This thoughtful email arrived from Gary right during the "recent mess" that was happening. Gary's kindness and thoughtfulness touched me in 'deep places' and I've wanted to share this with you all. Seems to me, he has something to share with each one of us.
As often is quipped, wisdom does and can come with "the Gift of Aging" and hopefully we can all learn from your shared experiences. Please remember Gary in your thoughts and prayers these days. I learned from "out of somewhere" that he is going thru some more of his "own life experiences" with added "unsought life experiences".

G'day JustinO,
Remember that little kid who rode his trike around the veranda? He's long gone now, left behind as JustinO grew older. So is the JustinO of a few years ago who started the Dunes. The older, more mature JustinO is a different person these days, with different priorities and interests. That's the way life works. Nothing stays the same.
Mind you, it's a little different for us older blokes. We tend to remain the same for longer. And when change does occur, which it inevitably does, it's less frequent and apparent.
So if you're feeling a little guilty about losing interest in the Dunes, or simply have too many other things on your plate to spare the time, don't. Moving on is part of life.
Gary
THANKS, GARY.
