There were a couple I've known here since 2001 that I hadn't realized had passed. I'll be thinking of all of our departed members over the next few days. May they be at peace.

People like me who do not have 10's of thousands of posts might not be so recognized. Yet, DU is such an integral part of my life. I wonder how many DUers like me have silently slipped away...

They are all missed and remembered for their contributions here, but I am sure they are missed more keenly by those closest to them in life.

OMG, I never saw that thread. She gave me so much advice by DM when I was trying to avoid foreclosure. In the end I lost my house, but I'll never forget her kindness or all the valuable information she shared.

Many of these people were the reason I stuck around when I found this place in early 2001, outraged and heartbroken, fearful for my country. They helped shine a light into the darkness.

I knew about some of the others, and sadly didn't know the rest.

But these three in particular I had followed since back in the day.

So long to all of you.

...while we're here:




There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't feel the flowing of the time when I'm gone
All the pleasures of love will not be mine when I'm gone
My pen won't pour a lyric line when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't breathe the bracing air when I'm gone
And I can't even worry 'bout my cares when I'm gone
Won't be asked to do my share when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't be running from the rain when I'm gone
And I can't even suffer from the pain when I'm gone
Can't say who's to praise and who's to blame when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

Won't see the golden of the sun when I'm gone
And the evenings and the mornings will be one when I'm gone
Can't be singing louder than the guns when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

All my days won't be dances of delight when I'm gone
And the sands will be shifting from my sight when I'm gone
Can't add my name into the fight while I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

And I won't be laughing at the lies when I'm gone
And I can't question how or when or why when I'm gone
Can't live proud enough to die when I'm gone

So I guess I'll have to do it while I'm here

There's no place in this world where I'll belong when I'm gone
And I won't know the right from the wrong when I'm gone
And you won't find me singin' on this song when I'm gone
So I guess I'll have to do it, I guess I'll have to do it
Guess I'll have to do it while I'm here
