Sometimes you have to leave

This will be my last blog post here at Wealthy Affiliate? I sit here with a lot of feelings and emotions, but mostly sadness. I wanted to express my thanks and gratitude to everyone here, so I have to write this.

I joined WA January 3rd this year and today is June 2nd. I have been here 5 months. I started at 373,000 plus some, and today I am number 35. Maybe I did not do so bad.
I love to laugh, joke and play, I am a big cut up. I have said for years, when I get to heaven I have one question to ask God. The question is this. "God, why did you make roaches, rats, spiders and snakes?"
In reality, there is a question I do want to ask God, but it is not that one. The REAL question I want to ask is this. "God, Did I Make A Difference In Anyone's Life?"
I have written about 10 blogs and they were all written with the intentions of helping Community. I think I have been more successful writing my blogs, than I have been with my website. I chose a hard Niche, but it is the one most important to me. I still feel what I post on my site is most needed in todays society.
My understanding is that my blogs will still be here at WA when I am gone. That gives me some satisfaction. I do hope it will make a difference in someone's life for the better!
I was probably the dumbest NEWBIE ever to hit WA. I know I had to run people crazy with questions. Many people deserve a star in their crown for putting up with me. I made new friends and I have always said, "Community is my extended Family."
I had friends who took me under their wing and trained me. They gave me their valuable time when they should have been spending time with their families. They sacrificed their time for me instead of working on their own websites, then apologized for not giving me more time.
WHAT PRICE COULD YOU EVER PUT ON THAT?
I bothered Support so much with mistakes, they put my picture on their wall. I am number 1 on their: 10 Most Unwanted List. If I had to submit a ticket, they said, "Oh NO, not him again." So I made a different kind of difference in their lives--Ha Ha!
I cannot start to explain what all and how much I have learned. I came to WA at one of the lowest points in my life and I was accepted. I felt I was valuable and part of something far bigger than myself. No one can fully understand how much that has meant to me.
I am older, age 65. Everyone wants to succeed, and so do I. To me, there are some things more valuable and important than a website and a successful business. I found that in the Community at WA. Community is my kind of people, PAY IT FORWARD.
I don't know how to say, "Thank you enough" to MY COMMUNITY! How do I thank you for making a real difference in my life? Giving me hope, friendship and fellowship. Thank you for giving me your time, gifts, talents and training. This is what I am taking with me.
This is what has really meant the most, to an old man like me. I only hope I made a little difference to Wealthy Affiliate and my Family here.
Due to circumstance beyond my control, I have to leave Wealthy Affiliate. I have already transferred my domain to a new host. I will be closing my account here very soon. I want to say, "It had been a GREAT HONOR, to be part of the Wealthy Affiliate Community. You mean more to me than you will ever know. I will never forget you.
God Bless You All
