A poem acknowledging the support a member received on iVillage's Families In The Forces message board

Others cannot understand
My feelings like you do
They will never comprehend
that you feel it too.
Being here is all I need
To make it through the day
"I understand, I've been there too"
Is what I hear you say.
You will always tell me
What I need to hear,
Listening, never judging
Whenever I shed a tear.
I only need to call on you
When I have a frown
and the lifeline in my living room
never lets me down.
