Happy Thanksgiving everybody - I just wanted to drop a note of gratitude to all of you, you mean more to me than you can imagine.
I’ve been a forum member here for about 15 years now, when I was still in college, bright eyed, bushy tailed. Everyone goes through their ups and downs but this year in particular has been a challenging one. I lost my father, far too early, this summer and really struggled with that. Just yesterday, we welcomed our first child into the world. The lows are low, but the highs are high.
Engagement seems a little lower than it has been in the past, but I’m so glad we have this group where collectively, we want the Pacers to succeed. We may have different ideas on how to do so, but the goal is the same. Regardless, it has been such a wonderful escape where even for a brief moment, I don’t have to worry about the real ish life sometimes throws our way, and to just engage in something we are all passionate about.
Though I once found them annoying, I’ve come to appreciate the posts about firing everyone and their moms, the grumbling about Myles, and some of the ludicrous trade ideas that come through. Beyond that, I love the civil discourse and interesting thoughts that members post.
For that, I thank you - you’ve helped me get through the darker parts of this year more than you know.
Anyways, enough of this gooey sh…ow of emotions, go Pacers!
