Hi, fellow Moonlightaholics.
I know... it was hard, and sad, and I drank a whole bottle of wine and cried on my long-suffering husband. It wasn't fair. We were robbed of all the stories we might have gotten. We were robbed of Mick and Beth, and maybe Coraline again. We never got to find out what that list of names would get Talbot to do. (By the way... am I the only one who just hated Talbot? Who the heck did he think he was, anyway?? But I digress.)
I know.


This crazy year, when we are stuck in our homes and we are hearing so many tragic stories and we are wondering if we'll lose a loved one, I am tending to look on the bright side of losing Moonlight a dozen years ago. (Don't ask me why. I have no idea. I just write what comes into my head, and this is what came into my head tonight.) We got a pretty neatly tied-up package (bless you, writers!), with lots of tantalizing bits of unanswered questions to make us want to figure out what the answers might be. We got a whole boatload of inspiration that led us to write, and learn how to edit videos, and figure out exactly what those song lyrics were, and make beautiful banners. We made friends all over the world, and some of us lucky ones got to meet some of those friends.

I'm not sorry about one bit of that magical, crazy, obsessed time. I wouldn't change one moment. I feel blessed to have fallen in love with Moonlight, and I feel blessed to this day to have you, my friends, to talk to and share with and remember with. Remember that Bif Naked song? "We are the lucky ones, dear." My dears, I do feel lucky. I feel grateful for the whole thrill ride. I am content to be here, even in lockdown, with all of you. I'm glad you still come to this forum, even if you never say a word. I'm a happy little Moonlightaholic tonight.

Happy 12th Sonata-versary, everybody. I'm glad we're on this roller coaster together. I couldn't ask for a better team.
