Friends

October 1, 2000 I crawled to this board defeated, dejected, depressed and desparate. December of 2001, I have discovered that It is time for me to leave. Recent events and realizations have helped me see why I have stayed so long and why now it is time to go.

I will miss all my friends here and I will never forget what I have learned from Michele and other DB scholars on this BB. This entire experience has been one of the most significant in my life.

Having put this experience in my wake, I offer the most significant piece of advice that has been given on this BB. "Stay the Course". If not to save your Marriage, do it to save your future.

There are many demands on my life that make staying here undesirable. I can finally say that I feel I have repayed my debt. Thank you for making that clear Charlie.

I take with me all the new skills I have learned in regards to dealing with relationships and many new insights into my own psyche. For that, I owe you all a debt of gratitude

Farewell! Farewell!

Make an outstanding life

Kent

My dear friend Kent,

I could never fully let you know how much you've helped me. You seemed to always be there for me, with either words of encouragement, or a swift kick in the butt when I needed it. You were always good for a reality-check for me!

You HAVE repaid your debt, probably ten-fold. I would wish you luck for the future, but I don't think you'll really need it. You have all the skills it'll take to not just survive, but to thrive.

You and your family will be in my prayers, my friend. I feel blessed to have known you. I thank you, again, from the bottom of my heart for all your help.

I LOVE you, man! You can have my budweiser anytime!

Keep in touch. If you want to e-mail me anytime, I'm at jamesjohndb@yahoo.com

Merry Merry Christmas and a hope the New Year is filled with what your heart's desires!
Tree ( who hopes to be right behind you! )

Aww...Kent...sorry to see you go, but it's understandable. I agree that you have paid back you debt ten-fold, and have gone well above and beyond the call of duty. I'm sorry for the newcomers who will miss out on your wonderful posts and advice, but I am happy I was so fortunate to have met you here. Thanks for all you've done for me, and take care. I wish you the best...*smile*...R8

Kent,
I’m also sorry to see you go, but I’m happy for you and your family. I remember when I first came on board you were there to greet me. You even logged on at home with your new ID to give me advice, help and support. There is no word to describe how much it meant to me for the time like this. You are the best, my friend. You will be remembered for many years to come if it is not for a lifetime.

Kent, I wish you and your family a happy holiday and a happy new year. Best of luck on your journey and happiness. Just remember that wherever you are, you will be thought of.

Of course, you Know what I mean

I can hardly wait to join the ranks of those who have gone.

You were one of the first to post to my threads, and have put in your two cents from time to time. You've been a great help to me, and I thank you.

Hope you have a great life, and a great R.

Your friend,
Andy

Kent,

Your insight will be greatly missed.
You were one of the first to welcome me.

(If you get a chance could you leave me some parting words of advice?)

May you and your family be blessed!

Kent,

You have made a huge difference to so many of us here, and most importantly in your own family's life. Be so very proud. Thank you doesn't even come close, but I say it anyway.

All the best, my friend,

Hi Kent,

I'm happy that you are where you want to be - you deserve all the best...

'Thank you' will never be enough to express my gratitude for all you've done and all that you've helped me see about myself and my M.

Take care of you-

L

Thank you Kent.
Thank you for you help.
Thank you for picking me up when I was down.
Thank you for empathizing when I was pissed.
Thank you for kicking me in the pants when I needed it.

Thank you for teaching me about Staying the Course.

Best wishes.

Have a beautiful life.

Dear Kent,

Here's a few results that your words (and those of others here) have had on me:

1. You made me think!
2. You helped me calm down (very important!)
3. You gave me confidence.
4. You showed me how to look at my situation from a different perspective.
5. You lifted me up and gave me very comforting, sweet reminders of my worth.
6. You helped me be "practical" and solution focused.
7. You made me laugh.
8. You made me cry with realizations derived from your words and by just feeling touched.
9. You helped me see how humans (even me!) could survive this, worst of nightmares, and truly make a happy marriage.
10. You helped me learn how to look only to myself for change and lasting, real happiness.

I could go on....Thanks, Kent, and all the other folks who've helped me. Thanks Michele, for wise words and especially for creating this opportunity.

With your departure Kent, I'm going to officially graduate myself from alottolearn to learning2 because, I'm happy to report, I've earned it! (with lots of help from all kinds of helpers) and it's easier to type .

I wish you, your wife and all your loved ones overflowing wellness in every form possible .

L2 AKA ALTL
