Taking My Leave

[MAD Doctor]

You're in our thoughts. Take care.

[WataugaMan]

You're on our thoughts and prayers.

[PhillyApp]

Really going to miss you! This board wouldn’t be what it is today without you. All the best.

[bigdaddyg]

Praying for a speedy recovery. Thanks for all of the great work you do.

Moose I'm praying for a good result in your struggles. I might skip over some posts on the board but if I see your name I make sure to read it, on the open board or in the Lodge. In my thoughts and prayers.

[Boone Goon]

We love you Moose! Take care of you and know that we’re all praying for you.

[AZAppGrad]

Don’t know what you are facing but as one who has been in a battle with C for the past 5 years I want wish you the best. I have found my peace in my makers arms and hope you have a place to go that gives you the peace and support you need. Lots of folks here love you so I hope you can feel the prayers and support that is coming your way. Godspeed...

[87ASUgrad]

Good luck with whatever you are facing. We will pray for you. Kick its butt and come back soon. You are one of the few that makes significant & legible posts on here!

[Rekdiver]

I doubt Moose would ask for anything but if anyone knows him, PM me I’m gonna send him something (appropriate)

[VNova]

Go, Fight, Kick Ass. We're pulling and rooting for you 100%. As you already see/know, we're here for ya if you need anything.

The road rises to meet those in heavens arms

[Rekdiver]

What the hell does that mean? Something happen to Firemoose?

You probably should rephrase or delete this unless this means what I fear it could mean.

Moose just posted about a baseball recruit last night.

[firemoose]

Was told on Twitter that a rumor of my demise was on here. I am still here as far as I know. Still sick but still alive.

If someone knows something I don't I would appreciate a PM. I still have a few loose ends...

[Rekdiver]

Woodstovegang what the hell were you thinking?

[Stonewall]

Geeeeezzzz man!

[NattyBumppo'sRevenge]

The saying doesn't mean what you guys think it does. In short, it just means "good luck on your journey"

[Gonzo]

Dude....not cool.

The Irish blessing is usually translated as:

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face.
May the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

The first line of that blessing is more properly translated from Irish to English as "May you succeed on your road." The mistranslated version has been in common parlance for so long that we accept "May the road rise up to meet you" as being just another way to wish someone a pleasant or successful journey. The first line has nothing to do with someone's death or imminent demise, nor is the blessing intended specifically for anyone who is ill. Instead, it is used at the routine partings of dear friends from one another whether it be for an hour, a day, or a year.

Wishing for Moose and all of you a safe and successful journey.
