To all my friends that I have made on here, and to all those that have helped me in so many ways, I am writing you all today to bid you farewell.<P>I have come to realize that it is time for Drew to move on with life now. Sorry if it seems like I am jumping ship here, but it just feels like it is time for me to move on with my life.<P>Have come to realize that I am no longer "marriage building" as my divorce is very much in the process and after September is over I will be officially single.<P>I have decided that I will be moving from Omaha, and heading west. Will have a great group of friends there that I have known and have met along the way from years past! It was very nice to travel out west last weekend, and really connect with these people.<P>I can truly say that the values, views and experiences I have had and received from this forum has really helped me move my life forward.<P>It is just hard at times for me to see new people come online, and tell their stories as it strikes up my feelings again, and I am ready to move on now.<P>Some of the views I have NOT agreed with, but even those that I haven't agreed with have been a helpful step for me. We all have our right to our feelings and opinions and I respect you all not matter what we've talked about and shared on here, whether it was a battle of words or a good word, I respect you all!<P>Those of you that do have my email address please feel free to email me at anytime. But as I said it is time for Drew to make a change.<P>May God Bless you all, may you all find GREAT happiness again, and I will forever appreciate what I have learned from this site and apply it to a new relationship down the road.<P>Drew

You low-down, dirty, little sneaky snake and scoundrel. You can't leave us unless you do it like Tim and TS did. They went away for a short while and came back. <P>Hey, you don't walk out on your friends just because........<P>But, it is your life and you can do this if you wish. But, if you do it, we won't necessarily be here to comfort you the next time or to cheer you on. We might find other smooth talkers.<P>Besides, I came to this site way after my divorce was final. And I'm still working out kinks in my life. You know, you might still need us. If nothing else, we might help keep you grounded.<P>Think about it, oh thou fair Prince of Smooth Talk. If you leave, we might have to refer to you as PST instead of MST.

Drew...<P>Happened to see this post, tho I don't lurk on this section a lot. Sorry to see that your marriage seems headed for the final count. You are a great person, and I enjoyed our online exchanges and your perspective. Good luck in your new life..<P>Kathi

Thanks Jane and Kathi,<P>I may stop in here and there, but right now it just feels like the thing I need to do!<P>The next month is going to be very busy for me, and I just am "tired" I guess you can say. Healthy and upbeat, but tired and really need a break I think<P>You ALL are my friends, and have developed a WONDERFUL appreciation for you all! I guess the word NEVER isn't in my vocabulary, I will check in possibly from time to time, as I am now, but want to say thanks again to ALL of you! I feel very good about this move out west and Need to refocus too. Maybe after I get settled I will comeback with my boyish grin and party with ya all from time to time.<P>Guess Farewell was harsh, but I do need SOME distance right now to get resituated again!<P>Well be off and on the next week, but after that I will just be checking in from time to time<P>You two take great care. haven't COMPLETELY ruled out Nashville, will just see what life holds come January.<P>Jane please email me once in awhile to keep me posted about this event will you<P>Drew

Drew! You can't just up and leave like this!!! <P>If you need time and space, that's fine. But don't completely leave us. We'll miss you!!<P>You have my email address! Don't be afraid to use it!<P>(((((HUGS)))))<BR>Mitzi

{{{{{{{DREW}}}}}}<P>Seems like you just got here and your leaving far too soon. You have a lot to offer and I hate to see you go.<P>Don't be afraid to lurk and check up on your old friends. We'd like to hear your updates too, although you have my email address for that and know how to reach me.<P>Good luck with everything and don't forget about Nashville just yet. If your "taken" at that time, bring her along, a lot can change for many of us between now and then and I hate to see you not show up.<P>Good luck with the relocation and new life ahead.<P>Dana<BR>
