Oh my goodness Onyx, you are a very important person on Free Republic! Your presence on Free Republic every single day of the year is greatly needed!
When you were worried about Dr. O, I and every single FReeper, said prayers for you and Dr. O. When you shared the passing of your dear husband, again, I and every single FReeper said prayers for you and your dear family and we continue to grieve with you!
When you're away Onyx, you're missed terribly by all FReepers, including the original FReeper himself, Jim Robinson!
All of the above is why I am very sorry if somehow my post came across that you were not missed very, very much while you were busy taking care of Dr. O, or that you were not very much wanted front and center of Free Republic as always.
God Bless you dear Onyx and as I posted earlier, welcome back!
Everyone deals with grief differently. Onyx needs to be here with those that love her. She really wasn’t offended and she needs her FR family I think. This is home.
