A couple of thoughts come to me after listening to that wonderful piece of work...

First one is that I hope you understand, my dear buddy, how very much you are loved by so many friends, and what an incredible blow it would be to us if you left us. Having suffered a few losses of dreams precious myself, I understand how easy it is to slip into that area where we forget that we are loved and valued by others. Your life is certainly your own, but your actions (such as considering to leave) will impact others. In the end you make your own choices, but don't delude yourself that they only affect you. Those of us that know you, whether 3D or virtually, love you and need you and your influence in our lives.

The next is one is the reminder of the importance of life partners, true loves, the soul mate for whom you know that you have been created to know. Not everyone is so lucky as to find this person at exactly the right time. You were, you old coot, so count your blessings....... or you will end up in the cellar. Jacqui is that pearl of great worth, and I love her and how she came through in this interview.

When next we are together, I will sing "Rose of Allendale" for you, along with "His English Rose". I doubt I can do it the justice you would, but I will make a solid run at it.

Never doubt for a moment the amount of love there is out there, and how necessary you are to all of us.
