OA, it's been a long time since I've spoken privately with you, but you continue to always be on my mind and in my prayers. I can't believe it's been almost a year already.

Yeah, its hard for me to believe it, too. Been missing you around here. Though its been a rough year, you guys have helped me alot. You wouldn't believe how I was feeling a few short weeks ago. Those few private talks we had helped me to climb out of a hole. I'll always be grateful.

However, everytime I run into a thread like this and see the Christ-like reactions and the apparent love and concern, I am reminded of why I'm here in the first place.
