I saw the link to The Last of the Fey today......

And it made me think about one of my most special friends, Denise Trask. I am ashamed to say that I have been so busy lately, and so buried in my own issues, that I have not thought of her in some time.

Please forgive me Denise. You were a very special friend and mentor to me when I truly needed someone to guide me. Your efforts, along with a few others here on BCTS, kept me sane and helped me to move forward. Without your help especially, along with that of Bailey Summers, I would not be the person that I am today - hell, I would probably not be alive today. For me to have not thought of you is selfish and unthinking of me.

I hope that you are in a better place now, and I hope you are keeping a bar stool warm for me. Tell the boys I said to behave, and that I will be along soon enough - but I have more to do here first.

I miss you and your wonderful letters filled with advice and encouragement. But more than that, I miss simply knowing that you are there for me.

Absent comrades.
