Relic? It's me, Cloudbringer (gingerly steps up and sits on the bench nearby) I have read no other post here yet. I saw this and well, I'm depressed. Sincerely, Relic. Total Cloudbringer honesty here...sigh...
You have brought me much joy and laughter and made me feel quite special. I do not know what has caused you to feel as you do, and I am not an "old friend" surely, but I am a new one and as such am imploring you, kind sir, don't leave!!!!! Not like this.
I wanted to email you but see you have no address available. So I guess my private missive is now going to be public. So be it then.
I sometimes feel overwhelmed on this board now. It is so very large and so very well populated. New folk come and old ones drop out or disappear for a while. It is the nature of things. But I must tell you, through tears, that you truly did make me feel special. Always a kind word and always brought a smile. I'm starting to be "old news" on this board and new faces get tons of attention. Old ones often get overlooked in the excitement of making 'new' friends. You arrived on the scene just when I was starting to feel that 'old news' feeling. I can't thank you enough for giving me a little boost in the old ego and a big boost in the 'stick around and enjoy the place as it is' category. Cloudy likes her limelight, and it's very sparse these days. You made her feel like a Queen again.
I hope you read this. I hope it matters. And whatever faults you have or think you have...know that I and many others share the same or very similar ones. Not a one of us 'regulars' can say we haven't 'mispoken' and offended another..no, not even ME! I've done my share of explaining and setting things to rights around here. And everyone here is human...well, except for Memnoch, but that's another story!
I HATE goodbyes. And now I'm sniffling and StormQueen isn't the world's most 'pretty' crier...sheesh. Good thing it's late at night and I'm home.
Ok, so I'm trying desperately to get a laugh here....sorry, I don't feel very amusing now. You have touched me, Relic and I thank you for the stories and the goodness you exhibited in my presence. I will still say a few prayers for Brittany and will keep hoping you stay. And yes, I really am in tears. And I hate that it happens so often these days.
Bring back the caring soul who would make the very statements you did in your post. The one who cares enough about others to even worry about such things! Please? I could be on my knees if you like. But I'm thinking such a good,honorable and noble knight such as yourself would never let me do it...so I'm just begging outright from this bench...
TearfulCloud
-I'm going to read the other posts now, and know it will make me feel even worse
since I am a hundred percent sure that the others will feel as I do, and want you to stay-
