Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

A new year now.

My second since my daughter drowned. Well, it’s a year and 8 months and nearly another month too.

What a bummer for you to read, huh? That’s not why I write this though. I want to thank you. All of you.

I want to thank all of you for the things you wrote last year and I can’t remember all of your names. Some I remember, others I should and don’t.

I was cut off from the rest of the world by Isabelle (consarned(Golderned?) storm that she was) for a while and waited for a time to connect back.

TommandDeb are wise. Opalcat is a good person. The Crew of the Ted was a lot of fun. Sorry for the drunken post Zenster (you know, the one about the trees?). Thankyou folks.

Outside is a brilliant over half moon that is casting shadows it’s so bright. I have my son with me and I’m seeing a lady I fell in love with in '73. I look around me now and I see calmer seas.

I am the luckiest man alive! I always was. (You would be the luckiest too if you’d met my daughter and or ever meet my son) I love my kids and they love me.
this isn’t at all what I intended to write but it’s what came out.

BTW my son makes the best brownies and chocholate chip cookies, my daughter would as well if she was here.

Isabelle! Dang! it took me almost a month to get power back! Phone was another thing entirely.
Now the law says I can’t use charcoal to cook, I used it for the whole time (of Isabelle)until I got electricity back. My son said "Mmmm, MmmMmmmm,Mmm,Mmmmm on the steaks and burgers and slug sausages(hot dogs are the slugs).

Well, to get to the point:
Happy New year folks! Thanks so very much.

I also meant to say I’m so sorry to you Johnny L.A. and Esprix. There is no such thing as words to make things better. There is only just sorrow. I guess we will all cry for our loved ones and one day believe it or not we will laugh because we new them and had fun. It would be much worse without having been with them wouldn’t it? I guess that’s the worst thing about love. Loss. The best though is still love and memories, keep them alive there.

Take care.

Welcome back, tunabreath. I remember you from before. Happy New Year (and a healing one, too.)

Always a spot for Tunabreath on the Ted.

That was one of the coolest threads ever. I’m not bragging, all I did was start it.

I never knew about your daughter. I’m so sorry that happened. :frowning:

Here’s to old memories and new beginnings.

I remember you very well tunabreath and your beautiful posts about your wonderful daughter.

Back then, I offered my condolences to you for your terrible loss and my thanks to you for sharing your memories and photos of your daughter with us.

Now I’d like to offer my thanks again for coming back to tell us that you’re doing better, for remembering us and for sharing your hard-won gratitude for life with us. Reading your post made me feel…warm and humble and hopeful all at the same time. :slight_smile:

So thank you, tunabreath and may you have a peaceful and prosperous New Year. God bless.
