This is the four year anniversary of my father passing away. We never had a close relationship. We lived across the country from each other and my step-monster made it her lifelong goal to keep us apart. Then made a goal of shutting me out and turning him against me before he died. Long, sad story.

I lost my father, a woman who was a second mother to me who I knew for 18 years, and my precious dog (who was my life) all within a little over a year. I never would've made it through without the SKMB. Thank you for being my friends.

I know I've posted this before, but life is short. Be kind. If you are wrong, admit it and make things right. If you are wronged, don't let it consume you. Try to let it go because it hurts you more than anyone else. Tell the ones you love how much they mean to you. A kind word can change lives.

DJ is right. You are living the advice you gave, and that is rare. When you leave for a time, I really miss you and am always glad to read your posts. Thanks for making this an even nicer place.

You are a bright light on these boards and thanks for reminding us that kindness is never wasted. I hope you keep finding ways to heal after your father's death. You've got a friend in me.

morgan - these are great thoughts - words to live by - I'm happy we could be here for you - this place helped me a lot too (back in 2013) to get over a rough patch.

(((((Morgan))))) I'm so sorry that you had to go through that situation. I know we haven't interacted very often, but you are one of the sweetest, most kind hearted people here, and I want you to know that my life is blessed because you are a member of our SKMB family.
Your advice is spot on. ♥

morgan-- you are and always will be part of this Ka-Tet family. When you hurt, we all hurt. To come through all the adversity, sadness and still have that wonderful outlook on life shows the type of person you are- awesome! I have seen you show only caring and kindness to others. I send you love and green lights!!

I don't want to embarrass you, but it was an act of kindness from you many years ago that changed my outlook on life. Made me want to focus more on others. I thought if someone I'd never even met in person could be so nice to me, that there was much more goodness in this world than I realized. I wanted to be like that too. You started me on a path of paying it forward that has blessed me beyond belief. Much love to you as well, my friend.
