Hi-rebooting and some things to share

[Shadow]

Good evening everyone still logging in on here.Been a long time since Ive even been able to look at Renegades let alone post.Some of you will be aware that in September last year my daughters boyfriend-who did occasionally come on here in a joking wind up capacity-was killed in a horrific accident.He was 18 years old and to say it devastated all of us is an understatement-Jamie was like a son to me and its taken alot of time and alot of help for all of us to be able to get back to anything resembling normality so I hope you understand why Ive been away.I want to thank those of you who were aware for your messages of support-it meant a great deal to me-and more importantly-to Corrina.Just wanted to give a brief explanation.In a moment Im going to go through the threads and see how things have been-from messages Ive had from members Im guessing it wont make happy reading so dont be surprised if some things are removed-Im sure some of you were waiting for that to happen anyway.Im also contacting other members to let them know we are back in business.Theres a lot to discuss I think-General election coming up for starters-and Im looking forward to debating again-thats debating-not rowing,name calling etc.So bear with me whilst I do some reading

Hi Shadow glad you're back. Missed you.

Thank you Patsie-and thank you also for the messages you have sent me-it meant a great deal.Ive missed you too-and Im so happy you kept popping in-I was so worried I might lose contact with you because youve always been a special friend to me-so sorry I was quiet for so long-I think we were so profoundly shocked by what happened we just had to close ranks as a family and try and get each other through the shock and grief-but if Ive learned one thing its to value the people who matter to me-and you most certainly are one of those people xx
