[QUOTE="Kalahou, post: 766130, member: 19617"] ALOHA Leaf and Copa, dear friends, I weep to see you post again New Leaf. Both for joy at “[I]seeing” [/I] you again and for the grief of “rinse / repeat” of same and new issues. I lift Rain and Tornado in my love, thoughts, and prayers. I am following you along. Also thankful for your other ohana members who support you and bring joy. Copa, you also – always a voice of truth and clarity. Both of you were first here for me in 2015 when I first joined PE, and I felt your kindred hearts knit together with my soul. That link has sustained me over and over again, as I see you still here, and soak in your wisdom. I have seen us all grow since then / become new in many ways. We have survived (and to a point thrived) in the midst of the madness we find ourselves in.
