Susan,
What a great letter. I was one of those offended yesterday by the post, however, I have learned that life is just too short to have something like this bother me. Therefore I never replied. However, I just wanted to say great post Susan... it sounds like you have a great community of families and friend in Yukon!
I don't fit the parameters that A. wants. 6 years ago, I fit perfectly. I was the educated stay at home mom, with the perfect family, house, church, kids etc.... then cancer struck and life as I knew it ceased to exist. I am now a single/ONLY parent to two girls. I work out of the house and try my best to make their lives as normal as possible. We are slowly climbing out of the hole we found ourselves in when our lives came crashing down around us when their dad was diagnosed with cancer and couldn't work, and eventually passed away.
A.... I am sure you were trying your best not to offend people.. but you did. I do hope you find that perfect group you are looking for. I'm sure those people who that appealed to will email you directly. Good Luck... and I really hope that your glass house will never come crashing down around you, because with the type of friends you are requesting, they may not hang around to help pick up the pieces.
