Did anyone save my swan song?

With the new setup, I can't find my old swan song, on archive 25 (message 27?). If anyone saved it, can you email it to me? halexisp@dca.net. I want to post it elsewhere. It seems to have been helpful ... maybe it will help someone else.
As for me, I'm still healed - enough so that I completely forget I was ever abused, unless I am reminded by someone who needs comfort or guidance, or by peculiar circumstances. I live in a state of not-having-my-life-interefered-with-by-my-past. Let me say, that is more grace than I dared hope, by miles. And it is possible, because I live it. Every day.
My sons are both well and growing, I'm learning more and more each day about being a mother, wife, friend, human. It is humbling, and sometimes very scary. But all it takes for my heart to sing is to stand and look at the sky, the same way I did that first day I stepped free, and the tears of joy well up again.
It is truly amazing how flexible, powerful, potent, and resilient we humans are... some experiences are too much to survive, but yet, here you all are, not only still alive, but seeking wholeness in spite of not knowing (yet) if it is possible.
It has been so long, I have forgotten the exact text of my closing - but it was something like "good healing" ...
so, good healing, and I hope someone saved it. I would regret not finding it again.

I was thinking you could do a search but I don't think the search function will help you very much b/c it doesn't seem to want to search back further than a year or so ago. You could just go through the tedious task of backing through the archives. That's a bear, I know, but it might be the best way to find it. All I know is, it hasn't been lost.
Take good care of yourself,

I did find it by paging back, then noticing that the address contained dates. Then editing the dates by hand to get back to a few of my older posts, then looking around. Phew!
My weblog site, by the way: http://pages.ivillage.com/meadowlark_sings/meadowlarksweblog/
Take care,

So, don't feel badly about linking anything to me or this site. I'm honored to be part of your weblog, it's very nice.
I only started posting here about two months ago. I clicked on the link to your weblog and really liked it! Is that where you are going to re-post the swan song? I would really like to read it.
It's wonderful that you are able to help others along the healing path you have already been on. I'm so happy that that part is over for you. I hope to achieve that feeling of wholeness and healing.
Thank you for sharing so much of yourself with others.
