I love Gabrielle because she is who she is and makes no apologies. I respect the hell out of that. Plus, she's super duper loyal and tells it like it is; that take a real friend. - Tamara J. B.

I love you, MC, because you have a ginormous heart , you're honest and I admire you so much for how great of a wife and mother you are. - Tamara J. B.

I love Vicster because she's no nonsense but still remains such a sweet soul. I love how she adores her cats and how genuinely kind she is. Plus, I just love that she's a bit mysterious in a way. - Tamara J. B.

I love all y'all because you see the good in me and remind me about it. - Mary Carmen

I love Vicster for her generous spirit, her willingness to answer all my questions and let me couch surf, her devotion and wit, her excellent taste in restaurants. - Corinne L

I love Stephen for his warmth and kindness, banter, and great disposition. He was super sweet to me when we first met and I will never forget that. - Corinne L

I love Stephen because he loves to have fun. Doesn't care who is watching, he just loves to be happy and have fun. Plus, he is a mean square-dancer. - Mary Carmen

I need to amend my post for MC to include that I love how generous and charitable she is; more than we probably know and that's saying a lot because she totally goes above and beyond for friends and strangers alike. Also, I love how brave she is; she'll share her biggest fears, when she's been ridiculed and totally honest when she's feeling down. Not a lot of people are that brave and confident in who they are to be so open. - Tamara J. B.

I love Corinne for her wit, loyalty, impressive knowledge of pop culture, how fun and up for anything she is, and her constant desire to seek personal growth. - Tamara J. B.

MC, i love you for all those same reasons. :D what everyone has said is true - you do have the biggest heart and care so much. my life is so much better for having you in it - and while our friendship started on twitter FF is really where i grew to know and love you. - holly #ravingfangirl

I love Corinne for how generous in her writing advice and kind words she's been to me. She rocks the party. - Jed

I love MC because in the best sense of things she is real. And open- she will let you into her heart. And she sounds like a New Yorker should ;D - Pete's Got To Go

I love myself till my hand gets tired then i switch hands to make it seem like another person loves me too. :) - Steve C, Team Marina

Steve. - Kristin

I will miss all of you because you made me feel a part of this tribe, even though I lurk most of the time. I will miss the smiles and chuckles and "D'aww!" that I find every day. I've met some amazing people and I hope to continue knowing them after The Last Day. Y'all are the *shiznit*. - Ruth Kneale

^ Ruth, thank you for posting. I often wonder how many people there are who read these words but rarely or never post, and yet do feel a part of the community (which you are). - Stephen Mack
