General discussions : Non mobile discussion : farewell and goodbye - until the next life.
3 months ago, in fact a day after my 50th birthday, I was told I had terminal cancer. I went through the usual phases of disbelief, rejection, fear, anger etc that my councillor talked me through but that didn't make acceptance any easier. Some have noticed me posting less and less. Now I have finally accepted my fate and will be heading back to oz soon to die in the sun and surf that I know so well.
Sadly, against my normal calm and peaceful nature, I have been quite bitter lately and have taken that out on family, friends, and even some members here. For that, I appologise to all unresevedly.
I don't know how much time I have (do any of us really know?), but I do feel that I must make the most of what I do have and unfortunately Esato does not feature in my priorities.
so now on this sunny Sunday London afternoon in February 2012 I say goodbye to Esato and commit online hari-kari (self ban)... and if I can offer anything of meaning and importance to you all, the best I can come up with is that it has been fun!... live long and prosper!
Nan, Grandad... I'm scared but I am comforted that I will see you both soon!
All I can say is thank you for all the work here and hope you have peaceful last days.
It certainly has been fun masseur and this place would undeniably never have been the same without you. I have lost close family and friends through cancer but what I remember is the great times we had together.
You will certainly not be forgotten, not by anyone who has visited Esato.
Farewell - till we all meet again.
Sadly we often forgot that have to live our lives like we wont be here for long... and actually we never know how much longer we`ll be here. So as I`m extreamly sad to hear this news, even though we don`t know us personally I wish you to have the life you always dream of, to do the things you always want and maybe fear to do, to let your beloved persons how much they mean to you ... and to be satisfied!!!
Thanks, masseur, for posting this here, giving us the opportunity to say something, even though it's hard.
Thank you for the effort you've put in keeping Esato the way it is, which is why many of us enjoy coming here, even long after we've switched away from SE to other brands. For many years you've managed to do this on your own, being the only active mod, before tranced joined you.
I sincerely hope your condition will allow you, to make the most of the time you've left, together with your wife, son, daughter, family and friends.
Farewell, we won't forget you.
Material things don't matter,but Rock n Roll does!!!!
I can't find a way to tell what I'm feeling right now. This feeling has got all over me and the tears are the only way to let you know.
It was really fun to have you with us and all I can wish you is to spend the time you have left in peace. Surrounded by the ones who care about you and like wise.
I will miss you a lot. My prayers will be with you.
I am so shocked to hear this. Esato is like my family and you are one of the chief and important part of my this family. I cant think Esato without you. I always loved you and continue to love you. I am writing these with heavy heart and kinda pain in my mind. My eyes have tears. I love you. Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you did for Esato and for us. Thank you is such a small word to express our feelings for you. ( i am all chocked up) This is like loosing one of family member.
It was a very long time ago since I posted here. Kind of drifted off as I have been using non-SE phones for a while.
But coming back and reading this is very sad. Like a very hard slap in the face.
None of us know what fate has in store for us. For some, the end comes very suddenly. For others, this comes announced in advance. I don't know if either is better. Perhaps to know when it is going to happen is best, as it gives a chance to put affairs in order.
