A msg. from NSDF..I'm FINE (really), but...

[NeverSayDieFan]

I guess the D.D. leaving-thing got me thinking today...

One of the constants in life is "change." Each day brings us wonderful moments of joy as well as possibly having to deal with some very tough situations. I can share with you that I hope to get to AZ. one day to take in a game with all of you in the "nest." To be part of the "Red Sea"...Loud & Proud! But, time will tell if I actually get to do that.

Soooooooooooooo, I wanted to take a moment to say to each one of you how much I appreciate YOU and this board. I can't remember the last time I missed a day of getting my Cardinal "news" or just seeing how everyone is doing.

But, I also know that one day I will NOT be here and because of that I was NOT going to miss the chance, while I still have it, to say a proper "good-bye."

I sincerely hope that you live your lives to the fullest...ENJOY each and every moment...and...make a difference.

I DON'T believe God makes "junk"
...and I DON"T believe in "lost causes", either.

So, from the heart,

ALL THE BEST, my Cardinal friends!

Bless you NSDF. Great message to share.

Albeit cryptic..

It sounds like you're dealing with something major. I don't know details, and don't need to know. But as you go on this journey, know that your friends, and family, all love you. May He take you up when the time is right and may He comfort all those you leave behind.

I'm FINE...REALLY!

APPRECIATE the kind words. I just know that sometimes people go "missing" on here and then we later learn that, sadly, they're gone. I just wanted to say how I feel while I still could.

Okay! Back to BASK-ing in the 75 degree S.C. Sun.
Course, it's going to be 40 degrees this week-end! UGH!

NeverSayDieFan, I appreciate you as a member of the Cardinals family and as that, a friend as well. Your participation makes the Cardinals forum special. I will be looking forward to future posts.

Beautiful message, Mark! Even though we have never met in person, I consider you one of my favorite people and best friends. You, sir, are a breath of fresh air and, of course, Carolina pine! Hope to be with you every step of the way this season. All the best, pal! Mitch

Mark, you have always been kind and considerate. You truly do live life by the 'Golden Rule', "doing unto others as you would have them do to you". You are one of the most genuinely caring persons I know, and I am truly proud to know you!

The feeling is mutual NSDF... Go Big Red!

Even thought there is nothing imminent with NSDF, there is no better response than the post by iRobot.

Mark, thanks for a great post and such an important reminder about perspective. You always seem to have a knack for bringing clarity and proper perspective in the midst of chaos and emotion. Appreciate you a great deal for that! I hope and pray that it's in God's plans to have you with us when our Cards finally hoist a Lombardi trophy...for that matter, I hope it's in His plans to have us all here on that special day!
Many blessings brother...

 

[oaken1]

always best to say it before you can't. You are one of many on this board who have been a joy to read over the years....Know that in the event it is me who disappears first,...I feel the same way.

Until then....let's keep hunting that trophy

If you get there, and it's Comcast... You'll know you didn't quite make the cut.
