In memory of the Kanga

Welcome a newbie on Sunday. That's always been Tawny's suggestion.

In memory of The Kanga




How can he be gone? It’s beyond comprehension. Tawny, my heart is bleeding for you. There are simply no words to tell you how sorry I am. I am just sick. Pink, thank you for sharing him with us, your Steve. I’m so very sorry you have lost this special, special man.

To all of us at MWO as our keyboards flood with tears, mine included, I’m reminded of how unfair life can be. Why this? Why now? Why him? He was serving his country. He was loaded with talent, intelligence and humor and he was generous about sharing all of it. He brought such joy to us. How can we lose someone that special? There are no answers. There’s only anger, confusion and pain.

I didn’t know him very well, although I suspect after the hurt is over he’d encourage us to laugh. To enjoy one another. And to live on.

As fsophia suggests--and as Tawny does regularly, quietly, generously--I agree we should each consider conducting a random act of kindness on his behalf. Here or at home. An unexpected, unsolicited something. It’s a fitting tribute to our Kanga who brought so much to so many. Perhaps we can think of a way to create a permanent memorial to him here on the board. But like most of you probably, right now it’s too close, too raw, and too early to figure out anything.

How remarkable, our Kanga. Do you remember how he appeared? He showed up like no other and now that’s how he’s left us.

Kanga, wherever you are, we love you.

I did not know The Kanga, but I have come across his hilarious posts many times. Only yesterday morning I was in fits laughing at his 'cheesy poem thread'. My heart goes out to all of you that built up close friendships with him here at MWO.

I think we should all petition God and get the Kanga back. We need him.

I have just spent a very tearful morning reading over all the Kanga posts. He will be sorely missed.

Can I just say, I agree with something that was said on one of these threads, can't remember who or where but it stuck in my head. It's as if he knew.

Yes, I think he knew too.

I said the same thing to my husband.......I said, "it seems as though he somehow must have known, I can see it in his posts." I thought maybe it was a crazy thing to think, but now that I see I'm not the only one........

I just found out about Kanga on the mods board. I am in tears over the loss of this sweet man. I really like Roberta's suggestion about a random act of kindness in memory of Kanga. I am going to do mine now . . .

I have thought of this wonderful man all day. His posts made me want to run to the nearest Quantas office and book a ticket to Oz. What intelligent humour he had!!!
I (who did not know him) will miss him. I can't imagine how difficult this must be for those of you who knew him well. My deepest sympathy to you.

How about a day of abs on the first of December in fond memory of THE Kanga? Or, for those who want to extend the gesture, the first of each month? It can be known as Kanga Day. THE Kanga can be the patron saint of MWO.
