Thank You FT Chat
 

I don't want to get mushy, but I need to pass this along.

Yesterday, 9/30, I was notified that a dear friend has passed away. I was on the road, alone, and unable to make the funeral. Needless to say, I was a little down.

I had logged in from my hotel to find directions to a restaurant, and decided I would check out Chat. There were quite a few folks logged in, and I started chatting. No one there knew what was going on with me, and I didn't bring it up.

For a few minutes, I felt that I was among friends, and no longer alone. I was provided with a few minutes of happiness, thanks to Chat, and I felt better the rest of the evening.

So, thank you FlyerTalk for providing chat, and thanks to the following individuals for being logged on last night: svpii, Catman, Old Gold, kyklin, and kidpachenco.

AZ_MISMAN,

Sorry for your loss. My condolences.

AZ -- I'm so sorry to hear about your loss..
But sometimes the best thing is to be around people (even if it's in cyberspace.)

Glad we flyertalkers could help out, whatever way we could.

Hi Bob:

Sorry for your loss. http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/frown.gif

But yes, I am constantly amazed by the people on this board - online and offline.

AZ.. I'm very sorry for your loss.. i understand exactly what you mean - i get lonely on the road and FT Chat has been a real mood manager for me as well... feel free to tap me anytime = online or off.

AZ: Let me join the others in offering my condolences. Living overseas, there have been a couple of times in the past 7 years that I haven't been able to get back home when I wanted - be it for the good or the bad.

FT is a haven in more ways that one! I'm sure we will see you back in the Chat room!

Although I wasn't on this chat, may I also add my condolences.

A few weeks ago I was also "chatting" from the YUL lounge. I was really down as whilst I was in New York & Montreal someone had tried to break into my house whilst my wife was alone in the UK. The support from the FF's was genuine and appreciated - you know who you are!
