Now I get it.


I am not sure why I didn't get it before, I used to have many friends on GLP, then I left for a few years. Since I started coming back again, rather than find the community again, I allowed a few represent the many and fulfilled my lowest expectations of the world, and the community.


What a gift she gave to all of you, what a gift you gave to her. I am about to cry again. Without even realizing it you have all given me a gift.

I often wondered over the last few months about the unfortunate timing of her post. How anyone would even read it with so much happening ...I was looking for hope, strength, guidance something to remind me why I cared even about humanity. Little did I know in my cynical, jaded brain that here, hidden in this little thread...was the hope, acceptance, strength, love, and wisdom I have been searching for and never finding. The guidance. A gift. She wasn't looking for attention and all of the things I assumed... she was giving us a gift by simply sharing herself and her thoughts. I am sure most of you know this already... I just realized today, please excuse my intrusion, and please accept it.

I am sorry to see that this beautiful human passed, but what a gift she left us.

I am inspired, moved, and changed by what I read here this morning.

How could I forget that people don't always post threads for attention, pity, trickery...

For all of the mean spirited, negative energy that I find on GLP ...this beautiful human who I never met, and never spoke to chose to share this intimate time in her life with her friends on GLP... with strangers as well. I am sure I am not the only person who waited until now to finally read this thread. I did not remember that although there are so many trolls and mean people out there, there are beautiful people.. I can't recall a time I felt such energy in a thread.

Sending love and thoughts toward her beautiful family who also brought tears to my eyes as I pictured their kind gestures of love and appreciation. That says so much about Monkey Flower in itself.

This small thread, on a smallish forum, renewed my soul. Thank you all for being you.

How wrong I was to be afraid to see the trolls here, mean comments, and whatever else I thought was actually going on in here. Not only was I wrong, I couldn't have been MORE wrong.

My heart is filled...I am not sure how to feel about this emotion I am experiencing. Whatever I thought I knew about the world, about GLP... I am reminded again who I am and how beautiful humanity can be.

some people get more peace through GLP at the end of their lives than a lot of others get in their real life.

how valuable.

May she lay in peace and rest while we wait on the Coming of The Lord! God Bless you Monkey Flower!

That is beautiful,Theobromine.

What a generous gift she gave GlP. I am so grateful
to have met her. She loved the caption threads.

Rest in peace beautiful one. She would love this
kitty picture.

Just a week or so ago I posted a comment about someone I know going through similar circumstances. Gayle sent me a PM and her phone #.

Even as she was so close to the end of her life.. she was completely loving, wanting to reach out to help others. Our loss is Heaven's gain.




You were lady

Rest in Peace and see you on the other side. <3

My heart is melting. Thank you for sharing that beautiful story.

I have checked this thread almost daily. I have enjoyed the music, photos and Caturday, but most of all, it was the honesty of her journey that kept me coming back. I have learned so much about life and death and the need for deep compassion as we exit this dimension. I think of all of the people who have died alone, without someone to ease their pain in their final days and my heart hurt. I think this thread is a timely lesson for us. Things will be very different and TBTB want to destroy us. We must have love and compassion for our brothers and sisters, regardless of their politics and religious preferences. We must be more godlike in our actions and live our spiritual truth.

RIP, monkeyflower. Namaste.

I will miss our talks.

Dear monkeyflower-family and whoever may read this,

pls accept my condolonces. She was a great person with a strong character to share a part of her journey. I was afraid of the day when the threadtitle would change and now it has come.

Pls carry her love on

I wish you all the best monkeyflower wherever you are!

Reading what I believe to be her last post brings me peace to know that she was filled with love and joy to the end. I pray everyone here feels the same when our last hour comes. RIP Miss MonkeyFlower.
