missing table part2

[buckybill]

at lunch today i read the responses to my thread and some that were on other threads. the reason for my response to the table is this my girlfriend(who i love to death) lost her husband 10 years ago by being hit by a garbage truck and passing away in a hospice hospital.(she was the one who had to sign the papers to terminate life support) i came on the picture almost 2 years later moved in to the house that her and her husband had bought together along with everything else that her family hadn't taken or his friends hadn't taken. so not much was left of value, but me being a family is important type of person i made sure that everything of there's stayed where it was and didn't get rid of anything until she was ready for it to go. we got new cell phones about four years ago (combining phones to make it cheaper on us) that meant that the voicemail that had her husbands voice on it would be gone forever, so i tried everything to get it off until she said to let it go. with that being said some of you just think it's a stupid table and that i shouldn't be so wroked up over it, well when i got up the next morning and looked in my buddies truck and saw it was not there my heart dropped thinking i had failed to preserve something that was her and her husbands. even though she said it was all right i still appologized all the way home for losing it. it wasn't her fault that it didn't get into the right truck, and would never yell at her for that. it was my fault for not looking before we left the field, but i was tired and ready to go back to the hotel so i got lazy. so call it what you will whining, not politically correct, whatever i don't care it just shows the true sides of some folks on here and i will do whatever it takes to make that girl happy whether it be a new diamond ring or a beat up ol card table. with that said i bid you good night.

and michael thanks for the offer of the express but i talked it over with teresa and she said it wasn't worth the trouble. so keep the table and apply it to your needs.


thanks

Well said... Hopefully the table will turn up soon... I know how hard it is to try and keep things close from loved ones that have passed that have " little or no" meaning to the outside world... Let me know if you need any help

Bill - for what its worth a lot of the guys on there were just giving you a hard time. I made a couple of comments but put smileys on them letting you know I was just kidding. I figured you were tired and something was going on for that long of a thread about the table.

I know one day I was having a bad day and posted a thread trying to help out some folks. well next thing I know I am getting razzed by a few on here and it didn't set well. next day I had an apology and realized the brothers were just having as little fun I just took it wrong. 99.9 percent of folks on here are really good people.

if we would have known the table was sentimental and had that history I assure you the majority of responses would have been different. hope that helps.

Point is, table turned up, as most knew it would.
And said table meant more than what it's worth.
Just get table back, and realize that this is also quiet a tight and loving family, that would never steal anything from each other.

I gotta say, Im impressed with your caring attitude towards her feelings. I might get razzed for being soft but it takes guts to post that and I wish yall the best.

If I had the power to get that table to you buddy I would try my best. I'm sure it will find its way back home.

Bill, with due respect (and I do respect you for sharing your story, and taking such care to honor of your wife's emotional feelings), the point of the previous posts was that you implied that the table had been stolen by one of our members. Anybody familiar with Bownanza knew, even before it was resolved, that theft was the LEAST LIKELY scenario. I don't think anybody was devaluing the lost table - even not considering any sentimental value).

Perhaps it should have been said with a little less wit and sarcasm, which doesn't often translate over the Internet.

Worst case, we'll get it back to you at next Bownanza!
