Dear friends,
It has been my distinct pleasure, and honor in being with all of you through the thick and the thin. Through the past few years I have found a place-a home if you will, that I could come to when all other doors were shut. I've been with you through marriages, divorces, deaths, births, and everything else that life has thrown at all of us. I've never quite had the opportunity to express quite what I've felt about all of you. Mostly due to the fact that I have yet to meet one of my basenote kin face-to-face. I'm sure all of you lead interesting lives, or at least interesting enough to yourselves. Sometimes I wonder about some of you. What kind of people you are, what you're really like away from the computer, and about your lives.
As of late I'm sure that you may (or may not) have noticed that I have been away from the site quite a bit. Please forgive me, I've had quite a bit to deal with lately. Recently I moved, changed jobs, and have been helping my family with a few challenges that we all must go through in life. No more than 2 months ago my lovely girlfriend informed me that we could be expecting a child. At the time it didn't quite register with me, mostly because it was just her guess and she hadn't even taken a test yet.
Fast forward approximately a month and a half to today (August 5th). Today I saw my child for the first time. He (or she) is no more than 3 months old the doctors say. I saw it's hands, feet, head, and heard it's heartbeat. Then it really sank in with me that I will soon be entering a new phase in my life. One where I cannot be selfish, even for a second. My time and effort must go into being for my family and child, what my father never was for me.
I love perfumes just as much as any other person on this site and I must say that I will most certainly miss the packages in the mail, and multiple messages in my inbox. I have realized now that I must purge everything that can be purged. I must ditch everything that can be ditched. Pay off my credit cards, my car, and hopefully start saving some money for when my child arrives.
I hope that I get many chances in the future to be as avid a poster as I once was on this site. But from here on out I will begin to phase myself out as much as possible. Perhaps list some things on the sale boards, Maybe even buy that bottle of Cuir Ottoman that I've been wanting for so long and be done with it.
Just know friends, that no matter where my life takes me after the next 6 months I will always remember all of you. I can only hope that your lives take as many good turns as mine has for me lately.
Good luck in all your endeavors-present and future, and remember you will never be forgotten.
