To Piloten

John,

I received a parcel from a proxy in Spain today, Emilio shipped it on to me from you in Canada.

What can I say, apart from thank you very much! It's a long lost friend and I have missed it since I sold it from Sjef's estate. You nailed it, hard!

I had tears in my eyes when I opened the parcel as I knew and remembered....

John, you and I are alike, we have a hard shell and a soft core! I am proud to call you a friend and I love you for the way you are, don't you ever dare to forget that! We have come a long way, HF from way back and now H-F, I love you for the way you are, what you do and what you stand for.
You and HF/H-F were here for me when cancer hit me late summer 2012 and you all have been with me all the way, as you are now! I can't thank you enough, it means a world to me and makes me proud of being a part of this community!

To H-F and old HF'ers, I love you all and I can't imagine myself in a world without you!

@Piloten thanks for thinking ahead and realising Michael would appreciate it.

My friends
My stars
My heroes. Every damn one of you.
As I sit here reading this with my faithful Max sleeping on my lap, I cannot help but remember all the times on HF, new and old. The laughter, sitting on a winter morning in the chat box.
The old and new friends.
The passing friends.
The missing friends. I still think about all of them.

You're a superstar Michael. The world is a better place with you in it.

When I saw the thing, my heart stopped and I knew who had to have it.

Knowing you will always be a privilege.

All the best. Always.

Love,
-J
