Well...I have such mixed emotions, I am so happy for our Ms Mod,who deserves some time in the sun...at the same time, I can't help but feel a bit sad and nostalgic, remembering my first post here, I think back in 2011.. I got the welcome mat from Haunted,remember when she used to do that? And the story went on, met so many good and kind members,and clashed with others, but realizing that we are all different people with different thoughts, helped me grow too as a person..Have some friends here that are so wonderful to me,many of you have made me laugh, cry, and think about how I view the world..I know we have lots of time to discuss the end of the SKMB as it currently exists,but I was late to the announcement here and wanted to chime in..thank you all for your thoughts,the discussions,the arguments, all of it was simply joy because we rarely get to meet such a diverse group that has at least on major thing in common,and that is our love of Stephen's writing..special thanks to he and Ms Mod and our great group of moderators, whom I am sure I have caused much angst over the years.. <3
