Many heartfelt thanks, Mike, and a Happy New Year to you, too.

 

Thank you Mike. This is very good news.

 

I second the posts by Giovannino and Swift
Best regards and a good new year for you (us) all

 

This is the nicest (belated) Christmas gift.

 

My hope is to not have to use it very frequently
Ojalá no tengamos que recurrir a ello con frecuencia

 

That's exactly what I said in a PM to Mike after his announcement. You read my mind!

 

A warm hug to you, Laura. Only you and I on this forum were able to fully appreciate the beauty of Caterina's generous, selfless but also life-loving, pure soul and enjoy the privilege of getting to know her outside WRF. This bond is a gift that we will always share.
I paid tribute to Cate in my "A place to mourn" thread so I'm pondering whether to repeat what I said there in the new thread. I'll take some time. It has to come from the heart and I'll write a few lines when I'm ready.
Buon Anno Nuovo a te e ai tuoi cari. Sì, è giusto andare avanti, ma il ricordo deve essere coltivato e abbracciato, in questi tempi tristi in cui si corre, corre, dimenticando tutto e tutti.
