Y'all are right about Coach ~ he's amazing. Glad I got that straight before it was too late
I'm happy for both of you that you did figure it out.
And best of luck on being Retrouvaille counselors; may you bring help and healing to many more people.

And my heartfelt thanks to a man who selflessly gave so much of himself and who (unlike me!) says the best and the most and with an enviable economy of words.
You've enriched lives.
All the best,

Well, I waited a whole night (patient me!) before posting the obvious. This must be a test!
So, I'd guess we gotta apply DB principles. We'll detach, GAL, go dark, in lovingly NC, but appreciative and validating, maybe even do a Gucci and start "seeing" other vets here. Sooner or later, Coach will be curious and start popping by again. And if not, we'll all be stronger persons and emerge better anyway. We'll handle it.
Tongue planted FIRMLY in cheek.

Haven't 'spoke' with you, but have read many of your posts. Thank you for the wisdom & insight. All the best for you [and everybody on the board] in '10.
