That was absolutely sweet and true Smooth. We're like sisters and brothers and cousins and well..........just family.........forgiving, loving, persnickety, ornery, kind, caring, happy, sad, angry and even sometimes destitute. We know that there might be times where we don't all get along, or don't want to hear what the other has to say, and even all of us at one time or another have to just step back and take an accounting of life and circumstances and events and our path and grow in other ways, but most of us eventually end up right back here with the smallest or biggest of intentions. Checking in with friends is a prerequisite to being a friend even if it is just now and again........at least imo........to see how we all are and to convey our adventures and thoughts or just understand what is happening in our lives. I like to think it is a forever journal. A journal we, our kids, our grand kids and even our great grand kids can and will find on line some day to read and understand the human being they sprung from. I miss all of the people you mentioned and more. I wish Cowboy Bob would check in once in awhile, and hope that some day he does. Until he and the other GITS you mention do, we won't forget who they are and their contribution to this small little slice of the world.

W.O.W.!! Is right Mary...! Your post is one of the most powerful posts I've seen on SI in the years I've been here (about 10).... I've said, this entire site is like a town to me, and various threads are like houses, and neighborhood pubs where people gather to discuss various issues. GITS is like the salon of Victorian times to me...but in a newfangled way. We can come as we are, can bring new things and ideas to the table to talk or think about, as well as all the things you mentioned. Losing my Mom and having people send their heartbased thoughts, and losing our little Prince in 2001, and this fall, the little minx Pixie caused my eyes to tear again.. Our family talked about ole' faithful Buddy and Yankee on Christmas Day...they were such good doggies that the entire neighborhood seemed to love...(Buddy was a mix of Black Lab and maybe German Sheppard and Yankee was a beautiful Golden Retriever) GITS is a great place, and we have wonderful parties too! Thanks for all the memories thoughts!
