I truly, and from the deepest reaches of my heart, thank all of you for your prayers and support...it was and IS much, much appreciated.

*Sigh* I just got back from the funeral...death is just so hard...especially when someone dies who is younger than you and leaves behind a young wife with young children. I have a hard time with funerals. I don't like the vibrations/smell/sense of death...I don't like hospitals for that reason either.

Thank heavens for Stardock/WINCUSTOMIZE for allowing me/us a place to upload our work...sometimes done with furious emotions...sometimes done to take our minds off of "other things" going on and of course...sometimes just to be creative and inventive and get feedback. It has been helpful for me to work on something to take my mind off of the sadness. Art can be helpful in not just distracting oneself from pain but also facing it head-on and confronting it in a way that is at least positive and constructive and ultimately creative.

My heart will get over this heavy feeling...and I am so thankful for so many folks here with such wonderful, loving and kind spirits, it makes my heart overflow with hope and happiness for humanity as a whole...

Love and (((HUGS)))

P.S. There are ways of saying things...to all people...whether it be constructive criticism or a reprimand or even just a thought off the top of your head in response to something said that can be eloquently put with grace and compassion and forethought for the person intended rather than being harsh, and cold and heartless. If one says something with a 'superior' air almost to the point of hostility where none was needed...it is rather sad on a 'human' level. And last I checked, I'm pretty sure we here at WC are all 'humans' with genuine frailties and human emotions and NOT A.L.I.C.E chat-bots with superficial emotions and Artificial intelligence.

I am not just a username...I am not just a customer...I am not just a contributor...I am a human being...and so are you...so are WE

Angel_Wings hugs Gadget Girl...

It's been a hard few weeks, Gadge...thank you for your kindness and support.

Angel_Wings (((HUGS))) Snarf...and reminds him that it takes a lot to burn/drown/kill Shmoopy

Angel_Wings giggles with gadge...hehe Yeah...Shmoopy can be a smart arse.

bordfryr123, you are a sweetheart as always. I never grew up with a dad either, my dad never even paid child support or sent me a single birthday or christams card.... I know for a boy it is harder though because a daddy figure to a boy is as important as a mommy figure to a girl.

Gadget Girl agrees with snarph

Green Armani remembers Shmoopy's quiche......

I'm terribly sorry to hear the tradegy amongst your family, the boys will in my prayers as well as your family.

Take care, Schmoopy*, you're a strong person and you'll get through this....

My older brother recently hung himself during an extremely nasty divorce.... his only note was where to locate his work tools.. I feel so sorry for his son who found my brother after several days only to discover this lame note also....
He had to convince the Police to break into the place and that wasn't easy.....

Best wishes and thoughts to you always.

Deepest sympathy's

Everyone is doing much better and again thank you all for your support and kindness... The healing/grief process takes time and everyone should be allowed to get through it at their own pace.

Angel_Wings just tries to keep thinking positive...and the kind thoughts and well wishes truly help in making that possible.

People all suffer some sadness at some point in their lives unless they live in a plastic bubble...which is why we can identify and empathize with each other and try to help where we can if only to say "You'll be okay" etc.

And I ain't EVEN steppin' NEAR that war thread!

Angel_Wings is staying away from the news too for now

Off to work on an Easter cursor that Keila suggested I do.

(((HUGS))) To all who need one (I've got a cold so I'll keep ya at fooball field length)!

Angel_Wings !

P.S. And anyone else who needs to hear it, "You'll be okay. One step at a time."

hell with hell, you put everyone left behind in a hell of your own making....

being dead is easy...

anyway...
