What's With the Thread Necromancy Lately?

@ Bootlegbonvivant, sorry to hear this.
RIP.

@bootlegbonvivant: I didn't know and I'm sorry to learn this, and for your loss. As a lurker here for more years than I would like to admit, there've been many voices at this bulletin board that I've missed, and Cyndi's been one of them.
I'd noticed a few old threads popping up recently. I like old threads popping up. As I get older, I find I enjoy the occasional rerun (in this case, particularly because real people are behind it all). It's like watching old home movies of parties on the VHS.
The thread did answer the OP's question ... ::

I like the folks who are here, now, though ... :wink:

That is remarkable, bootlegbonvivant. I am sorry to hear of this. I'll have a bowl in her memory tonight for you. At least her posts here live on.

@ Bootlegbonvivant, I am so very sorry to hear about the passing of your wife, my Condolences.

 

[loneredtree]

I have missed both of you on this site. I am truly sadden by your news.

 

[iowamike]

My condolences.

Sorry for your loss. I've had days where the reminder of a loss is a punch to the guts and other days that same reminder is a great source of joy.

These older posts are full of great info, and I find it amusing to see how long some topics lay dormant until being revived.

Bootleg, I'm really sorry to hear that news, brother.

My deepest sympathies to you and your family.

 

[ssjones]

Wow, that is sad news, she seemed like a one-of-a-kind gal.

Condolences.

boot', you have a great attitude, sustaining all the good memories and feelings. We're lucky who've had good partners, even when they leave too soon. I lost my late wife in 2000, and it was an unusually long process to get through it, though I just kept working, doing some traveling for work and for recreation. Eventually, I heard from a long-time friend I'd met when I was 19, and in 2010 we were married. It took me a long time, and I had some unhappy relationships with some really good women, but I wasn't ready, and neither were they. With two intense and fascinating women as wives, I feel lucky in love -- no regrets. Take your time.

Bootleg, I have missed you and your wife. I was sad when y'all fell off. Sorry, words are not coming forth to express my sorrow for you and your family.

I also want to add my condolences.

Bootlegbonvivant, sorry to of your —and our— loss. Best wishes,
John

Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I have been immensely blessed with our marriage and family. My family and Cyndi's family has kept me moving in so many ways I never thought possible. Without that support, I don't think I'd be doing as well as I am. Plus, I still have to keep up with those 3 kids, lol.
It's good to see some of y'all from when we were active here. I plan to be around to some degree.

Sorry for your loss.
She sounded like a special person.
