Mel's last night on St. Thomas...
Robin wrote such a beautiful note to the Island Solmates - her words voice my sentiments exactly, but I didn't think "ditto" would quite convey the enormous gratitude and love I feel for the Solmates, my roommates, and the friends I've met on these islands.

It is a rare thing, maybe an island thing, a small-town thing, to find a community of people so willing to drop what they're doing to help you feel welcome, settled, and loved. From buying and selling our cars, to finding homes and jobs and a good crowd
of people to spend our time with - it all happened via personal interactions, because of the empathy, comraderie, and compassion of the people here.

So thank you all - I love you so much, I feel so blessed to have met you and spent time with you! I know I'll see you all again sometime!

In the meantime, well, there's facebook.
