Did you ever spend 6 marcs with someone and not say a single word...and yet not need to at all....just be so comfortable in each others company that you've no need to speak. Sometimes actions speak so much louder than words.

It's harder work than I anticipated, ..no, thats not quite true...there have just been more issues than I thought there would be. I havent moved much from one spot for days..I havent trained at all and I have hardly farmed. I really need to get some kind of time management...but I've no motivation to train.

Xaphious...I do not feel I have praised him enough...I havent expressed how grateful I am towards him... he is such a kind and wonderful person. My life is enriched just to know him...Im so lucky to have shared that experience with him...and I will repay him, slowly...but I will.

Shawndora...just an amazing woman that I could not do justice to with mere words alone. Her courage, loyalty, tenacity, humour, easy manner and warm smile are something that I will cherish endlessly...she has so many virtues it's astounding. She's an angel.

Corum..always helpful, no matter what..fun, friendly, entertaining and officially the sexiest badass rogue that I know, enough that he can carry a pink weapon and still look good. Time spent with him is always a smile..and for that I am so very grateful.

Sharing what I did with them means I have become...attatched to them in some way, as foolish as it may sound, when you share an experience as harrowing...at least for I...it creates a great respect and love for the people that endured it with you, and made the time bearable. I want to keep them in my life for as long as they will have me...they are blessings
