For our friend OMC and other DUer's this Holiday season

[The Straight Story]

Just know we are thinking about you all.

While I will be busy running about with family and such tonight, I want you to know that you and others are in our thoughts here on DU.

Having friends through hard times does not make those hard times go away, but it does help to endure them. I know this first hand with the fine folks of DU. I have been through my own trials and tribulations and I am still reeling from it all - and I could always count on the folks of DU to lift me up when I was down.

You are all on my mind, and you are not alone.

You all have friends here, and you are in our hearts and minds. You are not alone.

May the civility we share this day, last through the entire next year my friends.

Peace out (and I will check back later).

Thank you all for being my friend here.

And you're a beautiful guy for sharing it with us.

Many of us are celebrating the holidays with a new empty place we have to fill with our memories.

I'd like to join you in reaching out to them with a squeeze of the hand in friendship.

I waited for it. And I'm glad I did.

We are, indeed, thinking of you.
