AB user, Major Tom, lost his wife Megan to an accident involving a bus, just 8 hours ago. Would you join me in expressing our condolences to him on the loss of his life partner just when he was planning his retirement with her in 2 years time?

I thank you all for your kind expressions of condolence. I'm going to reproduce here the lyrics of "our song" in hopes of getting it out of my head. It reminded me of my beloved and Meghan loved it. I apologize that I do not know how to "cut and paste" or how to work the indent controls, I'm an antique. "Tiny Dancer"- Elton John, Bernie Taupin 1974 Blue jean baby, LA lady, seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, Pirate smile, you'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand, xxx Jesus freaks out in the street Handing tickets out for God Turning back,she just laughs The boulevard is not that bad xxx Piano man he makes his stand In the auditorium Looking on she sings the songs The words she knows, the tunes she hums xxx But oh how it feels so real Lying here with no one near Only you and you can hear me When I sing softly slowly xxx Hold me closer tiny dancer Count the headlights on the highway Lay me down in sheets of linen You had a busy day today, XXX Blue jean baby, LA lady, seamstress for the band Pretty eyed, Pirate smile, you'll marry a music man Ballerina, you must have seen her dancing in the sand And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand.

Brian: Somebody is systematically 'nonsensing' the answers that doesn't suit them. But this one thread is not getting nonsensed. Is it because the answer carries the essence of the fraud so it doesn't matter what is said in the comments thread? My own answer has been nonsensed and removed with the thread under it. I had all the evidence in that answer with links to what MT had said over time to pertuate his fraud!
I don't exactly remember what I said under your answer, but it must have been in these lines only. In AB anyone can flag a question or an answer 'nonsense' and as long as there is no appeal the flag will stand and the flagged question or answer will stand rejected.
You could check the 'answers' in your profile page to see if your answer was indeed rejected as 'nonsense'.

Suby, My answer was nonsense. It asked, "Where have all the answers gone?", and there were over 150 answers. When I posted it I was trying to link to an answer that had been removed, presumably as nonsense. I don't think the staff would remove answers that were obviously valid answers to the question asked.
 
By the way, you did a wonderful job of rallying support for a peson who needed it - the fact that his needs seem to have been different from what we thought is immaterial. Well done.

Thats the way I look at it, Brian. I take care not to do anything against my conscience. To tell you the truth I had expected a maximum of say, 20 answers. Same as any other question of mine. But that MT had such a large following, I was not aware. Obviously he was working on building up a good fan following before he decided to play tricks with people's minds and emotions. I copied and went on pasting the comment I posted to a good friend of mine, under all answers, changing only the names. I wasn't prepared for such a large influx of responses. Most unfortunate of incidents.

Major Tom...I am very sad for your loss. But please rethink this tragedy my friend. If you had been killed by a bus would you want your Meghan to give up on life or would you want her to continue on, keeping you forever alive in her heart? She is still here watching you and sees your pain and weeps for you. Doing anything to yourself would hurt her so. Please think of her and what she would want for you and carry on my friend. That would be the very best way to honor her and your life with her. As long as you live, she lives.

Feeling a little depressed, but Okay. No one has ever given me a ride for 4 long days till now! But some 150 ABers must be feeling the same way as me! Time to look ahead leaving the recent past behind, Sunshine.

never mind guys, its all part of experiencing emotions that have invoked each and every one of you in various ways, most likely helping to open points and feelings that have been hidden and buried .......... from each event in ones life can come growth and learning.:)

The trust appears to have been broken, Kiwi Girl. Should be very careful about taking anything at face value from now on.

Planning and material things is all I can focus on right now. he part of my brain labelled "love" is now permanently sealed. Duty,and possibly hatred, is all that motivates me now.

That's very good. Now I know that the part of your brain that plans things is functioning. We have something to work with.

I am right here, Tom. Talk to me as much as you want, but start talking. I care very much about you.

Talk to me.

Remember a few days ago when I gave you a hug? I remember your response, because you didn't just give me a hug back. You gave me a hug from you and Meg! It was the only hug of it's kind I have ever recieved on AB.....I've never seen anyone honor thier spouse in a hug like that before.

I know the pain is blinding and runs to your core. I get that. The chaplain said that there has not been a suicide in over 100 years. Do you remember him saying that? In case you lose sight of it, I am reminding you of those words. He was telling the truth. He meant it, Tom.

Hold onto your honor.

Meg will be in your memories, Major. You will realize the purpose of your life only after you retire in due course from the army in 2 years and settle down to a life of peace and tranquility in your farm. Then onwards you will look after your trees and spend your spare time in thinking and writing about this 'accursed world' of ours. Do make up your mind on this course I suggest.

Again, thank you Suby for your care and concern in this matter. I can think of no better person to be at the helm of this tragedy.
