Happy Birthday wherever you are.

Yeah, what happened to Jaster.

I think about him every 9/11 automatically,....

Wish he were here.....

So do I!

Merrida · 27-Oct-07, 05:08 PM

Does anyone know what happened with Jaster? Anyone know him or how he's doing? He was a pretty big force in the forums "back in the day" when I started up....

**.V.** · 27-Oct-07, 08:42 PM

I'll ask him.

Good, and thanks, and tell him Merrida says "hi," -- if he remembers me from the forums or not,...but I sure remember him.

It would be nice to see him drop back in now and again, but I'll imagine this hasn't been a good month for him personally....

Tell him his DF friends miss him!

Thank you!

Yeah it's not been good.
I got a little down on myself (I miss my brother)
It don't get easer it just gets different.
I'm still filled with anger from time to time (almost to the point of rage)
My wife got me back into Comic Books of all things.
I have huge collection of them and I stopped in 94.
So now I have a 12 year gap but that's ok.
Have some friends trying to get me back into playing Music.
I don't see that happening, I just can't brig myself to play again just yet.
I guess if they shanghaied me maybe? (If you even spell it that way)
Anyway I have been taking on alot of OT and I am in school to be an Instructor.
I just passed my Safety Instructor class last month. Now it's on to Smoke house traning.
Any way I guess I'm sorry to be away for so long. I guess you never realy know how many people's lives you have touched untill you take a step back.
AND FOR THAT I AM HUMBLED AND I THANK YOU!!!!!

Big hugs Jaster! I knew this was going to be a tough time, and maybe that's why you're in the forefront of some of our minds. Even when I took a hiatus from DF, I still thought of you ever September, naturally, with an achey heart.

It's good to see you back here, even if you're just swinging through! And you're right, you have touched the lives of people you don't realize, and stepping back (and Andy reaching out to retrieve you a little bit), just to give you a gander, shows...we miss you buddy! Good to see you here!

We need to give props to V for reaching out to Jaster and lassooing (?) him back into DF Land. So a shout out and adding to everyone else, let me say "welcome home" Jas. Good to have you back buddy.
