Of course you should post. it's YOUR one year anniversary and you deserve to have the praise that follows.

you have done an awesome job, I love the "Paper doll" statement. "Out of the mouths of babes".

but the hugging is a huge thing, it just feels so nice to get close to people again.

I love it when my husband hugs me, it's like a big warm blanket  when he gets his arms all around me and i can snuggle right up to him. nothing better than that.

congrats on the roller skating and amusement rides, that seems to be a big one for most everyone.

You have done amazing, just amazing, enjoy every moment of your new life.

Thanks for your fantastic supportive response.  We all have similiar journeys and experiences but no one can come close to knowing what they feel like until you have them.  I agree with the hugging, although hubby now says there isnt much left of me...joking.  It is awesome.  Even something like not hanging over chairs when I sit....actually not hanging over, but not even filling the chair anymore.  So crazy.....in such a short period of time.
