Showing Original Post only (View all)My 12th Christmas Eve as a DUer. [View all]
Not to interrupt the latest bout of mayhem to overtake GD, but I was hoping to take a moment to say thank you.
Thank you for teaching me, for schooling me (and you know the difference there), for comforting me, inspiring me, making me laugh, and pissing me off.
Thank you for motivating me.
My gratitude at being a part of this place knows no bounds. That gratitude exists in a permanent state even on days when I want to chuck the lot of you into the river.
Families are like that.
Merry Christmas, DU. All my love to you and yours.
