This is not one of the easiest things that I have penned

It actually is reminiscent of that bad year

Some of you who were around then may remember

13 dead in one year...

Saying goodbye took such a toll on me

Spiritually

Mentally

Emotionally

And as with this goodbye

So much of me is held herein

So many sleepless nights surrounded by my thoughts and memories

All merging and crashing and dancing through my head

Knowing that there would always be someone here to talk to me!!!

And with that being said...

This really is goodbye

Bitter yet sweet

I have come further I could ever have imagined
With your encouragement and support

I have tapped into a version of me that never could have been were it not for you...

This series certainly would never have been without you

Thank you so very much

This series will be no more

It may soon be totally forgotten

But my memory will last beyond it's end

Thank you

Very much

Goodbye...
