Cherishing the stories

Stupendous job on sharing your memories thus far!

So many of you indicated you were hesitant to pass on a story because you thought it wasn't "funny enough." Please realize whatever you choose to contribute can be based on any sentiment. There is no "humor requirement."

Simple recaps of our interactions have been meaningful. I had either completely forgotten them OR you provided an entirely different perspective from mine.

Know that we have spent many hours reading, rereading and smiling/laughing/crying.

So for those of you that have yet to send something in, don't be shy!  The only thing you may want to consider, at least in my opinion, is to suck up to me. Remember, I am headed to a place where there is major potential for what can only be categorized as "upside" for my posse of family, friends and loved ones. Having me on the "inside" looking out for all of you has to be an advantage.

Even if you can't amuse me with a story, you should at a minimum inflate my ego by recounting how I [insert some exaggerated premise].

Since it is already established how relentless I can be (especially when I am focused on a goal), you might want me at the door as a wing-man in case you need assistance either with line-jumping or admission when it is time for you to join the eternal party.

Keep those stories coming!
