Well ladies and gentlemen tonight is the night, my last in Austin. As of tomorrow at 9am drive to Abilene and get my new life started. I wanted to say goodbye to everyone here personally, but there are a lot of you and time has run out unfortunately. So I will do it here.

First off let me say thank you. Y'all have given me so much over the last 3.5 years, I can only hope I've given a fraction back to the community. I was taken in my by this group, this great big dumb jock. Who thought he knew the world but knew nothing much at all. This community saved me when I was at my lowest and had to reinvent who and what I am. Y'all have given me so many different perspectives and ways to see this world, I'll never see it the same. I'm very proud of this community we have built. It has reached some amazing places from where I found it all those many years ago. I've watched furs come and go, relationships start, end, and begin again, furs reach out to touch their dreams. It has been amazing to see, and now I will have to watch from afar. But know I will be watching. I cannot wait to see where y'all take it next, I feel like this is just getting started.

Second I have no desire to leave Austin. I believed Austin was going to be home forever, my happy ever after if you will. However, life has been patiently waiting for me and it has come calling. If any of you ever need anything my door will always be open and you can approach me for anything. Life and the Heavens above must have had something else planned for me.

I'm going to miss y'all very much, you've become my family and I love the people you've become. Stay true to yourselves and hold on to one another.

(I told myself I wouldn't cry but I failed)

Goodbye my family

Love,
