Everybody:
Carey has emailed me and he told me to tell everybody tht he's okay and he's lurking (so be careful, he's got his eye on you, Yukio!) and that he will be dropping in in a little.
I ain't gonna tell nobody how to handle they B-I-Z, but it might be nice if you guys just post him a little line here wishing him well. |

Thanks Chris
Hello Family
It goes without saying that I've deeply missed all of you. I have to again thank Chris for continuing to give me a holler, checking up on the ol'man. As I was telling Chris, I miss my Ann everyday and it's very awkward going to places in which we used to visit together such as my home here at Thumper's Corner. I know Thump and some of the ol'school probably miss her as well. Times are tough but they are getting better and I now can talk about her without falling apart, Chris and others have encouraged me to vent a little of my thoughts so I hope you don't mind if I do so here at a place I've considered my second home, amongst friends. My son has moved back home with me so that's.......that's.....kinda nice.....sometimes *smile*. Y'all know what I mean. He's messy, hungry and seems to have a laspe of memory when I bring up the issue of money. Oh yeah, he seems to think all them grocerys are just dropped through the chimney by Santa or somebody and that nice cool air he likes is a gift from the gods. And don't get me started on his friends that look at me like who's the old guy in "my son's house". Yeah, it's nice to have him around.......sometimes.
I see all the old matchups are still going on. Of course Thump and Brian still love each other. Yukio, ABM and Chris are continuing to keep the board lively.
Hello Soul Sister, I still love that name and you too, I've missed you. You're one of the old school.
I see Susan and Linda are still hanging out continuing to bring style and class to the corner.
I've also noticed some new faces that seem to be adding some nice spice to the pie......Fool on the hill, Beautifulwaterstar, InPrint and others.
They'd have to burn the place up before Cynique would stop posting....hello Cynique.
Special love and thanks to Sis E. and Sisgal, thanks for the prayers and love.
Ms. Tee, I see you're still keepin' it real. How is that new house coming along?
How about Look-E-Loo and Bayou Lights, are they still visiting?
I miss my girl T-Bone, has anyone heard from her?
Hey Crystal.....what you up to?
Is Judy still onboard?
Hi Yvette, have you been good?
Hey repskern.
Claxton.....Claxton....were is Claxton. We had our thang but I respected the hell out of him, he always stood on his.
Thump, you know I've missed you. How has it been going. What's happening on the music front? I see the Stagolee issue had some closure, that was nice reading.
Well, thanks again everyone for the shoutouts and the love
Thanks Troy
Carey

Heyyyyyyy Carey, it's wonderful "seeing" you and I'm so glad to hear things are getting better for you. I miss you and look forward to your full return. And thanks for the laughs on your son. It amazes me how fast children grow and the different emotions they cause you. :-)
Things are okay on my end, just tired. We've moved twice in the last 4 months, so I'm hoping to let the dust settle a while this time, though we will probably be making our final move within the next six months. I do like Atlanta though...it's MUCH, MUCH better than Boonies, Alabama. As soon as I get use to the traffic and where everything is, I'll be good to go.

Hi Carey,
I've been good. Staying very busy with my family, but also getting a chance to get my read on. It's good to hear from you again. We miss you around here. Hey, feel free to vent about your feelings of loss of your soul mate whenever and wherever you want. It aids the healing process. Take it from someone who knows. I lost my father as a teenager and it took me five years to actually talk and get it off of my chest. I wish I'd done it sooner. Take care Carey.
By the way, I'm currently reading this month's CWMYB selection, The Marrow of Tradition by Charles Chesnutt. |

Hey, Bro. Carey,
I was out your way over Labor Day in the big DM, and I thought about you. You're doing exactly the right thing, to share your thoughts with us loyal brothers and sisters, thoughts that you CAN share, you know? Maybe one day you might want to write some stories or poems or even that book! |

Hey Carey,
I was so glad to hear from you and about you. I haven't been on the board much, but u know me, I always drop by to see whats up and who's talking, kinda like home for me too! Still writing, trying to publish that book in all, collecting my record of rejections, but it's going to take more than that to keep me down. My baby girls gone to college, that was sad, letting her go, but I'm struggling to keep the faith, she's got a good head on her shoulders and a determined spirit. A while back I had a dream about you and Ann, meeting the both of you, sitting around, talking about books and writing. It was a beautiful dream too! Miss ya much and always wishing you well. Stay in touch.

Thanks
Sisgal, I too have dreams about Ann......all the time. I miss her so very much. At times I don't feel like carrying on. There's this void this deep emptiness that's at times unbearable. I don't know how to do life without her. I've never been without her. I still sleep on my side of the bed. I catch myself listening for her when i come home. I feel lost, she took care of me, boy do I miss her. I have not watched a single movie, I feel strange, that was our thing, Thump told me the other day that he too misses her. When a certain book comes around that he knew she would like. he finds himself thinking about asking her opinion. They had a great relationship. In an odd way they were a pair, they played off one another and let me tag along. All of her books are still in their place. I pick them up and remember the conversations we had about them. I am lost, I hurt. But I do this thing called life because I have to. I buy lots of frozen dinner now, I don't cook much, it's strange cooking for one. people tell me to get out, stay busy. I understand but it's all new and very uncomfortable. Ann and I were basically the stay at home type and now I am suppose to get out..... I don't know . I enjoy coming to Thumper's corner, it's a place I've always used to set my mind at ease. I know somebody will be there and I don't have to "be" anything. I don't have to put on a happy face or talk if I don't want, I can just enjoy the moments. Anyway thanks again for the kind words. Thanks everyone
Carey

Carey,
What beautiful words. I always told you how I admired the love you guys shared and it's evident in your message. I recently read a book by James Patterson, "Suzannes Diary for Nicholas", a moving story about love and life. After reading it I was so touched by the love that these people shared and I made a comment to a co-worker that "it was just a fantasy, make believe, there was no such man, and no such love in real life", but you have proved me wrong. Your love for Ann and hers for you is just as strong and beautiful. I know nothing I say will ease your pain, but know this, you and Ann have touched all of us, with your words, your love, and your love of books. It seems unimaginable that through words alone we would have become this quite dysfunctional family that we have become, but I know not a day goes by that I don't check in, like you, to read, sometimes post, but always checking in. So please keep stopping by, we wouldn't have it any other way. And thanks for taking the time to answer my post.

Your grief has to run its course, Carey. Don't let others set a time-table for your period of mourning. Your heart will tell you when you're ready to get on with your life. When the painful memories become loving reminiscences, then time will have mercifully healed your wounds. Hopefully. |
