A Note From Tom – A Time For A Change

 

Folks, it has been a fun and wonderful trip with Scared Monkeys but the time for me to move on is upon us.

Scared Monkeys has matured from a small political blog to the premier missing person’s site on the internet. This is a great thing, but it just is not my thing. Thank God that Red and Klaasend have such an over-riding passion for the topic and each and every individual case that they can make the amazing personal investment of time and passion.

Unfortunately, due to other demands of life I am unable to make these same commitments. One lesson every bloggers knows is that write daily for a site takes a huge amount of passion and dedication. Once that passion is gone, bloggers learn to head out the door gracefully.

So to all the people who have read us and supported us, you have my heartfelt thanks. I ask that you give the same support to Red as he continues his quest for victims rights and those that life has dealt a rough hand.

So today I bid goodbye. Thanks you Scared Monkeys and all of it’s readers, you will always have a place in my heart.

God Bless.

Tom

      Goodnight, Tom. Changes come, life is full of changes. You are and have always been very nice to all and for that everyone is grateful. Walk out into the sunlight. Breathe deep. I hope this dissolution will not hamper a near-life-long friendship. Perhaps a great political blog is in your future. Best wishes in whatever you do. Again, goodnight and best wishes, Tom. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow.

      An artist told me once that the hardest part is to stop when it is finished.

      Moving on goes like this: The old group says “There he goes.” The new group says, “Here he comes.” Life’s like that.

    23. sharon on July 5th, 2007 8:57 am

      Thank you Tom.

      Thanks, Tom, for starting SM. Sometimes you never know what direction something as a blog might follow. This blog turned into a fantastic place for Missing people. You have helped to make a difference in many lives. I bid you farewell and make sure you stop in to say hi when you think of us. We are still your family even if you are not here on a daily basis. Best of Luck to you! It has been a great ride!
