I know you well enough to know you are following the path best for you. I honor who you are, all that you have done and all that lies ahead in your future. It is a privilege to call you friend and sister. Please know that I support you in your decisions and in any way I can.

Your courage, strength and wonderfully big heart will carry you safely on in your journey.

Thank you for seeing this site through each stage of it's journey- without you there would be note site and no vision. I wish you the best on all future endeavors and echo previously made statements in hoping that you will remain an active member of your brilliant creation.

Thank you is all I can say and it doesn't seem to be enough.

Melissa you know what this site and your friendship has meant to me over these soon to be 9 years...You gave me a family I never thought I'd have and made an impression on a very young very impressionable mind for the better. I love you.

Err... Congratulations? Best of luck? Not sure what's exactly the appropriate sentiment here. That said, you've done a great job, and I'm glad to have been able to have joined the Tower while you were Amyrlin. And I'm still looking forward to seeing you around at various events, so keep yourself well. *grins*

I refused to believe it when I got all the texts and messages. Reading this now........ I'm .......in shock. :brown-blink:

I love you.

We need to talk.


I'll post more later when I gather my wits about me. For now, the only way for me to deal with this is to just......pretend for a while it's not true.

I at first wanted to say I was shocked hearing you were resigning, but having been Company Commander of SDS I can understand stepping down. You've gone at it longer than anyone else, you deserve a break. I'm not a man of words so I'll let Kevin Smith say a few at least the first 15 seconds.
By your leave, Mother, I will stand.
The watch is not done.

Missa Darling. I could not be more proud of you than at this moment. I can't even begin to imagine how hard this decision must have been for you. I may call you Mother but you have been like my child. I have watched you grow these last ten years into an amazing woman. You are as much my child as Daria is. If this is your honest decision, I stand behind you 100%.

You conquered your world, my lil meglomaniac, with style grace and (to damn) much diplomacy. I'm sad to see you leave the Seat. My tears fall now. But I know the friends, jobs, bf's, hours, days, money, blood, sweat, tears and sanity that you have lost or given up to realize this dream. And realize it you did!! Now go forth and conquer the next world in your sights. I have a feeling I may know just what that world is and you will more than excel there too! *proud*

I weep for the end of an era. I raise my hands in joy for what is to come.

:beer to pants and Al Gore!

You have too much "sweat equity" to leave completely. So while you may step aside as Amyrlin, sure hope that you will keep your hand in.

Be well, Mother! And thank you for this wonderful world.

you're awesome and you'll always be Mother. I'm not going to offer advice or say what a rocking job you do cause most of them said it all already.
I met you once at a portland party at Ban's house, it was awesome. One of my favourite memories! I look forward to seeing you more in green :)

You know what you mean to me. If you had not started this site, Chad would not have come across it. Then he would not have directed me to it, I wouldn't have met Dan, would not have the beautiful boys I have, etc. My wonderful life and family is thanks, in a large part, to you. I agree with Liz (of course!). Now it is your turn. :hug Thank you for 10 years of your life. :hug Now enjoy the rest as a member, a Green Sister.
See you in the Green, Melissa. Love you!

I know I'm not a very vocal member of this community, but I too consider this site a second home. Having been a member here for nearly 7 years over that time I have always had such an enormous respect for you. I appreciate all you have done over the years to bring such a wonderful group of people together. When my husband got on my computer this afternoon, and saw the Facebook post and he told me, I couldn't believe what he was telling me. I was in complete shock when I read the post myself. I've been sitting here for hours trying to figure out what to say. Now I know things wont be quite the same, and it is hard to imagine calling anyone else Mother, but I know you would not leave the position without making sure we were in capable hands. I will fully support whoever takes your place, but I will always think of you as our Mother. Though I've felt a little strange all day about this, I will be happy for you now that you have chosen the right path for you.

*Huggles Mother*

You've seen me go from 14 to 21. Because of you, the board and the other helping hands who created this site with you I have found sisters, family, the man I'll grow old with. Though in my mind, I still remember being 14 with my sister singing our stupid song to you at our first Dragon*Con and going, "Holy cow that was Mother...y'know THE Amyrlin" and we both squee'd. In my head that't still you, hugging both of us telling us we're adorable. I'm sad my step-sister did not stay to cherish the bonds that are created on this site every day, but I'm glad I came back. I'm glad you welcomed me home. I have a cult that I'm very proud of, I'm not ashamed to tell people I'm going to cult camp because I know there are real people here who immediately open their hearts and share life with one another. You already know how grateful I am...we've discussed many things over the years and change happens. I don't know exactly how I feel, but I think I can prepare for the "re-birth" of TV.net.

I apologize for not believing in you. As I said I would, if this wasn't a joke.
Still...
