Absolutely! I said in another reply - I met my best friend because she and her husband came to the shop, and she turned me onto fanfic, which inspired me to write my own, which enabled me to come here to LJ and meet everyone here. Just one of soooo many examples of how this place opened doors for us. I am saddened more than anything by the thought that we will no longer be associated with it anymore.

But it was a wonderful dream that we made come true for 2 1/2 years, and I wouldn't take a moment away from it, and I don't regret a thing. It was our dream, and we made it a reality.

Like the song says, I could have missed the pain, but I would have had to sit out on the dance, and the dance was wonderful while it lasted.
