Wow Pix you took lots of pics too -Woot!
I have 46 total to go through, so many funny moments!
I will try to add some pics here and Pix, you should feel free to also!
King is now fast asleep, but I don't think I have seen him smile and laugh so much in a long time! It was soooo great to see so many friends together, laughing and just having fun. Reminded us of the reason we loved VMK and now love VFK and NoBS - we are so very blessed to have the most wonderful, loving, and hysterical friends. As we logged off tonight, we were just filled to overflowing with thankfulness for all of our friends here on NoBS, VMK, and VFK. We may all be miles apart, but tonight it felt like you were all sitting right here with us, enjoying time together. (Of course, if you were really sitting here - you'd have to smell the real stuff)
Even though I am able to do a little more now than I have since first getting sick, our life is often limited because of things I can't do or places I can't go. When we are together with all of you, those limitations evaporate and you all bring such joy to our lives. We may have all met as avatars, but the friendships we share are very, very real! I wish I could express in words what tonight meant to King and to myself, but words could never do justice to the joy we felt seeing everyone tonight. King's real birthday yesterday was filled with work, helping my mom get released from the hospital and settled in at home, and helping me clean up after a sweet little Princess Red who had a little stomach flu she picked up at the hospital. Not much fun cleaning up after a sick kid on your birthday or helping your mother-in-law to the toilet.
Yet, he did it all without complaint. So, we celebrated here today and then tonight with all of you - and what fun it was!
Thanks to everyone who dropped in.
I know many people could not stay long due to the lag and we missed a few of you who couldn't make it due to other things. Thanks to you for the kind messages and even the gifts you sent to King. Tonight just reminded us how many special people we have met here on NoBS and through the games we all play together. Hugs to you all and thank you from the bottom of my heart!
I am off to get some rest and will try to post pics tomorrow!
