Before certain news was put out here in another thread, I had been making a very concerted effort not to throw out all of the problems going on between Dave and myself, and make people feel the need to take sides. I greatly missed going to the church concerts this year, and have been very, very upset at the fact that I feel I will no longer be able to attend such events. Because these things don't "just happen," and given the way events unfolded, I cannot just show up and act happy like nothing happened. And not wishing to make things uncomfortable for everyone, I had already decided the best way to handle it was to just not go anymore. Which really hurts a lot, let me tell you. More than I thought it would.

And just as I was getting to the point where I was dealing with what I felt to be another blow in all of this, I came here to at least see how people are doing and saw his "news". Most of you out there, not knowing what had been going on, would probably not realize the pain this topic would cause me. However, the person who started the topic, knowing exactly what had happened throughout, would know exactly how this would affect me. Is still affecting me.

As much as I have tried throughout to keep my mouth shut and not drag others through this, this one was more than I could take.

I am, however, sorry that the rest of you were brought in on it. I guess I just got a little tired of it being like I had never even existed.

I will miss you all a lot, but trust me when I say that given how things have happened, I will never be comfortable coming to these events knowing who I would most likely have to see there. So, it's been good to know all of you.

Finally, near as I can tell, most of you will be unable to e-mail me. At least, not if you try to do it through this site. So, if you would like to contact me, I can be reached at kaycee1616@hotmail.com. Or ask around - there are a few people around that know one or both of my other e-mail addresses.

I wish you all well.

One last thing..... I do not, and never did, wish to stir things up here. So I am asking that no one post to this thread. I've asked Larry to close it once I put it up, but I know there will be at least some amount of time it will be open before he gets a chance to do that. So I ask that you please just refrain from submitting anything else to this thread in the meantime.
