@NatureLover I'm fine .
Is your power back on?
In response to: Re: My only safe place AKA my fortress
NatureLoverSenior Contributor
Yes, the power's back on 🙂
I have been trying to think when anyone has done such kind things for me, as you did in going to the beach many times, with a lot of effort, and taking photos and videos to bring the beach to me. It's hard to think of anything, and I've been trying to think since you did it the first time.
So those beach videos are very special to me.

@NatureLover I would love to do a sunrise video but I don't think that will happen I am so not a morning person.
But I will keep thinking for something else

Oh gosh, Lee - please, you don't have to do anything else! You've done enough kind actions to last me my whole life, my dear friend!

I came up with an idea for you, but I can't follow through on it...I was going to try to get a series of pictures of people's shoes, like you wanted...but I don't think I can face going up to so many people to ask them 😞

Can I ask you something? There's no need to answer if you'd prefer not... I was wondering why you thought you being here might hurt me in any way?

@NatureLover shoes yea I still like that I idea, but I don't think I could even walk up to one person and ask them. with my anxiety and other people issues it would never happen.
To answer your question, if I was just suddenly...gone

Ahhh...I see. Thank you so much for answering that question, my dear friend, it might not have been easy to do.
I actually know that's a risk I take in trying to support you, or anyone here...that you might be suddenly gone from the forums one day. I've accepted that risk. To me it's more important to try and support you anyway, and be your friend as much as I can.
If you were suddenly gone from the forums, I would still keep wishing specific good and healing things for you, Lee, and hoping that you were OK...as OK as possible. And yes, I do know what you mean 😞
I really hope you won't stay away, as long as the forums are providing some help and support and distraction to you.

@NatureLover you're right it is a risk we all take.
But correct me if I m wrong, you and I have become close friends, I could be wrong
