An open letter to Salmonchantentevening, [View all]
My Dear Friend,
Man I so hope you read this!
I have been at DU for awhile, first as a healing balm for the Bush years, then as an enjoyable habit!
When my little brother died, your LOLCats became my healing balm, I cry as I'm typing this, I'm scared to see this era gone.
I don't talk much, as you can tell from my low post count, but I'm here everyday, sometimes 2 or 3 times, and there are certain people
that I hold dear in my heart on this board,and you are one of them, Please don't leave?
Let me tell you about my brothers death.
4 1/2 yrs. ago, we had an earthquake, here in Wells Nev., big brother went over to little Brothers apartment in the Bay area to tell him in person that mom was okay, a little damage at the ranch but no major damage.
There was no answer at the door, big brother got the super to open it up. My beautiful baby brother was dead.
He grew up with Grand Mal Epilepsy, a week prior, he had a seizure fell and hit is head, and it killed him, he laid there for 6 days, before anybody found him. The guilt and the sadness were/are overwhelming.
That time in my life is a blur, so much to do and feel, but your constituency and heartfelt humor and kindness is the one thing I had to start my life again.
I guess it's too late now, I should have told you this a long time ago, but like I said, I am extremely shy on the internet.
I wish with every fiber of my being that I would have read the comments that fateful Sunday, when you were attacked, I know I would have come to your defense.
Your choice to leave is yours and yours alone, and I am sincerely sorry for that behavior of one ninny for taking you away from me.
I don't mean to sound so selfish,but I have come to love my Sunday mornings with you in them, it's like someone dying all over again.
Be kind to yourself always, and please know that there is someone in rural Nevada that is sending you blessings and love.
In Light,
sage
