The people we’ve lost stay with us as long as we keep their memories alive, talk about them with others who knew and loved them, and of course toast them. That said, I’m sorry for the pain in your heart.

I’m glad you had a successful trip!

I heard recently that your husband passed away, @joanstewart. I’m so sorry to hear it. And I apologize that it took me so long to reach out and give you my heartfelt condolences. It is always terrible

There’s nothing like chillin’ on a Friday evening after a long work week. I am Cute fungi! This one seems to have a personality. Ha ha.

Thank you for the kind wishes, @jacey.boldart!

Thank you, @shanibeer! Yes, it was indeed scary, and it’s very good to be almost fully recovered

Thank you, @itsostylish! It’s so great to be back!!

Wonderful to see you back in The Ink Well, @universoperdido. You really captured the pain and heartbreak of adolescence. Being LGBTQ must certainly have compounded the challenges.

Oh @agmoore, my heart is torn asunder. I wish there was more love, more abundance (distributed so it benefits those who need it), more understanding and caring in this world. This is a powerful story.

Thank you for the encouragement!

Me too, @silvertop! Late reply... due to being down with the flu all week. Quite an experience. I may actually post about it today. It will be a while before I'm well enough to get a registerable number

Sometimes it feels good to work that hard. :)

A move is never easy, right? But they have done it all themselves, with no professional help.
