Dear Friends,

Just a note to thank you all for your prayers, your inspiration and for putting up with me for as long as you have!

Every road has its end, except the road that leads to God and on which our Lord walks with us.

My active road on the Forum has come to an end - for no reason except that it has.

May God bless you and may the Most Holy Mother of God cover you with Her precious, sacred Mantle.

Forgive me a sinner, as well.

In Christ,

Alex

Dear Alex:

Allow me to reiterate what I said in our previous e-mail exchanges on this matter: do what you must but we will always look forward to your return!

It is a measure of how much we value your presence and your contribution to our "unique" Forum.

God bless you and we'll await your second, third, fourth . . . coming! wink

Amado

Mnohaja i blahaja lita, Brat' Oleksandr. You have taught me more than any other on this forum and you will always be in my prayers. There is a real brotherhood amongst us "old timers", and so keep in touch.

Spasi Khristos!!!

Its good to take a break from things. I come in and out all the time with no particular agenda. I'll give some advice from the former basketball coach, Jimmy Valvano with an Orthodox twist, if you can laugh each day, cry each day and pray each day, that's a good day.

God Bless!

If you return or not - you are always remembered.
