While I've grown weary of the battles so prevalent on wiki, and become somewhat private in my efforts here - there are a few very good people (like yourself) that I cherish deeply. To know I've touched someone in a positive way means more to me than I could say with words. Your own gift of friendship puts you in some very rare company of the folks I know here. Thank you so much. <a href="/wiki/User:Ched" title="User:Ched">— Ched</a> (<a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#top">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ched#c-Ched-2022-01-08T08:54:00.000Z-ARoseWolf-2022-01-06T16:43:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:54, 8 January 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Ched-2022-01-08T08:54:00.000Z-ARoseWolf-2022-01-06T16:43:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Ched-2022-01-08T08:54:00.000Z-ARoseWolf-2022-01-06T16:43:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-ARoseWolf-2022-01-17T18:59:00.000Z-Ched-2022-01-08T08:54:00.000Z"></span>The highest honor I could hope to achieve is being called friend. I'm overly private about most details but I probably share more than I should. Still, its a genuine attempt to relate and be related with. No matter what we do as humans we are always trying to maintain relevance. You matter to this encyclopedia and the community as an important part of it. This idea that a human's unique POV in their approach to how things are written here doesn't matter is rubbish. NPOV doesn't mean we all have to see things the same way. Yours is a beautiful view of things and I appreciate you. --<a href="/wiki/User:ARoseWolf" title="User:ARoseWolf"><span style="color:#b76e79"><b>A</b></span><span style="color:#be4f60"><b>Rose</b></span></a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:ARoseWolf" title="User talk:ARoseWolf"><span style="color:#b87333"><b>Wolf</b></span></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ched#c-ARoseWolf-2022-01-17T18:59:00.000Z-Ched-2022-01-08T08:54:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">18:59, 17 January 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-ARoseWolf-2022-01-17T18:59:00.000Z-Ched-2022-01-08T08:54:00.000Z"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-ARoseWolf-2022-01-17T18:59:00.000Z-Ched-2022-01-08T08:54:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <dl><dd><dl><dd><dl><dd><a href="/wiki/User:ARoseWolf" title="User:ARoseWolf"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Ched-2022-01-19T12:00:00.000Z-ARoseWolf-2022-01-17T18:59:00.000Z"></span>ARoseWolf</a> First my apologies for the delay in my reply - health and weather issues haven't been the best.
