Awww Phee! *Hugs you and your family tightly* We will miss you, fearless leader, but there is no doubt that the mods will keep the place running as smoothly as ever while you retire a bit to handle these changes in your RL. You have to take care of yourself and yours, and so this is the best thing for you at this time. I will be wishing you and your family well, and praying for you all as well. Please do pop in now and again if only to drop us a quick update. Wishing you only the best in the writing career, as well!

I'm so sorry you're having to leave because of so many tough issues to deal with in real life. My best wishes go to you and to your mother. But I'm awfully glad there's another reason for your departure, too. It was wonderful to hear that you're also resuming your professional writing career.
Thank you so much for creating this haven, for letting it continue without you, and for putting together the amazing team that will keep it going strong.

Thank you, Shadow.
Thank you, Em.

Phoenix, I'm saddened to hear that you are leaving, but completely understand your reasons for doing so. Take care of your mom, take care of yourself, and know that my thoughts are with you.
MLA has been my refuge from RL and I'll be forever grateful to you for bringing it to life. I'm happy to know it will continue in loving hands. I hope someday you'll find it possible to come back and spend time here again. Meanwhile, take care of the important things in your life and good luck with your writing!

Since I've been asked the same question a number of times in private, I thought it best to address it in public.
I
won't be dropping in with any regularity to check my PM's, or participate in board activities. (For anyone who feels so inclined, I'll offer my email address.) However, I
will be saying in contact with the staff here, so I am contactable if need be.
I'll be departing on November 11 ... although I'm sure I'll find my way back here for a few hours on Xmas day.

MLA throws the best parties, so I'll be here ... even if I have to run amok all by myself.

Getting to know you in the ML fandom has been one of the best things ever for me and I'm so happy to know that you will pop back to see us. I'll miss you.

My dearest friend, I wish you and your Mum some wonderful times together and it will help you both, I'm sure. You're writing will be a wonderful release for you too.
I will miss you around here. You are one of my oldest and dearest friends in the ML community. I know you'll be back but I'll be missing you dreadfully in the meantime.
Take care and know I'm here if you need to talk, let off steam, laugh, cry...whatever I'm here for you

Phoenix, I was late to the party, so I wasn't here for the founding of Moonlightaholics. However, your touch is evident throughout this site. And, of all the ML sites, this is the one site I chose to join. Thank you. Even those of us who are not particularly active truly appreciate all the time and effort you've put into Moonlightaholics. I wish you well in caring for your mother, yourself, and life in general. My very best wishes, Susie

I'm so sorry I've come to this thread so late. R/L has been taking up a lot of my time as you can obviously well understand.
Phee, you just can't argue with 'right' but oh, how I'd love to. You have left a wonderful legacy here, in this board. You've made the lives of so many people richer and I hope you hold that knowledge close to yourself with pride.
Best wishes to you and your mother. You'll be missed and remembered fondly.

Isn't she gorgeous in deep blue?!

And since her departure gives me the blues... somehow I feel it's a perfect color.
Am I Blue

Phee -- I'm so sorry to see this announcement, but being with your family and taking care of your own health is much more important right now. You're leaving the board in capable hands. so you know we will all be here for you when you are able to come back to visit and say hi. Take care and much love to you and yours.

Thank you, Sharon.
Somehow our friendship has survived board meltdowns, and me

occasionally running amok on the board you moderated. This isn’t good bye – it’s just a bump in the road.

Thank you, Susie.
We welcome “latecomers”, so I’m very glad you chose to join MLA.
Awww, thanks francis.
I’ll be back to wish everyone a happy Christmas, and again to celebrate MLA’s second birthday on January 13. (Two years is quite a feat in this fandom!)
Thank you, SparklyBird.
It’s good to see you again – even under these circumstances.
