In reply to Wow - so happy to hear this CS. ((((you + her)))) (nm), posted by Kath on January 4, 2008, at 10:17:12
She went in with me - and she stayed for the whole meeting. I had an old meeting listing, and thought it was "open" when in fact it wasn't. So, a poor choice for a first-ever meeting, but there never is an easy way to do it. She was stoic and matter-of-fact; I was weepy and had to have the tissues passed to me. (Shakes head.) Who was helping whom?
She's a stubborn little cookie. I think that she felt, at least, the sense of community in the room. She also felt the wrath of the old-timers upset at a horse of a different color in their midst - they were just brutal about it. Sigh. If it had been me, I'd have run from the room, I swear it. How dare they?
But it was a step forward, and an important one. I'm really glad to have been with her for it.
