PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
Buggy, you were the first person to welcome me personally to the forum (yes, I still remember my first time in the chat room when we whispered to each other and you told me that some of you discussed whether I was a banned poster returning but that you had concluded I was not) and so you will always hold a special place in my thoughts.
I have lost two close relatives to sudden deaths and have seen the effect that had on their wives. You, Katie and your family have my deepest sympathies.
Please know, in the coming days and weeks and months, when you feel alone, that you are not alone and that here and elsewhere you have friends and family who love you, support you and are there to help you with anything.
When my father died, my children made me a lovely (if a little unusual) little picture of a grave site and flowers. There is a circle above with the words (I've corrected the spelling mistakes): "We all don't like that grandpa is dead but he is alive in our hearts." And they wrote their names. Remember Steve as he lived and he, too, will remain alive in your hearts.
