Hi guys,

Most of you won't know me if you're fairly new to this site, and for those that do, know that I love and miss you all <3

As it's my Birthday today, and because I have fond and loving memories of this site; I thought I would come back and leave a little note.

(warning, this gets emotionally sappy)

Xsketch to me, means family.

I've made many lasting friendships from this site and it was always a safe haven for me whenever I felt the world was too much. There was always a friendly face and a welcoming warm environment for me to come "home" to.

I don't always feel the happiest on my birthday; December and Christmas are periods of a low for me but it was the thought of past happy memories here that put a smile on my face today, which is why I took the opportunity to make a visit.

So, without making this sound like a sob story, I just have to say this - Thank you.

Thank you to everyone that ever gave me snippets into their daily lives.
Thank you for the smiles, the tears, the never ending laughter and most of all, the love; because that's what I felt here- loved.

I know it's not the site it used to be, and I miss the community on here so terribly, but if one of you happens to stumble this way and maybe even make it to the forum to read this post, I hope it brings a little smile to your face knowing you are loved.

I will never forget any of you, and one day I hope to meet you all again.

I apologize for the gush of emotion, but it can't be helped today.

Love you always,

Brighty/Brightside/MrsB
