I only check in here now and then, but someone recently sent this article to me. For years on my own blog, I felt like I needed to let people comment freely and not censor. But it's your space- don't feel bad about deleting assholes. Anyone who won't say those things without identifying him/herself is a coward unworthy of commenting.

Oh, my dear Mayumi. I didn't read the awful posts, so I can't comment, but I can only imagine given the general tenor of "anonymous posts" written on the internet. I offer you lots of love, pride in being your friend, and hope that your hopes for a child someday come true, the sooner the better, with sorrow for your losses.

Much much love to you.

As always, I'm late. Still, I'm sending you lots of love. Having been attacked on my previous blog by two different Anonymous' I know how it feels to have someone use your internet space against you. That kind of cowardice has no place amongst honest, thought people. I love you and I'm honored that you choose to share your journey with all of us.

May -- I heart you.

I, Caitlin Leffel Ostroy, do publicly declare that I love Mayumi and everything she writes and when you mess with her, Anonymous, you mess with all of us writers.

I just came across all that has been going on. All I can say is that your feelings are your feelings, and no one has a right to belittle them -- especially from behind an "anonymous" wall.

Keep your head up.
