She asked Jodan or I to let people know who should know.

Thanks for letting me know, Waz.
Pin *sigh*

Hi Pin. I just saw that thread and I wanted to do something special for boots. I'm trying to put together a little tribute type thing at A1047043

Any comments you have would help a lot.

Hello Jodan
This is a lovely idea.
Of course I'll add something.
It needs a bit of thought, yeah? I'll post back here when I have it.
Sad Times...
But Thanks
Pin

I'll wait.

Hi Jodan
This is what I'd like to say to Boots

_____________________________________________

This is a tiny window through which we glimpse each others' lives.
There are some like you, Boots, who are bright in spirit, and who illuminate the window.

Each and every life has light and shade. In the best-lived lives, where day-time is beacon-bright, the contrast with night-time may seem the starkest.

When you've known pure joy, the darkness can appear irredeemable. Just now, you might feel that your beacon will never be relit.

But the pattern of contrast has been reversed, Boots. The light will return, when the time is right. And after profound darkness, its intensity and vitality will restore you.

Certainty that the light will return can make all the difference now, believe me. It will admit the expression of your grief, and consolation in your memories. It will allow you to feel gratitude for the sympathy of others. Most of all, it will give a purpose to what you're going through.

Keep that thought close, Boots, until you light our window again.

Love

Wow. THat's lovely, I used a cheap little anecdote and fluff

We all love her, so it's all lovely, Jodan.

(Having said that, I am rather proud of this...)

Pin *moist-eyed and vain at the same time. Typical!*

Thanks pin, it's in there now

Great job, Jodan. YOU be proud now, y'hear?

Okay pin, thanks

That's beatiful Pinniped. So's your Jodan, they both reflect who the two of you are (and no I'm not calling you a piece of anecdotal fluff).

Something you two have in common is how honest you both are in posting. I tempted to use the 'cool' smiley but it doesn't seem quite right.

Thanks Waz.
(I wouldn't mind being though, honest)

Ok, cheers to two dudes.

And btw, that was a cool thread you stuck on the community soapbox this evening Pinniped.
