“People so seldom say I love you And then it's either too late or love goes. So when I tell you I love you, It doesn't mean I know you'll never go, Only that I wish you didn't have to.”





Snowbirds will be flying away soon and I, for one, will be deeply saddened. I have made many lifelong friends, among them are Hyacinth, Barefoot and my Chicago friend Nonie. I just wanted to post this to tell you how much I enjoyed our times together and how much I will truly miss you. Of course, I am including their hubby's on this. Vetman and I appreciate their true and deep friendships. But, my girls! My girlfriends. I know we'll be in chat together and pm-ing each other back and forth until you return again.That is beauty of this forum. But I won't see your beautiful smiling faces.

I get angry when I hear people complain about extra lines at the restaurants, extra traffic that snowbirds cause. That's all so trivial. Snowbirds are beautiful, loving beings. And I will be waiting here, with open arms, for your return.




I love snowbirds . . . I just wish I could turn them all into Frogs.

With love, chelsea

Chels, beautifully said. I agree with you wholeheartedly. Until you all return, many hugs and much love.

Without Snowbirds...where would The Villages be? They are the cement that holds everything together...

We will miss you, sistah's and hubbies! Remember, we love you.

As Donna would say, we'll all be together again soon

Love Kathie :redface: :redface: :redface:

[graciegirl]

Beautiful to watch and so needed in this world. Never enough love. One thing about being a little older we less afraid of showing love for each other. YOUR friendships warm MY heart. I hope I will make connections too, should we decide to live there.

[nONIE]

OMG Chels,

That is so beautiful! Why you wanna make me cry?And we feel the same about you!
I tell others were only a keyboard away but somehow thats no consolation now.

Thankyou for caring so much, that means the world to me. :'(


I am blessed by your friendship.

Gracie, you will decide to come to TV, I can tell already, you'll be a major influence on the pack. You're a good lady and we'll enjoy being your sistah!! Hurry, make up your mind, I'll talk to you in person next week, when we're both there.

My Dear Sistah Chel and Bruddah Vetman,

What you wrote brought tears to my eyes. Thank you so much for all the love and acceptance I feel. Just makes leaving so hard.

I am leaving with a saddened heart. I like many of my snowbirds do not want to leave nor are we ready to leave. You have made us all feel so welcome and wanted.

We are like Monarch Butterflies or the Swallows of Capistrano who always come back year after year, no matter where we are. You have us for life and we know how to get home.

Love you all also, you have enriched our lives more than words can express. I will be taking all of you with me when I leave in a very special and unique way.

And to all my Chat Room Buddies this goes to you also.

All of you are wonderful, supportive, caring and beautiful people whom I feel very lucky to say "You are my friend."

With love to all of you ....until our paths meet again.

And Sidney Lanier send his best.

It is always so obvious that the friendship you all have, is very special. I hope there will be room for two more when we finally get to move, next year! As soon as the "see you soons" are said, and the tears are dried - someone should begin the plans for your Welcome Back party! I can only imagine how wild and fun that one will be!!! Have safe trips, all of you.
Marcia

[nONIE]

Thankyou Marcia,

Of course their is room for 2 more, our hearts are filled with love and ready to spread it all around. I look forward to meeting you!

[Hyacinth Bucket]

Hi Marcia,

All I can say is with what Nonie has written. We all have very large welcoming hearts.

There is definitely room for both of you.

Thank you for the beautiful sentiments. You know how Hyacinth, Nonie and I feel about leaving > and about you ;D.

It is so special that you took the time to write your beautiful note and I appreciate it. :bigthumbsup:

We'll be back before you know it! :beer2:

Barefoot lovehorse

[pm10]

Thanks much, Nonie and Hyacinth! You all do have large welcoming hearts! I just watched the Freeze video again...........and you all have a lot of fun in those hearts, too!

[Village Kid 2]

Snowbird friends, I will surely miss you too and will anticipate and welcome you back when you return! And I'll be a frog by then! TOTV has provided us a place to meet and make new friends which we may otherwise have never met. It does make the world smaller knowing that no matter where you are, we can stay in touch through the web. Enjoy your time away. We'll celebrate your return! Time spent with you has been the best! Love you all! :-*
