Dear friends and forum members,

The other day I participated in a thread that somehow went into the "why the old hands stop posting, and live the forum." I said something about "I am here to help those coming behind," and well that lead me to a few days of introspection on where I am, where I have been, and where I am going"

I, first and foremost would like thank Susan -and the other great folks to runs this forum- for the help extended and for tolerating my somehow "corrosive" posting...

I escaped some of the hardships others face when transitioning...I kept my house, my children, and my job...and despite my deep voice I live a full life without the thought of "passing" coming to bear in my daily life.

I am not complete...there is always something else needed or wanted... but I will get there...


The funny thing is that I cannot tell exactly why I decided to live the forum but it feel the right thing to do at this time...

I live the forum with great admiration and respect for many of you, I live the forum in humbleness and with extreme gratitude.....I live the forum wishing you all success, happiness, health, and love


Farewell brothers and sisters...


Peky

I couldn't have said it better myself.

Thank you, Peky, and farewell. 

I always enjoyed your posts, made me think sometimes. Best wishes to you and your journey! May I suggest not deleting your account, that way it's still here when/if you need it?



*hugs*

Goodbye Peky I've enjoyed your posts. I wish you best of luck with the rest of your life. Personally I don't think you should delete your account. You never know you might like to drop by again sometime and say hello. 

Peky, you always have an interesting slant & appreciate your pov. Hey, don't worry about the low voice, I have three other sisters friends in my city  in transition that haven't changed their voices, I'm the same & not sure I can do the voice. Have many Happy & healthy years of womanhood. I still think you look like Heather Locklear behind that avatar lol
Hugs

Peky,

You will be missed.

Be well and be safe.

E.

I will miss you,I always enjoyed your posts.Good luck and best wishes

Fair winds and a following sea, Peky.  I hope your journey onward is an enjoyable one.

Peky, we had nice little talks on the forum under my old account name. I left, and now im back. Maybe you too will return one day.
All the best in all your future endeavors. I'd wish you good luck but I doubt you'll be needing any!

I wish you would stay! 

But if not ...

mucha felicidad

May the forces of evil become confused on the way to your house!

In seriousness, I'll miss reading your posts.  All the best and take care.

Ciao bella 

Peky,

You probably haven't seen any of my posts but I have seen your's. I've been a long time lurker and your posts have been very insightful and inspirational and have helped me through my transition more than you'll ever know. Thanks for all that you've shared and I hope the rest of your life is full happiness, wherever it may lead.

*BIG HUGS*

We're always sad to loose a sister, but if it's because you don't need this forum anymore, that sounds like a good sign and thus we should be happy about it.

Kia Ora Peky,

Goodbye (lehitraot להתראות) and Good luck (behatslacha בהצלחה)

Or should I say "You'll be back!"

Peky, I want to wish you the best. You offered a lot to Susan's and you shall be missed.
And as others have said dont delete your account, You may want to come back.

Hugs

Hi, All,

In my old age I have become less stubborn and I had learn to listen the advice of others, so I am login off but I will not delete my account.

Thanks to you all Ladies and Gents for posting in this my last thread (at least for a while)

Good night folks!

Pecky,
Every post I have read from you I have enjoyed except because it was right and sometimes, made the point with humor.  I have always appreciated your insight, your humor and your intent to help.  There was one that was difficult and I responded somewhat harshly.  I would ask your forgiveness.  It was uncalled for.

Your insight is still needed. Your humor is still appreciated.  I encourage you to stay and post when you can.  If you are leaving because it is just time to move on with your life, I sincerely wish you well.  I'll try to PM you if you will accept the message.
