Vaya con dios, **Sampiro**. Those others… They ain’t worth no never mind.\* Don’t let them stop you from coming back to us when you feel you can. [sub]\* Did this Yankee get that idiom right? 😉 [/sub] ---

[QUOTE=Zsofia] Is that the kind of thing one has to get approved by administration? [/QUOTE] Very likely. However, I haven’t organized anything of the sort. Asking the administration’s permission is the easy part; after that, I’d be lost. And what charity? We could e-mail Sampiro and ask, maybe. Anyone want to pick up this ball and run with it? ---

I will never understand mean people. I don’t want to understand mean people. I will find it difficult to carry on in a thread with some of those people from now on. **Sampiro** - come back when you can. You will be missed. ---

Sampiro, You are the reason I joined this message board. I don’t know what I missed by not coming everyday, but I’m going to do a little research now. (I’m the AA chick that has a serious crush on you) Please call or email if you EVER come to Atlanta - It’ll be like seeing a long lost friend to me to have you here. ---

Aww, **Sampiro,** I hate to see you leaving in this way but I do understand the tremendous stress you are under right now. May your mother spend her days as pain-free as possible, may your dog get better, and may your stress lessen and be replaced by some peace. Come back to us the moment you feel the time is right. You know we will welcome you with open arms. ---

I read the other thread and with a sigh said to my (non-doper) SO, “Aw, my favorite poster is leaving” and he said, “Sampiro?” I guess I talk about your threads quite a bit. Thanks for the laughs and the entertainment. I will definitely miss you around here. I sincerely wish you the best of everything. You’ve got tons of good karma comin your way. Please take care. ---

Sampiro, if you’re still reading this - I hope everything goes as smoothly as it possibly can for you and your family under the circumstances. You will be missed, much more than I think you realize. Hopefully, you will come back when you are ready.
