Bad Times. Taking a break
As my newly revised signature indicates I've had a bit of a bad month. The last, HGP who passed away in the early hours of this morning, was a close relative. The other two were both good friends All died after serious illnesses.
I've been trying to keep positive and use the forums as a bit of a distraction but it has all now become a bit much. I'm going to be taking a break for a while until I get my head back together. I'll be checking in on PMs intermittently so if you want to get hold of me then please use that. I can't promise a quick reply though. Wishing you all well in the meantime. stepurhan

I'm so sorry. Take care of yourself.
 From my favorite book, The Little Prince "People have stars, but they aren't the same. For travelers, the stars are guides. For other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. And for still others, for scholars, they're problems. For my businessman, they were gold. But all those stars are silent stars. You, though, you'll have stars like nobody else." "What do you mean?" "When you look up at the sky at night, since I'll be living on one of them, since I'll be laughing on one of them, for you, it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. You'll have stars that can laugh!" And he laughed again. "And when you're consoled (everyone is eventually consoled), you'll be glad you've known me. You'll always be my friend. You'll feel like laughing with me. And you'll open your windows sometimes just for the fun of it... And your friends will be amazed to see you laughing while you're looking up at the sky. Then you'll tell them, 'Yes, it's the stars. They always make me laugh!" |

And my deepest apologies for allowing myself to be taken in by...descriptive terms fail me at the moment.

Take care of yourself, Stepurhan. Come back when you're ready. I'm sure you'll be missed.

Appreciate you all. (though condolences from Death feel both odd and strangely reassuring Squinky.
 ) It's good to know that I have such good friends here and I hope to rejoin you soon.

Step, allow yourself the room to grieve, to cry - come here when you need to laugh again or need to feel the warmth you know you will find here. Meanwhile take care of you - don't let your health fail you in the face of such great loss. Though we will miss you, we'll still be here when you return.
Take care, my friend. FGM
