Few years ago I got a kind email from a reader who lives 700 kilometers away from me. The part of the email that touched me the most was this one:
"One of the things that help me is your blog (and other blogs). It makes me feel less alone in my struggles. That's why I want to thank you for writing about infertility. It does make a difference. For me and many other women, I am sure."
When you write a blog on something so very personal as infertility it is just wonderful if someone writes you something kind. And tells you her (or his) reasons for reading the blog.

The photo above was taken at our most beautiful alpine lake this weekend. I went there with my husband, my penfriend (with whom we exchanged many emails since her first email) and her husband.
The infertility has taken a lot from me. But it has also given me so much - like these new friends. We invited them in our home and they stayed with us for couple of days. It was just lovely to see our new home full of life.
The visitors have already left but I am very sure we will meet again.
I often say to people who are writing and feel worthless that they don't know how much they are helping the silent readers. I'm so glad your readers have not all been silent, and that you had the pleasure of making new friends, and hosting them in your house. I'm still hoping to get there!
ReplyDeleteAnd that is a stunningly beautiful photo. It reminds me of an old painting. And also - it reminds me of NZ.
dear Mali, your visit in Slovenia the first time was way too short. We both hope to meet you and your husband again!
DeleteDo include Slovenia in your next European travelling!!
Hello dear Klara!! I'm so happy to read something from you. As usual, your photo is beautiful. I hope to be one of your houseguests in Slovenia one day. <3

dear Léa, thank you for your kind words! I am still very glad that you & me have already met also in person (the walk with you through the streets of Paris was just perfect). And I am looking forward to your visit in our country one day!
DeleteDear Klara, it took me a few days to find the right words to comment on this special post. I am still deeply honored and touched that I could meet you in real life and see a bit of your beautiful country. It is a huge gift. Thank you for your hospitality! Hvala.
ReplyDeleteDear Elaine, I have just read your latest blogpost and I am deeply touched. Thank you.
