Mourning...

[CelticKC]

I am mourning this so to be closing of TBD... It is like a member of family is going away....

This is one of those "I don't get it" moments where I feel like something really really good is being lost in a world where we need good things....

It was a very unexpected notification... My sadness is quickly disappearing as I see so many kind and familiar faces over here. The format is just the vehicle we use to interact with some great people. I think I will find myself right at home here.

`YEAAAAAAAAAAAAY' good on ya!

I agree that I am mourning the passing of TBD, but since I like to look at every loss or change as a challenge and opportunity for growth and maybe improvement, I am looking forward to the new adventures to be had in teebeedee.ning.

I think you are going to be very pleasantly surprised Baja,
and it is nice to say hello to you.

I've lost so many things in my short years, enough to understand how my mourning facility works. It never kicks in right away, or not usually. It comes and goes like an uncomfortable friend at the door, knocking, the priest, making his community rounds. You have to be polite, you have to mourn, you have to feel the ebb and tide.

I may be a bit jaded now. Loss is an old friend. The Lord giveth and taketh, but it is my choice whether to drip tears upon the shifting sand.

I get ornery sometimes - I refuse to wallow or look back. Machete in hand, I beat down the vines that make the new path toilsome. I take the fear and put it with the little, brown jug: Back and away, in the storage room out back in the old shed, buried by a myriad of discarded ventures.

I luv how you express your feelings Alendar, (maybe I could start calling you Alendarling),
and someone told me once that it is good for us to shed our tears of sadness,
and just let them flow, for while we hold them back inside - they weigh too heavily upon our heart.

KC,

I felt, last night, like it was the last day of High School. The better part is that I know I'll never lose you.

You weave well....

Like some of the others, I don't feel sad any longer since we have this site to come to!!! Let's be grateful that this site is available!!!

Masterful,

I've recently begun to learn this. Thank you for sharing. Home is where I make it, not a building.

Friends are in my heart, not in a geographic place...

I don't feel a need to mourn because for me this is simply a family who packed up their things and moved to a new, more beautiful place to call "HOME". And, we all know, that "Home is where the heart is". My heart is now here with all of you!!!!

I had a sort of pet Blue Jay till two days ago. He would come every morning and beg for peanuts. He raised two young ones in my back yard. He was part of my day to day world. Two days ago he flew out of the car port out into the street and got smacked right in front of me by a speeding car. I burried him in the back yard at the foot of the tree where his nest is.
TBD will recover, perhaps evolve. But losing a bird really sucks.

Thankfully they gave us time to adjust to the reality of it. I will miss the comraderie (and "discussions") very much.
