When I first started chatting in BBW-SS,I was new to the whole chat scene. I made friends easily just by being myself.Because of this I was soon asked to be an Op.Upon accepting I became fairly close to a lot of the other Ops but there were 2 that I felt especially close to.
You-nique (Teresa Boren) was the founder of the room.A lot of us affectionately called her MOM because she laid down the rules & made sure they were followed!Those that didn't could very likely feel her wrath.Not that she was always a stern demanding mother figure,she had other sides to her too.She was a very loving,caring person.If possible she'd give you the shirt off her back when someone was in need.She also had her fun side.Many times you might think she was mad at you about something just to see her start to laugh.She created BBW-SS as a friendly haven for all.Even though it says BBW-Supersize,all are welcome as long as respect is shown to others.Even though she is gone,the room continues on in her honor as a tribute to her loving spirit.I still love you Mom & always will!
The second lady I felt a true kinship with was pumpkiN^ (Sherri Gregory).
I call the ladies of the room my "Sisters" but Sherri was the first.We hit it off from the first day we talked.When I became an Op,she took me under her wing & helped me learn just what an Op was & how to handle those who didn't want to "play" by the rules.As many of you know I sometimes call myself the official unofficial shrink for the room.There were many times that Sherri & I talked when she was feeling down because of health or personal issues.We had many long talks.I know I didn't solve her problems but I gave her an outsider's view so she could talk & think things out.The last few times she was in the hospital,I even called her to check & see how she was coming along.I don't make long distance calls that often but it was worth it just to hear the joy in her voice,knowing I thought enough of her to call.I miss you Sis & you'll always have a place in my heart!
These 2 ladies may be gone but through all the memories good & bad they'll never be forgotten.I can feel them still with me especially when in the room.They're watching us from the BBW-SS chat room in the sky & they're holding a place for us to meet & chat when our time comes.BBW-SS has 2 very special angels watching over us.They were taken from us too soon.I love them both just as I love all my "family" in the room. |
