Don't take what I said in the wrong way. I neither felt you were harsh, callous, or unwise. It's true, in the end, it is just a board, one that I enjoyed, and grew through, but just a board. I don't mourn the loss of what it is now. I walk away happily.
I do mourn what it meant to me. I mourn the loss of the beginning. I will continue to grow, from the seeds planted there. I will always have the friends, which were its greatest gift. Maybe I should have made this more clear... I mourn the beginning, but I celebrate the journey.
