It feels like all the air got sucked out of the room.

That describes it exactly. I've been feeling like this all evening, like I've got a big hole through the middle of me and it's hard to breathe. I guess I just didn't realize how much I loved his daily presence here and the warmth he brought to this forum. It's like a great light was snuffed out.

I don't post here much, but I love popping in and reading the threads, especially his. His wonderful way of looking at life, his stories, anecdotes, humour. I'm shocked and saddened by his passing, though I had little interaction with him, apart from liking his posts and occasionally posting something in response. I wish now I spoke to him more when I had the chance.

To all of you here who lost a dear friend :hugs

Sumi, I've been thinking...don't know how hard it is to change things on the forum format, but was wishing we could have some emoticon added in the smiley portion of this forum that would represent Alex...maybe a flower emoticon of some sort? So that, whenever we are talking about something and it brings him to mind, we can place that in our text? Sort of something to put in the place of saying, "Sounds like something NYboy would do or say."

Sure would be nice to have an Alex button somewhere we could press every time our hearts remember his brightness, his kindness and his childlike way of looking at life. He left quite an impression on us all here and it would be nice to sort of keep him here in a way.

Any way of doing that?

Maybe a happy dog as a choice. Edited to add: Or maybe an excited puppy

Forum (several) shorthand : TEG (the easy garden), BAFG (bad a$$ farm girl), RIR (Rhode Island Red), ACV (apple cider vinegar) and on an on - every forum has them and they are understood by the members and explained to the newbies....

AWLT (Alex would like that)
