....we hope you'll hang out here till you can't. I can't remember too many goodbyes here, but I still remember friends who were here and passed, and goodbyes weren't necessary. We'll know by one's absence that either they are gone or can no longer post. But, I would like to say it has been a pleasure conversing with you all and having someone to commiserate with. We may never have met or seen each other, but we all had a commonality, we had to deal with death and disease, and having some place and someone to talk to is surely comforting. It is for me, and I will always remember the folks here.
