Good luck, and I hope you can resolve everything.

Letting people free when you love them is harder than I thought... I'm sure you know that better than me, due to age. But I don't think it ever gets easier.

Looking forward to a return

Oh my ... Rich, I'm sorry things have become this way for you online and off. You don't deserve it. Thanks for the PM, you know I know how trying it is on the old Patience Quota around here sometime I understand. Now don't slam the door, just give it a gentle pull so it comes just-to in the frame and the bolt doesn't slam into the lock. Because you know we are open 24/7/365 here

Rich, I hate to hear this. I had no idea that you were having any kind of problem that would lead to such a measure. I'm so sorry. Maybe you'll feel better in the morning or by afternoon. Maybe your wife will fix you a special supper and then you'll miss us too much to stay away. Surely you'll need to log on before you can get to sleep tomorrow night. I know I'm being selfish, I'm sorry. What will we do with out the AAA stories and the word on your family. I'm sure there is more to your decision than what I know- which is absolutely nothing by the way, so I'll shut up and respect your decision, but I don't want to. Again, I'm sorry and I don't like this - not one single bit!

Best of luck to you friend.

I will miss reading all of your stories. I will also most definitely be patiently waiting for your return. Good luck with all that you need to take care of now.

We don't know each other very well but you left sweet comments on my bloggy. I hope you'll be ok. Take your time and do what feels right to you.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear you feel this way. I guess sometimes we all need to take a break, but I hope you'll be back soon, and feeling better. My best wishes - Fifth

Come back shortly Rich. You'll be missed.

Well, shoot, I was just getting to know you. Do come back soon.

I understand - this place can get overwhelming, and take up a great deal of time. I just logged on today after five days and haven't been to the blogs in - well, months. Take care. We'll be here when you come back. God Bless.

Please dont stay away too long rich! We will miss you and your blog. Take care of yourself please. La gra, Niamh

Josh Rich, I hate that you'll not be here every time I have a minute to log on and read your blog...it's the first one I check out when I do get on here. I'll miss you. Hope you won't be gone long.

Take care of yourself, RIch. I'm going through the same. Please please, come back as soon as you are able. Love, M

Take care of yourself, RIch. I'm going through the same, somewhat. Keep up courage; God is a constant help in time of trouble. Please please, come back as soon as you are able. By the way, if you like, drop me a line at either (510)259-0110 or email me at [email protected]. Please don't worry that you've offended me in any way, you haven't, you won't, and I love you very much.

Dear Rich: You will be deeply missed here at LitNet, by me personally, but also by the site as a whole. You have always had a cheerful and encouraging word for folks when they needed it most. Your level head and great wit have always been a source of inspiration for me. I wish your leave of absence did not have to come, but of course, I can respect your wishes and only hope for the best to you -- both in your personal life, as well as your time here at LitNet. I do hope that the break you seek won't be a long one, you are one of a kind, Rich. I mean that most sincerely. Take care of mrs.mtpspur and all those you love, and you will be in my thoughts. Love always, Karen

I've been very out of touch my friend, but I hope you will still call to chat. I'm sorry I've not been around much, but give me a yell if you need to. I hope things will start to sort themselves out soon and you'll be back here as well. I've at least been trying to read you blog when I get the chance. You've not been forgotten here. Love, Meg
