I haven't visited these forums in about 5 years but I still remember TH fondly.
We had great fun in Buffy, one of my first games on the piano way back where we had BTSC. I also remember hosting a game with them.
I will remember his great sense of humor and his writing ability.

Of course, my dude. Don't EVER think otherwise.

LC!! So good to see you! It's been a lifetime and a half. How are you?

And is the LP forum really gone for good? Would have loved to peruse some classic threads. I'm still in the Facebook group, that's how I heard about Turnip

They were kind, they were sweet, they were loving. They were generous, there were caring, they were forgiving. They always saw the best in other people, always ready to give others the benefit of the doubt and second (third, fifth, tenth....) chances no matter how much hurt they'd caused them. They were one of my best friends and we understood each other so well, felt each other's pain before either of us had spoken, and supported each other daily. We were going on road trips together and doing a big cooking extravaganza as soon as we got together post-Covid.

They were special and will always be remembered as such, they own a piece of my heart and they will have it till I die.

We kept each other sane during all the crazy pandemic with music, uplifting words, humor, and just unconditional LOVE every single day. They never judged, and loved everyone. That's all they wanted in life; to be able to be who they are and not be judged, be loved by those closest to them unconditionally because they loved back just as fiercely.

YOU ARE LOVED BY ALL OF US! CHERISHED!

I tried to remind them of that every single day, because sometimes they'd forget it and I couldn't let that pass. And they did the same for days I wasn't feeling it. And man did they make me feel special.

Well don't you dare forget it now, TH. I hope you can feel the love. And I selfishly hope you can watch over me and continue being the guardian angel you were to me all these years from above because I will continue to spread your warmth, the happiness you brought me, the lessons you taught me about forgiveness, and the love I was lucky to be swept by from you. <3

I love you forever, bestie.
