Condolences, congrats, & welcome back
A shining example of how Life can be so crazy-good and crazy-bad that people say, “you can’t make up shit like this!”
I believe that your beloved first wife guided you to your second wife. How fortunate you both are!

I’m so glad you’re back and that you somehow survived all the stress and trauma and found your way to rebirth and happiness. I suspect you won’t need this place as a refuge very much now. The joy of your current life will pull you away pretty effortlessly.
Just in case you think you haven’t made a difference around here, I want to share this with you. Several years ago when I had a bad flight and got very anxious about flying, I found an old post of yours about turbulence, and it helped me a great deal. Last winter my daughter and her husband had a terrible flight–many-passengers-vomiting-bad-- and she was sick with trepidation about the next leg of their long trip. I dug up your turbulence post and passed it on, and it helped her, too.
Thank you. Just one of the many reasons I’m glad you’re here again.
That’s a really cool thing to share, @nelliebly. I was glad to read it.
@LSLGuy, it’s great to see you back and posting. As others have noted, we felt your absence.
You’ve been through so much and have handled it all with grace and decency. Time to enjoy the gifts you’ve been given and leave behind the adversity.
Welcome back, if only as time allows. 
A warm welcome back. Your absence saw scads of interesting topics that were ripe for your astute commentary, which I would have looked forward to reading. Having said that, I feel somewhat selfish to say that in light of the tumult inflicted on you over the past 8 months. I’m glad it seems you’ve effectively landed on your feet.
Welcome back -
Condolences/congrats/condolences and congrats!
And we definitely needed more of a Broward presence here 
I don’t post often enough to represent these days.
I am so glad to see the return of @LSLGuy . Sorry you’ve had such an up and down year; hope it’s plain sailing from now on!
You were gone?
Seriously, I’m sorry to hear about your wife and other things. Glad you’re back. Dopers are great therapists. 
Welcome back. I always look forward to reading your posts.
You’ve had a difficult year. I wish you the best and hope things get better in the future
Hi there! I’m so happy to see you here. I’ve often wondered how you were doing and hoping you were well. I never could have imagined so much going on in such a few months. What a whirlwind your life has been.
Along with everyone else, I want to offer my congratulations and my condolences. I wish you happy travels with your new bride.
So glad you’ve returned.
So glad you are back! You have no idea who I am but I missed your posts. My condolences for all the terrible things you have been through and congratulations on your new marriage! May it be long and happy.
Selfishly I had been down on occasion because I had not seen you here, not knowing all you’ve been through.
Your posts always were in my head in the voice of a good friend who himself was a commercial passenger pilot. When I had not seen you I figured something was wrong, wished I could help. Silly, no?
Then late last week I thought of you, hoping you would return. Thanks for being back after your long slog through duty, sadness, “bad health,” and now the bright warmth of new love.
You’ve been through a lot. You deserve the clear weather and blue skies.
Welcome back.
Welcome back, @LSLGuy! You’re mentioned several times in the “missing Dopers” thread, but now that you’ve told us about your recent life, no wonder. What a roller coaster ride, and congratulations on finding happiness again!
What Wolfpup said 
goes for me too.
Agreed.
Wow
Welcome back.
This.
It’s obviously been a really rough year. Sorry about your wife, I’ve read that losing a spouse like that is almost the worst thing to happen to a person.
But I am glad to see another Doper return, Poke around a bit, there are some fun threads going. I like the movie lines thread in Cafe Society. And of course in MPSIMS there’s always the MMP. Next year for 2023 I’ll be running the DeathPool again. phungi took it over last year and this year, as for some time I had a hard time keeping up due to my hip. But I’m ready to be the DeathMistress again.
Whatever has happened you can vent here.
Welcome back! I realise now that I never responded to your last communication, sorry.
Is it possible to have a healthy relationship with the SDMB 
?
Welcome back, I missed you when you went. One of the sanest voices around here
