Although I have been reading the forums over two years, this is my second post. My first was on Christine's "Very Sad News" thread about Charm's passing.

I miss him. I miss his attitude. I miss his wisdom. I miss his humor. I miss his posting lyrics to songs. I miss the way he shared his journey. I miss the way he answered posts from new members who had courage enough to reach out to OCF. I miss the way he spoke of Bev. I miss Charm.

I never "talked" to him, but he taught me so much.

I'm thankful for him, and for all of you, his OCF friends. You and he share(d) experiences so that others, like me, for whatever reason are reluctant to post often, can learn, grow, and be better caregivers.

Your loss is shared by many and grieved deeply.

(I will add a signature line soon.)
