Aw kiddo, you have no idea how happy I am to see you around these parts again. I hope you can make it a regular thing again? I'll be bold enough to speak for all those of us that have gotten to know you through your colorful stories and innocent observations about life and the world around you and step up and say that you've been sorely missed. The spark and life you've brought to the board has been irreplaceable in your absence.
Besides that, in spite of the more than 40 years of age difference between us, you're one of the two persons I have met here that I consider "like me" in terms of our transness and that's a pretty rare thing at least as far as my experience goes and it means a lot and makes me feel not so all alone and different.
Happy holidays and happy new year. I know it's going to be great for you!
