Dear Friend, I'm glad to see you have remained with me all this despite, what recently transpired; as it goes to show you have a great deal of humanity and compassion which spans both time and space. Throughout the many years of being on the internet and all through life, only I ever manage to come across honorable people who actually showed true kindness only to be lost due to terrible choices on my part or unmanageable circumstances, regardless I'm glad I never have to feel worried nor insecure any further..

To Whom It May Concern,
I have blocked you from sending any more Private Messages to me on this website. I can tell that someone is sending PM's to me at least once a day when I see "(1 new messages)" at the top of the page. But when I check my inbox, your PM's are not there. Then I see "(0 new messages)" instead.
In other words, PM's from you (and others) get deleted before I can read them. I do not know what you are trying to tell me, and I do not want to know. But if you believe it is really important, then submit it as a post in a thread -- maybe even start a new thread to tell me what you want me to know. Just remember that the mods are only a 'Report' button away.

For LZ,
I'm thinking of you today and remembering how much you did to help. I know you tried to warn me and protect me. I didn't realise the money was your way of saying you were dying. I just thought of that today after all these years. I knew you were mothering me but you must have known you were sick already, and you wanted to provide for my kids.
I still remember you as one of the greatest forces of love in my life. I can picture you like you're standing in front of me. Even though I'm totally face blind and can't picture anything clearly in my mind, I can always see you with perfect clarity even more than my real mother. I still have that glass dish you gave me for Valentines, that black top from the Shopping Channel (LMAOOOO -- it's so you), and that gold apple magnifying glass. The chain broke but I have the apple and I use it sometimes, but it's normally tucked away with your obituary. I can see your purple nail polish -- the exact shade. I can hear you laugh as you planned your cruises and holidays to Spain. I remember you and Jim A, two peas in a pod with your crisps. I hope he's with you now. Maybe you're doing mimeographs or chilling on the purple bench Sydney made for you. I bawled my eyes out when I saw that, but I'm sure you know.
You know everything, and you always did. I wish I didn't take you for granted but I was young and preoccupied ... and you know the rest. You probably knew it all even when you were alive, and that's why you were drawn to me. You wouldn't want me to live with regrets so I won't, but I'll never forget you either. I wish I'd known you were ill. In retrospect, it was so obvious. I wish I could have given back even 1/10th of what you've given to me.
Anyway, it's one of those days where we should go for coffee and b***h about life. You can pay. I'll likely forget my purse there and need to go back, but life's all about going back.
