A quick note about my thoughts on Adam and his absence.
It seems to me that when Adam is active on the forum, he pours his heart and soul into EVERY post. And that's not just the CDR- that's giving support and advice to people with tortoise questions on other threads.
And in the CDR he reads EVERY.SINGLE.POST., and responds to many. That is a MASSIVE commitment of time, energy and heart. It really is like a full time job but with much more heartfelt connection.
It is BECAUSE of his immersion in the CDR that it has become what it has. The people who resonate with his thoughts, feelings and style come and stay, and make it such a wonderful place.
When anyone, not just Adam, puts that kind of energy into something, then other parts of your life get left aside. And sooner or later you get a bit burnt out.
He takes breaks, as well he should. It doesn't mean he doesn't care. It just means he needs to pull away and reset.
Of course we miss him.
But he'll be back when the time is right for him. I hope it's before September (his birthdays month) but it will be what he needs. And we want him back as Our Adam: not as someone laboring under the burden of obligation, but as someone participating with joy.
So we carry on (in more ways than one!!!
) and enjoy this lovely little world that is the CDR.
love and hugs to all, Bea/ Mooz

So well said Bea. I agree completely. He’ll be back when he’s good and ready.

And now I must disappear for a short while. Easter eggs don’t buy themselves... and my children are still not too old for a treat from Mum
(And JoesDad is starting to sulk that I haven’t bought him one either )

Thank you Linda. Your hugs are appreciated.Oh no! How sad
More massive electronic hugs from me to you. I am so sorry Sabine [emoji22]
I give one of them to Monty.Thank you Lena for your kind words. I love this crazy tomcat and I will do all I can for his health.Oh no, this is so sad. Hugs, Bee. Spoil him. Cats want to feel loved, especially when sick. You’re the best cat mom he could ever wish for.
No, he has no pain, yet. He is still good eating and active like a 13 year old cat is. I am watching him closely.
I agree with you Bea. Adam hasn`t forgotten us, he only needs a rest and we should carry on like you`ve said.A quick note about my thoughts on Adam and his absence.

We still miss him though. But Yes, a person does need a break every now and then. BBBUUUUUTTTT........I feel very sorry for Adam, because he is going to have a serious amount of catching up to do. (Even though he is very good at catching up.)A quick note about my thoughts on Adam and his absence.
