Amy, darling Amy:
What can I say. So often I read here "So-and-so got me through" or "So-and-so has such great words of wisdom", thus anything I write can soiund hollow or gratuitous.
Amy, quite literally, your posts and PM's kept me afloat when I was sure what was happening to me was going to be devastating. We shared a commonality that helped me cope through those very dark days. While I had (and have) a sponsor, he did not "get" my job situation and how sure I was I had destroyed my chances of continuing in the industry I loved and knew best. You, however, did.
I love you for that, and will...always.
My sincere congratulations on two years of being able to be the best Amy there can be. I see a Georgia vacation in my future!
Hoping the bear would be welcome in "real life", I remain,
