First off, I want to thank all of you that have been so kind and supportive towards me. I don't have the words to properly tell you how important they were and continue to be for me.This is my first time back since my last. I don't think it is fair to any of you, having to wonder if or when he (me) is coming back.
So, I will tell you that I am taking a time out from GA and everywhere else for that matter. Once things are all settled here, I will come back. I was going to remove my page and just disappear. Then I thought about all those that have done that and how I hated not knowing, what or why.
I do not want to burn all my bridges, since I swim like a rock and do intend to come back, if you will have me.
If I am able I will be back next year (January).
Take care &
Best wishes
to you all

I think that everyone has already said it, but I'll repeat it or put it in a slightly different way.
You take as long as you want or need to, it is not a question of if we will have you back, this is a family and GA is our home, THIS IS YOUR HOME TOO AND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE WELCOME HOME. Take care in what ever you do, just don't forget that will always have us.

Sending you a couple Hugs on Happy Hug Day!
But I only slightly resemble the guy with the sunglasses. Only slightly. I wish I looked more like the guy he’s hugging! ;–)

I've noticed that you haven't been on for a few weeks and I know that you will be back when you feel ready, but I just wanted to leave a message for when you do return. You still in my thoughts and I hope that you are well, I am still here if you need or want to chat as are all your friends. Take care my friend and I hope to hear from you soon.

announcements Happy New Year and Announcements
sandrewn commented on Myr's blog entry in Announcements & Site Technology
Happy New Year, to you Myr, to the GA team who help you make it all work. To the GA authors, thousands of GA members, past, present and those yet to come. Everyone here, started from scratch, any of you could make a difference, age is not a barrier, do a little, do a lot, hundreds or thousands could move a mountain, what a year, 2019 could be and wow, there are still 364 days left to go! Have a really great year! sandrewn -

It is the 1st of January 2019. I wanted to start the year off right by wishing you all, The Very Best & A Very Happy New Year (and not be late for a change).
Thanks again,
take care

Hello everyone
I am not ready to come back yet, but today, when I saw all your well wishes and comments, I had to stop in and say, thank you all so much. Home is now just a place for me, I think it is the silence, the utter quiet, that I have never experienced before. Everything I see or touch brings back a memory or a voice in my mind.
I want to wish all of you and yours, 'A Merry Christmas'.
Only one thing I would advise to each of you. That anyone that you love or care for, make sure to tell them so, each and every time that you can. Let them know, every day. Don't let it go until the next time, because one day there will be no next time and it will be to late. I learned that, the hard way.
Thank you
and take care

I know how difficult it is to lose someone so close to your heart and to experience the 'firsts', I also know that the help and support of friends does help to ease the hurt. I hope that our love and support is of help to you too. If you ever need a friend to lean on I am here, just call on me whenever you need to.

I know that we don't know each other very well but I tried to send you a more personal message than just my reply to your status, I hope that you get to read this soon. I lost my dad a few months ago and like you I've found it hard to come to terms with, I'm assured by many friends that it does get easier in time and know that it's not that easy to accept that as anything to help with the hurt. But one thing that a very good friend of mine did say has helped and I hope that by passing it on helps you too. While it's hard to think about what you have lost, try to think about all the good things that you gained from having someone that you cared about and who cared about you so much. There are many good memories if you think hard enough and many good lessons that you learned. Hang on to those memories as they will never fade but get stronger and be of comfort. My dad and I had made a commitment to a local shelter for the Christmas period. It was hard for me but I honoured that commitment as much for honouring his memory as as it was important to both of us. This has given me some more good memories which makes me feel good about myself and the future. I hope that you can find something to help you too.
If you need a friend to 'listen' I'm here if need you need me, I understand many of your feelings as I'm experiencing them too.
I hope that your heart will heal but never forget the good memories and I wish you all the best for the future.
Craig.

I lost my twin brother at our birth.
I lost my big (and only) sister in 1999.
I lost my father in 2000.
This morning I lost my mother, Theresa Varga.
We were five, now there is me, myself and I.
To every one here who were so caring and supportive of my mom and I. I say, a thank you again, it meant all the world to me. She fought the good fight, till her body could give no more. She is at peace now, no more pain or suffering. I choose to believe that she is with them now, waiting, for however long it takes for me to join them and then we can all be together once more.
I will not be around for a while. Nor can I tell you when I will return. I know this is all just a part of life and that it happens to us all. That doesn't make it any easier to take.
Thank you all
Take care
Goodbye

Hi Declanlangron. Yes, you have been silent (so far). Your 17 followed stories say that you are an avid reader of the stories found here. That is your choice to make, and I hope that you find many more stories here to enjoy.
I want to wish you a Happy 24th Birthday and an awesome day of celebration.
Yes, I know I'm late, but just by a bit.
Take care

Hello wolfwriter. I am fortunate in that I like stories about were-creatures, as you call them and of course anything to do with Harry Potter. Now, if only I could figure out how to get you to post more often. Oh, I know real life gets in the way, but I can dream, can't I.
I want to wish you a very Happy 40th Birthday(it is only a number) and that you had fantastic day.
Take care

I didn't sleep last night, I have to, tonight. I couldn't focus last night and am overly tired right now. I will try to do a couple of catch up updates later on today and evening.
Thanks
