Of course you have the right, grieving rights don't exist....you feel what you feel.x
There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you.
But there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself.
I aint no abacus but you can count on me.
It's funny how much impact someone online can have on you so I really agree with Liv.
My contact with Rich as I said before was limited and wrote a rather hurried message on here. One of the last contacts I had with Rich regarded me editing one of his posts and it was with some trepidation I opened my PM from him regarding it! I read to find a lovely PM and whilst he didn't agree he could see why I had taken the action it took me very much by surprise and made me chuckle and we then had a lovely PM convo!
I guess what I'm trying to say was at times he was a mod's nightmare but equally he was a huge character on RYL and one whose presence and posts I will really miss.

I think the chat for him is a lovely idea, I never use chat and I didn't know him but my thoughts will be with you all.
The more I read about him, the more I think I really would have liked him! Gutted I never got the chance to know him. Imagine the trouble we could have caused together!
I have a lot of feelings about you going away Richard. First and foremost, I don't remember the last time we talked. Your death has been plaguing in my mind since I found out but today I woke up and I shattered in tears.
I remember you wittiness, but mostly the nights you listen to my ramblings and my feelings although you had a lot to deal with.
I consider you distant family from Australia.
This hurts exactly how losing a family feels.
Despite whatever anyone else thinks in this thread... you were an amazing person. I like you a lot... I would say even love because I remember you play songs to me on skype to just distract whatever was in our heads.
Richard, you are forever remembered as beautiful man.
The pain of losing Richard hurts, it sits on my mind and pops into every day. And even though others are hurting too, it's comforting to see how many lives he touched. He was a special soul.

I truly will miss a lot.
I'm so sorry for your loss, these words about Richard are beautiful. Remember we're here for you.
I've just seen this. I'm sorry for any of you guys who were close to him. I've seen Richard around the board a lot over the years and exchanged some PMs. Holy crap he could be blunt! But I never believed that bluntness was malicious and I have an inordinate amount of respect for him for his honesty. Take care of yourself chat folks and those who knew him personally.
****, I used to chat with that guy sometimes in the chat. I never really knew him, but I always liked to speak with him there. He was a great guy. I haven't been on here in ages so i haven't spoken with him in a long time. This is really sad to hear. Rest in peace abintra.
Abandon hope, ye pitiful ones. Embrace defiance and relent another day.
I will create a room for Richard at 9pm UK time running until midnight UK time. Hopefully that will give people enough time to come in and out. I will be saving a chat log, if other people could do the same that would be great in case I get kicked.
Thanks.

Sat outside in the garden, my chest feels so tight & weighed down. I miss him so badly.
The third butterfly has just flown by me, even my family noticed there's lots of butterflies today. Talking with my family about Richard & how good he was to me. I really hurt today - hurt for his family & for his friends & for everyone here but mostly for him, because I wish I could've encouraged & supported him even a tenth of what he did for me.

I know we've got a little while left but, just because this chat will close & we will keep moving through our grief....I will never forget you Richard, & what you've taught me.
There is a light & it never goes out & that is you, my friend.
Lovely words Chelsea. I was going to come here and give a warning to anyone with something negative to say about Richard or those grieving for him, but I'll be kind. They just need to know that I don't have to be kind and fully have it in my capability to be cruel.
