Condolences to Benny the Moderator
Benny the Moderator recently had his father pass away. This thread is for those who wish to express their condolences or whatever. Jan 15 07 12:32 pm Link Benny, Although I don't know you, we both know some of the same people, Michael LaPolla and Allison Brown. They both seem to like you and that's good enough for me. I have noticed one thing about you from your images and postings....you have a great sense of humor. You spend your time and your effort so other people might smile, laugh or have a better day. I wish there was something that I could say, to brighten your day, and make you smile or laugh, the way you have made me smile or laugh many times. Unfortunately, there's nothing humorous about the loss of someone close to you. I have no joke or humor, and nothing to say that might "make it all better". I wish there was. Perhaps you can find some comfort in knowing that your humor has touched the lives of others, strangers, people you'll never meet, and never know. That is your gift to those around you. I thank you for that and hope you'll find comfort in the memories of the good times you spent with your dad. Athough we want to last forever, you know we never will. That just makes the good bye harder still. We're only dancin' on this earth for a short while. Sincerely, Mike Kelcher ~ Minnesota Jan 15 07 12:57 pm Link When someone mentioned one of the mods had a family member die I was afraid it might be him.. My best wishes to you and your family, Benny. I'm terribly sorry for your loss. Jan 15 07 12:59 pm Link My father died 20 years ago this October....it gets easier to deal with as time passes but you never fully recover....

He must have taken pride in having as a son someone who so easily brings smiles and happiness to others. Jan 15 07 07:49 pm Link Benny, my thoughts and prayers to you and your family. Jan 15 07 07:52 pm Link It never fails to bring to mind lost loved ones and I cannot read it without tears in my eyes, and yet, it never leaves me feeling sad. Words are amazing. I like this version best. This is an indian ceremonial prayer. Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die. Jan 15 07 08:01 pm Link From what I saw, you did right by him -- sorry Man Jan 15 07 10:13 pm Link Benny, I was a wreck with even the possibility of losing my mother, I can not fully understand what you are going through right now. I am very deeply sorry for your loss. There are really no words that anyone can say that can make this an easier time, so I am just going to offer you my love and my thoughts. xoLamonicaxo Jan 15 07 10:35 pm Link *Removes hat and silently bows head in sympathy* My best thoughts and wishes. Vintage Jan 16 07 12:32 am Link Wow, just read this and... my deepest heartfelt condolences Benny. Best wishes and strength to you and yours. T. Jan 16 07 03:07 am Link |
