My heart has joined the thousands, for my friend stopped running today Favorite quote from Watership Down, what is said when someone passes. John, the friend I never met, founded this website that maybe saved my life, it sure as heck saved my sanity. I imagine God welcoming him with open arms and a you done good son, come on home. Thank you John, you founded a website forum where anyone seeking relief could come and recover through reading, sharing, listening and helping. I think of the shape I was in when I first joined likened to Humpty Dumpty after hed taken his fall. I know that every day new people arrive at the site and begin the same slow painful process of climbing out of the abyss. I have witnessed broken people putting themselves back together and becoming stronger in the broken places; I was one of them. Goodbye John, and Thank You!
