Dear Tracie,
You have helped so many and we wanted to show you just how much you are appreciated here.
We asked some people we know you have helped to show just how great an impact you have had and have. We hope that others will see this add on =)
<3 always
Sam and Lauren
'Thank you tracie for being there for being understanding for being awesome and for founding the safe room. lots of love jen(long road) and ducky xxx'
Butterflies on the
Breeze, flapping
Vibrant wings of
Golden colors; a
Rainbow on a small
Gust of breath
Passing by.
Flowers with fragrances
Only described by
Beauty for the senses.
Spectacular feasts
For all to enjoy.
A world of small
Cuddles, and intertwining
Hands, lacing together
Like a quilt covered
Across a soft, green
Field.
Protection from the
Lurkers of the dark.
Given a room where
Bumps in the night
Are only teddies falling
From the shelves.
Rainbows painted across
Faces; smiles spread
Across the room, for
All to enjoy. Everyone,
Small girl, or young boy.
We send grace for the
Protection, built for
Us all; where even
If we trip, its okay
To fall. To be
Who we are, with
No judgment to be
Seen. A place,
Where we are truly FREE.

You've been there for me for god knows how long. 4 years? I dunno. But you've been there and that's all that matters. You've been there when life's thrown **** in my eyes and I couldn't see and you've been there when I couldn't see right from wrong.
Life is pretty crumby for you right now, but remember my bus analogy?
Quote:
Jobs are like buses. They don't turn up for ages, then 3 turn up at once and they're either full, or stink of piss. But, you're bored of waiting so you get on the one that smells of piss. You get on, but three stops later, you see the perfect looking bus behind you, so you get off and get on that one instead.
I know I irritate you, and don't listen to you most of the time, and I'm not serious and I'm a genuine **** most of the time; but I care. And I just wanted to say that I love you to pieces. I still watch the videos you sent me, and I still have the birthday cards. And I do have stuff to send you, it's in the envelope and everything. I can't remember what it is though =P
alas, I diverge. I think you're fantastic Tracie and you're genuinely appreciated here and would be dearly missed<3 ~Chelscar
Dear Tracie,
Ahh Tracie! You are truly amazing. You have helped and continue to help so many. You fight my battles right alongside me. You’re always there to remind me that they don’t define who I am and can be. Most importantly you do all of this with patience and love.
Since my first post in the safe room you have been the greatest. You have an amazing talent of making everyone feel welcome, cared for, and safe. You protect all of our hearts and minds from being taken over by the thoughts and feelings that have been programmed into us by “them”. You help us reprogram ourselves and to see ourselves in a different, more positive light.
I don’t know where I would be without you and I’ve only known you for a few weeks! I can only imagine how the people that have known you for years feel <3. We love you, Tracie!!!

Thank-you for always being there. It seems like you have been here forever. I personally remember coming into the Safe Room 2 or 3 years ago, and you made me feel safe then too. You were one of the first people to tell me I wasn't alone, and it wasn't my fault, and though I may forget these things sometimes, it really means a lot that you said it, and that you never leave anyone behind. <3
You clearly mean a lot to the people of this board. A lot of us would be feeling pretty lost if you weren't here, and no matter what you do, just remember that there are a lot of people whose lives you have changed, and a lot of people who love you. <3

*tears up* This really makes me feel good. Lots of times I feel like I don't do much because lots of times all I do is sit around on my computer. I struggle at school and can't get a job and even struggle in my internships helping "real" people. But this feels like home, and I know even if my day sucks and I feel useless I can come home and cuddle my girls and talk to you and I feel like I'm actually doing something. *massive massive hugs* I love you all.
And *hits Chelsey with a pillow* What makes you think you irritate me? That's crazy talk.
Thank you so much to Sam and Lauren for doing this. :)

"A penny for my thoughts, oh no, I'll sell 'em for a dollar
They're worth so much more after I'm a goner
And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'
Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'"
Ive had so many name changes you probably don't even know who I am.
But I just wanted to say thankyou :) and you have helped me loads in the past :) you deserve to feel good about what you do on here because you help so many people.

I know I don't talk about things often, if ever, but your advice has meant so much to me over the years. I wish you could see just how much you've done for me.
I think I've known you for... four years? Five? Sometimes it doesn't seem that long, but then sometimes it also seems a lifetime ago that we first started talking. I've changed so much, and a lot of it was you giving me the encouragement and support for me to start taking those baby steps. I still have all the cards and letters you've sent me, and the teddy you gave me.
You do so much for everybody, and I'm so thankful I met you *big squishy hugs*
For those doubts that swirl all around us
For those lives that tear at the seams
We know… we’re not what we’ve seen
For this dance we’ll move with each other
There ain’t no other step than one foot
Right in front of the other
Hey Tracie,
Saw this and had to add a reply. You are one amazing lady.... no matter how you feel you're always here to help us all. But not just that, you've become a really good friend of mine too.... a friend that I couldn't do without. So a massive thank you for everything you've done for me... for being there, for offering advice, and making me feel safe when I'd got no-one else.
