I'll keep this as short as I can.
I came here back at AW's inception, and saw something that I knew was good.
Now, it isn't going to be so good anymore.
I have grown so fond of so many of you, that leaving here is really like leaving my family.
Some will say that is silly, but those of you that have been here as long as me know exactly what I am talking about.
Over the last 4 or so years, you have been there for the birth of my youngest son, my divorce, my depression, my new marriage, and most of all the near death and traumatic sitution with my oldest son, that took me to europe for six months, and so much more.
My family does not live close, and we speak occasionally, but my AW family was ALWAYS there!
I have also been there to see so many great and wonderful experiences with you guys, and those that were not so great. Actually, some were downright heatbreaking, but we always got each other through it.
I can't begin to thank people like:
Grannyfox, nobs, shosh, Beth, Kris, Chyna, Fashion, reddeer, terri, dkl, shadow, stock, Kel, toke, twin, rocker, barry, rickety, rosalinda, tatoonana, lori, littlejohn, rhyno, gailco, radh, sky, maui, spaz, ken, Linda, amy, amy, ross,
and I know I am leaving out so many, but you ALL are part of my AW family.
ALL OF YOU!
I want to thank you all for helping to shape the person I am today.
Some may think that isn't a good thing, but trust me, it is a REMARKABLE improvement over my former self.
With my departure here, I will take with me a lifetime of memories.
Thank you for that!
For the very last time here at AW, this is "Pocono" signing off, and wishing you all the very best that life has to offer.

Look in their eyes, and you'll see me."
