So glad you found this forum. I love it as well. Very sorry for your loss. Knowing others care and have been through the same helps.A lot of times things aren't said that should be said, and I have put this off, mainly because I really didn't know how to express my thanks to everyone.
It is now going on 6 months since my wife passed, and in the first couple months the grief was heavy and hard to bear. After that, I felt a bit lost and the void that was left in my life was ever present.
I have friends and a wonderful family, but I can't call them up everyday just to talk. I had searched a few other sites of senior groups, but nothing seemed to fit. Then I happened upon this site, and I felt welcome from day one.
Again, I don't know how to express the appreciation I have for each of you. You will never know how much it has meant to me, and what a difference you have made in my life. Whenever, I feel the need for company and friendship, you are always here. I know, many times you are just seeing my twisted sense of humor, but the serious side of me sincerely wants to let you know that I'm deeply grateful for you and your wonderful, diverse personalities. I know I'm going to be okay now, and you deserve much of the thanks for that. You're the best of the best, and don't ever doubt that you aren't making a difference in the lives of others, because you certainly are. Thank you to all.![]()
A sense of humor is one of the most precious gifts you can have.
I too am feeling the love and kindness of this forum since my wife has been in therapy..It takes a village. We all contribute something.
(gasp) you don't accept cash? It's illegal not to accept cash!I am unsure about everyone else, but I accept money orders, cashiers checks, and even cases of top shelf Scotch.![]()
I like cash. And chocolate.(gasp) you don't accept cash? It's illegal not to accept cash!
No hardship putting up with you Pappy..one of Gods' Earth's nicest people...Bobcat. I’m been a member since 2013 and I couldn’t have said it any better. I, too, love this forum. People have put up with my nonsense for 10 years now. God bless you and god bless all the folks that put up with me.![]()
lol..I know what you mean Kat....We are so glad you are here! This forum has helped me in so many ways sometimes I forget I don't know everyone in person.
You're very kind, but I'm not seeking anything like that. I'm just happy to be enjoying the company of a terrific group of people.@bobcat48 I think, as with most things, it works both ways; you have contributed a lot to the forum, in fact, I think you have every chance in becoming not just a SF VIP but, possibly, the first ever, SF VIP Champ![]()
