A heartfelt thanks to everyone here

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. ❤️
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.
 

@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 🏆 ;)
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.

Your post is the first that I heard of your loss.
I am not always that good at phrasing things.
I send you my belated condolences.

I'd like to offer my condolences for the loss of your beloved wife, may she rest peacefully knowing how much you loved and still love her. Sending warm thoughts and hugs your way. 💜

I'm just seeing this. I certainly agree with the first part of your first sentence. You've actually done a wonderful job of eloquently expressing your gratitude. I'm very glad you found us and decided to stay. I'm so sorry about your wife. I didn't realize that it's only been a few months since she passed away. You have my deepest condolences and I pray that your happy memories will help to ease your grief. May Mrs. Bobcat Rest in Paradise.
