I have been a Phan for most of my 35 years of life. I am fortunate to have found Phish early in my life.

I wanted to open an account on here after reading your blog. This is absolutely what they/IT is all about.

I will spare the details but my life has not been filled with joy. Most of my life is a story of tragedy, struggle, and challenge.

However, Phish heals my soul again and again. I mean this with all sincerity. For me and I feel the same goes for most of the community, THERE IS NOTHING BETTER.

This band/music/and community has never failed me. They never will.

So I say to you Ertle the Turtle... WELCOME to where you belong. You are WELCOME here.

May you find the peace and safety you need in your life for you and your family. And kudos to your boyfriend for bringing you to our Phamily.

Peace.
