hello

I am back from one of the most interesting times in my life. The show ended today and so did my 5 year relationship. Eric walked out on me. Said he wasn't happy anymore. I asked if it was because of the WLS and he said "no". I remember him reassuring me that when I lost weight he waould still be there. Oh well. I am single and I am feeling free. Love to all. I have missed you all so much. It has been the fastest month in my life. David

DAVID, Welcome back! Glad to hear the show went well but sorry to hear about Eric. It is never easy to end a relationship no matter what. I'm glad you are feeling free and ready to move on. Keep that focus during the down times. I know too well you'll have them and when you do please don't hesitate to reach out. I'm was so inspired by your up coming AIDS ride that I recently took my bike to get it repaired. As soon as the weather gets nicer here in Philadelphia, I'm going to begin my Sunday rides again. I took a ride on Heath's bike at our house on *****oteague Island last weekend when I was down and it felt so good to be back in the saddle. I have to tell you the seat is a killer. I need to build up my "bike butt". Who knows if I can get used to riding long distances again maybe we'll come out and ride in the AIDS ride along with you. Chip

Welcome back we have missed you, I hope you guy can work it out. 5 years is a long time. I do hope everything works out for you.

Hi David, It sure is good to see you again. I'm sorry for the loss of your partner. You said you're feeling, "free"---that's a good place to be. Keep your chin up, honey. One day at a time. The world is a big place, and there is so much to be learned about what happened between you and your partner, and what lies ahead for you. You've done a tremendous thing; having surgery and taking back your life. Only good things lie ahead for you, David. Thank you for sharing with us. Don't be a stranger. You are among friends... Jessica

Hi David I haven't "met" you before but it's nice to have you around. Sorry to hear about your split. I did that last year after 11 years together - it hurts... take care Charlotte

David, I am sorry to hear about Eric...no chance for reconciliation? I have missed you, and I am glad you finished a successful play run! Welcome Back!!!! Maureen

Nope he is gone, finished, oh well. Everything is meant for a reason. Let's get together soon. I would love to see you. David

That is sad, but as you say, everything happens for a reason, I would absolutly love to get together soon, give me a call. xo Maureen

Hi David, So sorry to hear about your relationship ending, I know that is very difficult for you. Now that you have a new body, however, maybe it's time to start a new life! A cutie pie like you should have no problem meeting someone new after you have had some time to heal. Go out and have a good time meeting other guys. Just be careful out there! You are in my prayers. Most important of all.....have FUN!!! Rosa

Hello my beautiful angel, See I promised I would return with you. I enjoyed talking to you today, and we will have to go out for a drink so we can chat some more. Whenever you get those lonely feelings and need someone to be around you, call me and I will hang out with you. I remember the loneliness being the hardest part for me so I will be there for you. I am glad you decided to come back to the boards, as now I have to come back Love ya Neici
