Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know she was very much looking forward to spending time with you. I hope you carry her beautiful spirit of hope for brighter days in your heart as she did. Let loving memories of happy times fill your heart with love and joy in remembrance.
May it comfort you to know that your mom was a beloved anon here with a lovely demeanor and always had a kind word and/or prayer for those struggling with life's challenges or losses. She'll be missed here by those of us on GAW who grew to know her, if only online, and value her many thoughtful contributions.
May the Lord comfort and console you and your mom's other loved ones as He welcomes her into His loving arms for eternal rest. 🙏✝️
