@NateWorthington Nate, we’ve never formally interacted but I’ve always enjoyed your posts and found comfort in some of them. Do what’s best for you, but know you’ll be missed. It is a cesspool at times.
@neorsd I’ve actually called more than once, but I can’t bring myself to leave a reply. What else is there to say? It was done perfectly. You’re the definition of public service.
@UjuAnya Yes, more than once. I was also in the middle of a romantic encounter and my partner made an incredibly hurtful comment about my body. And I didn’t get up and leave. I still feel awful about both and the fact I allowed both times to continue.
@Andy35o When my dad was suffering from brain cancer, my mom asked church leaders why this happened. Most of their responses were platitudes. One response that meant the most to me was “I honestly don’t know why, but know that God is with you and so are we.”
