a shout-out to my early mentors here...

[Hopalong]

Seasons, Plucky, Mum, Daylily, Miss Piggy, October, H&H, Portia, Cadbury, Becalmed, Moon, and many more...

I know I haven't listed you all, didn't have the time to search up all those wonderful names...and though a few of you are here now and then still, some of you have moved on, feeling well-healed I hope, caught up in new lives (Bravo!), but to those of you who still pop in to read now and then, I just want to say THANK YOU!

Your welcome and wisdom here almost two years ago have made a tremendous difference in my life.

And a loving wave to Bloopsy, too, who haunts me still but who I hope has found peace and especially safety.

love,
Hops

I remember many of them as well-also Stacylynn, Ellie and Flower

Oh no.... ::grabbing HOPS, CB, WRITE, Izz and MUD by the lapels::

Dooooooooon't leeeeeaaaaaave meeeeeeeeee!

Ahem,

I meant, don't leave us; )

Did all these people just fade away? 

Were there goodbye parties?  ::biting fingernail::

[Hopalong]

I'm too lonesome to leave, Lighter.
Ma's back. Snoring downstairs.

YOU ALL are my evening family and friends.
Somehow the phone doesn't do it for me in real life, this board does.

Yes, a lot of these folks faded out. I found it hard. I need farewell.

But it's also been a lesson in letting go.
I promise if I do go, sometime, I will say so, so I won't push anybody
else's abandonment buttons, I hope.

Bloopsy was an endearing tormented young woman with Dissociative disorder
who lived in dangerous circumstances...and was "multiple"...but who still
came here and posted the most luminous things when she was lucid, and
heartrending things about her dangerous loves and ventures when she
was not. I was truly worried about her safety, and will never know.

 

love
Hops

YES, I miss Seastorm a lot too! Mud's still lurking nearby on the bank thank god, and Axa, and Towrite...

And CB--getting to know you has been a classic example of the pure gift of this board. You're sterling.

Love back to you, and so much respect and affection...

Hops

I am a great believer in gratitude.  It was beautiful to read this thread.  I have been aware that I have not posted as much as I used to but I am still here.  I need the support of this board.  I am feeling so much stronger but there are people here who heard me when no one else did.  Who read my rants and responded as loving parents......... xxxxxxxx forever

I have become less vocal here but am not going away.  In fact will post my very own topic this evening

hugs to all
