Tom,
Was out this weekend, so no idea if you will actually read this.
I was quiet about you wanting to go, because I knew I wanted you to stay. You are still one of my best online buddies. But your art matters most.
Be at peace, find restoration for that battle-wearied soul of yours. You did a lot to create the community and family that exist here. Your efforts were not in vain and your vision was what all visions are: a step ahead of where we are at the moment in time where the vision's given. The community has still been forged. Please go with the knowledge that you were a catalyst in making that happen.
It was worth doing. You did change some hearts to see others behind the words that disagreed. There is victory in those small things.
Be at Peace.
Now go create some art that serves you, even better than you've served us.
