Hi folks,

After serving many years here as our primary co-administrator, Sabby has decided to step down. She's doing this for many different personal and life reasons, all of which are good.

She's been here so long in that role, I barely remember the community pre-sabby! Over those years, I've come to rely on her good and reliable judgment to be one of the primary voices here in my stead.

I can't honestly express in words the amount of gratitude and appreciation I have for sabby and how much I'll miss her. Luckily for all of us, she's not leaving the community -- just stepping down from the administrator role. She's worked hard as a co-administrator and I'm just happy to have had the honor to work alongside of her for these past years.

So please join me in thanking her for her long years of service to the community! It's definitely helped keep our community strong and stable.

Thank you sabby!



John

Thank you for all your years of service here (((Sabby))). I know you did many things and I admire the way you handled the challenge of taking care of threads that got out of hand - myself included lol - you're fair and gracious. I'm happy you'll still be a member here. Best of luck in your decision.

(((((((((((( Sabby ))))))))))))))

sometimes there are just not enough words to say other than to say a very big thank you. Since joining here.....what seems like so long ago you have helped and guided me through some very hard and trying times. You helped me in so many ways it is impossible for me to explain them all.................but just know that to ME you have made a massive impact in my life and l am so pleased that you will still be around here cus it just wouldnt be the same without seeing your name around the boards.
Good luck in all you do.........challenges old and new

many many hugs to you

Oh dear me......such wonderful outpouring of appreciation and love....for me, little old me. Oh my gosh, this is so much harder than i thought it was going to be

(((((((((( John ))))))))))) Thank you for your sentiment. I have so enjoyed working beside you and the rest of the team members over the past 4 years. There have been good times and hard times, but through it all we made it and learned from each time and each other. I am honored that you gave me the opportunity to step up first as a moderator and then less than a year later as an administrator. Both you and kimmydawn and January had faith in me and I hope I have never let you or the membership down.

To (((((((((((((((( All of you wonderful members )))))))))))))))))))), there is nothing more I can say than that I love you all! Behind this screen are breathing, feeling people. You are more than a username to me. You have all taught me that we can't always assume things about people. None of us know what each other's lives are truly like, we don't live them. You've taught me to open my eyes and my mind to different possibilities and I am forever grateful to all of you for this. Thank you for allowing me to share in part of your lives over the years. I am truly honored by that.

Okay, I'm crying too hard now to continue. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart....everyone!

dear sabby,

i've only recently have personally gotten to "meet" you here at PC, but i know you are a kind and giving person. i've seen how fairly and gently you handle things here at PC, and how very helpful and supportive you are to everybody. i'm very glad you will still be here. maybe do a support chat?

good luck with your new endeavors. i wish you well.

Thanks for this!
