One year later

[Dako]

A year ago tonight I was in shock after getting dumped, and was busily planning a tidy exit from life by my own hand. My plans fell apart. The next morning I was locked in a nuthouse with severely impaired people watching the same 9-11 story you'll see rehashed tomorrow.

 

A year later, I'm stronger and in some ways even happier, thanks to a number of good people, many of them on this forum. You know who you are.

 

Thanks all. You've been wonderful.

The world is a better place because you are in it.

Glad you're better man, you've given a lot to us as well...

[ElektraHere]

I am so glad to have you in my life. You make me smile when I see your name with it's little plus sign show up.

 

This swan is pretty lucky to know you!!!

You're a great person and deserve the best. You've given a lot of us on here hope and inspiration.

 

Keep up the good work and good luck always.

Dako,

 

You've surely come a long ways. Great to see a story like yours.

 

Your wisdom you share with all of us here = priceless. Thank YOU.

Hey man. Good job.

My own initials, though faded with time, can be found on the proverbial rubber wall for that same reason. I'm so glad that we both made it through. In that spirit I'd like to wish you a very happy anniversary of a very unhappy day.

Dako,

 

I'm glad you didn't succeed at your mission a year ago.

 

You had a character building year. Hopefully this next year is one of celebration and joy.

Dako, your ex's loss is our gain, lol. Don't know if that helps. But I selfishly can't help but think that!

 

Seriously, you've accomplished a great deal this year, taken the hugest risk of all: get on with living when your immediate life crashes all around you.

 

I hope you realize how much tremendous character and courage that called for. You should be proud of having such virtues, friend. They're rare.

[Orlander]

Dako, seriously...I'm having a drink tonight and toasting to you. Around 10pm Eastern tonight listen for a "TO DAKO!!!!"

Dako, I remember when you first came here. You have come a long way since then. You are an asset to this site and I am glad you have come out of the woods...

 

Here is to you....

Happy anniversary, Dako! It's good to see someone actually moves on after such a tragedy. I hope I could say same thing on my first anniversary from the breakup, which is far ahead.

[ElektraHere]

Happy Anniversary to you.

 

I grab my coat, tip my hat and bid you adieu my friend.

 

Be Well.

Has it really been over a year?

 

I remember when you first came to this forum, and lightheartedly told your dark story.

 

You have come such a long way, Dako.

I'm glad to have met you.
