I wanted to create this thread so I can spare a thought to think about members I regard as friends and hope that when if they return they will get notified here.
Mariusz
I hope you're doing ok. You are missed.
Trisha
I hope you enjoyed your last day of school, (I know I did!), and that you are chasing your dreams like you wanted to do.
Dawn
I hope you are doing well. We all miss seeing you about this place. I hope you'll return when you can.
Billy87
We all miss you and hope life is treating you kindly.
Jenny Butterfly
I haven't seen you for a while but I remember you weren't very well earlier in the year. I hope you're feeling better now and I hope you'll be back here at some point.

I hope you will get to see this, when you return. If you don't return I hope in some way you feel the message.
We're all glad you're here too.
I want to take a moment to spare a thought for SarahModwho took the time to stop and help me a few years ago when I was in a really bad place.
If you ever see this message, thank you Sarah Mod. You literally saved my life that day and I want you to know because of your kindness I am now in a much better place and happy again and enjoying life.
I won't ever forget you or how you helped me that day.
Thank you.
I hope Amerantin is OK. I know they were suffering with withdrawal effects from medication. I've been thinking about them a lot.
One of my pen pals asked for my permission about sending me a friend request on Facebook. I was happy, said yes and pleased that she asked me.
I would tend to agree. For a time we had many members joining asking people to join their social media circle. It's settled down again now it seems.
Think allie was more interested being in touch via Instagram.

I'm trying to escape from my PC and that made me stay and giggle like the mad woman locked in the attic in Jane Eyre (with whom I've always felt an affinity).

Seconded
Thin connections, that are hard to see, can be stronger and more impactful than you might expect. Think good fishing wire -v- thick, cheap rope. My "connections" are mainly rather 'other....I have to remind myself that they are real and they do matter. We're not built for "content popular types"....and that's just fine!

Watcha mate! You HAVE been missed...sod the fire and the embers...look at the people gathered around the fire...all smiling at you through the half light. It is sustaining Desp.
Glad to see that you are very well (from my perspective anyway.)
Hope you can spare us some company.
A happy Number.

Of course. We are friends, after all!
The world can seem a hard and discouraging place, as we know, it feels like an endless battle to be ourselves sometimes. It's very tiring.
Please know that you have friends here, DeSpereaux, I'm sure I'm not alone in missing your presence here. And even if it doesn't feel like it right now, the you that posted here is still you, it's just, sometimes it's hard to find bits of ourselves when adversity is keenly felt.
I'm ok thank you, at least I think so more or less. Fighting my way through life
I read some of the things I had written and I don’t recognise the person who wrote it, it scares me a little because it took that person to gain the concessions that I have gained, one day it will take that person to defend them and I’m not sure he’s still there..
I don’t feel connected to anything at all..
Thanks Pegg, I guess I’m doing fine, though I do feel a-little discouraged. It is encouraging that there’s a small ember out there for me and for my wellbeing.
Autism and neurology has a peripheral-quality to it at the moment, I guess the world is an endless-source of gaslighting, as the pull to my sense of inferiority is a hard-thing to find respite from. It would seem that the task of catering-to-my-difference is a daily-one that is all too-easy to neglect..
I hope you are doing well Pegg, it is very-encouraging to know that you are still carrying the fire, I appreciate you..
