Farewell from bernard85

Dear Friends,

Just to let you all know due to my COPD, I can no longer participate in the forum, I have enjoyed my time with you all and the many wonderful interactions I have shared with you. I wish you all well for the future.

Kind regards

For Bernard85, His Grandson Sam

 

Sam

That is a pity as I too have been suffering from COPD for the past five years and it just keeps me from being as mobile as I want to be - but if he is on Oxygen at

this time - I can well understand his feelings and enough to say that he will be missed, please ensure that he has my best respects

Cheers
Tom Canning

With my very best regards

Thanks Sam,

I enjoyed Bernard85's input. He certainly made every effort to participate on the forum during his 2-3 years as a member.

Wish him well from me.

Grandson Sam,

Please pass on to your grandfather Bernard my thanks for expressing his view of the world from down under, which often added cheer to the day.

His posts remind me of the poet E.E. Cummings, so I'll add a bit from one of his poems called : " i carry your heart with me ( i carry it in ) ", with best wishes from John papiermache.


here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

 

So sorry you are leaving the forum. We will miss you.

Diane

 

Will miss you like many here on the forum

David

 

We certainly will miss you, Bernard. I've enjoyed reading your respectful, polite replies.

 

What a shame! We will certainly miss you, Bernard - hope you aren't too poorly to read.
Thanks for lettng us know, Sam.

 

That is a real shame Bernard - The Aussie posters are now one down.

As others have said, you will be missed on the forum.

Cheers

Sam.

Sorry to hear of Bernard's plight and his withdrawal from "active service".

His contributions were always welcome on the forum.Like a number of other contributors he spoke from his experiences.

Please convey to him, my best wishes for the future.

 

The forum will miss one of its true gentlemen. Thank you for all your posts & all that you shared - thoughts, experiences, opinions, wisdom. God bless you & your family.
