GaiaMan, Your vision is so much clearer than our own. And your vision has hope beyond the hard times. The book you are writing (your own book) is full of goodness from the many times you extend help to others. Even your words in writing give calm in the middle of the storm. I do not look forward to the day when you write that last entry in the thread, "The Time has come". If the board is still open, I know the words you have written will be read over and over because they carry your good intentions and hope beyond the tragedy of the moment. In this way, you generously give calm and comfort by your posts. You must know this.

Many of the worst visions you wrote about are still ahead. If it can be possible, please stay with this thread. Even a short post from you gives hope to many. Thank you for all that you have given to your readers and of yourself.
