Those of you who know Brianna in real life and are in contact with her — whether by phone, email, IM — will probably have heard some of the reasons why she is no longer on this board.
And it is probable that rumours and whispers are swirling around and it is also probable that my name may have been mentioned in connection with the events of the past 48 hours... although none of you really know me and may never know the full story.
So, to make some peace with some of you who might feel aggrieved that your friend has gone, I am now leaving this forum. I was asked to stay, to think things over but for me and probably for the forum, this is for the best.
I haven't been here for very long, was a peripheral figure at best, but cherished the few behind-the-scenes messages with some of the people here, particularly Buffy, Steph, Tink, Julie Marie and Kate. And my special wishes go to those who's surgery may be near and three names particularly spring to mind: Katia, Melissa and debisl. Be well.
And for all of you who are in the midst of your own private storms, may the sunshine always be on your back and everywhere you go, always take the weather with you.

Laters...
Stormy
