    Five years ago yesterday...

    ...we (the CS community) got some of the worst news I can imagine. I got a reminder of that today on FB when I was looking at my "On This Day" notifications. I was a member of this board under a different name back then, but I have never forgotten the impact of this news. I likely never will.

    Plaidman, you live on in our hearts and memories. Wherever you are now I hope holds the peace you sought.

    Plaidman is the reason I'm back. Different name, because my old email is defunct... but NotSoInnocent is back because Plaidman was a sweetheart.

      I wish I could have had the chance to know him. I know him through the other members and his posts. He was clearly a wonderful man. RIP.

        Yes he was!
        And he suffered more than a person as sweet as he should ever have suffered, physically and emotionally.

        I am angry and bitter and sad about his death and I probably always will be.
        There was no need for it, and it was a huge loss.
        I wish he could have known how his true friends loved him and the fickle people he encountered in his life who mocked and hurt him weren't worth the tears he cried.
        Too tired of living and too tired to end it. What a conundrum.

          Plaid and I had our differences near the end BUT I could understand where he was coming from and his situation.
          I'm lost without a paddle and headed up SH*T creek.

            The date always passes me by, but now that I'm reminded I'm tearing up. I fell apart at the time.

                I will always be reminded of the date because he died on the anniversary of my husband's death.

                I lost 2 beautiful people on that date.

                  There was a Memoriam FB group for him...not sure what happened to it. It just kind of poofed from my group lists, and I can't find it again.

                    I don't know about that one, but his personal page is still open and some CS members continue to post there.

                      I still have his number in my phone.

                      I miss talking with him, and I wish he could've met my third cat, Valentina.

                        I still had his number and his last message to me until my phone died on me.

                        It felt like losing him all over again

                          *hugs everyone*

                          I just wish more people hugged him and nobody mocked him at all.

                            He is missed. Sometimes I think that if we all could have found a way to turn virtual hugs into real ones, he'd still be with us.
