Mr. G, I do not know what to say.
"I'm sorry" just doesn't cut it and yet, it is how I feel.
Guohua and I go waaaaaaay back to ATS, then Hernando's Hideaway to Rogue Nation -- all 3 versions, as @Sol mentioned. Haha
She was the one who wanted to 'play in the back and push all the buttons' without hesitation
While I was the cautious one, leery of breaking something.
We actually met years ago on a thread over at ATS, when someone was bullying her over her use of memes.
To which, I defended Mrs.G and the both of us kindly, but effectively, turned the tables on the bully to where they finally stop messing with Guohua.
And that was the start of our very long and wonderful friendship
But she kept her cancer from me.
No, I did not know
That was how Guohua was tho, she didn't want other people to worry about her.
To be honest, she was worried about you, Rick, than herself in our talks .... and that was her way
So when @"Sol" sent me an email, letting me know about her passing, you could have hit me in the head with a 2x4
I had no clue, it came out of left field.
And left me numb
I myself haven't been right since my late husband was diagnosed with dementia back in 2016 and we had to retire from the road. Our life changed overnight.
My days spent here became fewer and fewer.
(working 2 jobs suck!!)
But Guohua would always know just when to reach out to me, and her tug pulled me back here.
Then real life would rear it's ugly head, and again I would disappear.
Guohua was an incredible soul, a dear friend that I will never, ever forget
I loved her so much and will miss her
All the comments here are on target describing Guohua.
She welcomed everybody and made them feel at home.
Yes, she did love her memes and emojis
And the whip, well, that will always make me chuckle and smile
Rick, please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you, your step- daughter and your family
Guohua will always be with you, always
If you need anything, do not hesitate to reach out
And to the Rogue members, please know, that NOTHING is gonna change.
Rogue Nation will keep on going as if she were on one of her fishing trips, out shooting guns .... just an extended trip
She wanted a place where people could come and relax, bullshit with one another, have debates without worrying about being kicked out or shunned.
And that is the way it will remain.
Just a bunch of Rogues, hanging out having a good time
May you rest in peace my friend
You will be missed
Stay strong Rick
We are here for you
