		<description>Wow, Elden, you said it well.  I am happy you were able to move into happiness in life.  I&#039;m glad you didn&#039;t continue to wear the mourner&#039;s attitude long past its time. I am still gradually catching up on reading your blogs, so I don&#039;t know if you and the Runner are still together, but either way, you are moving on in a healthy way.  Thank you for letting people into your life and your thought process.</description>

		<description>Fatty, 
I have been coming to read your blog since the day after Susan passed. Unfortunately I never knew your blog existed until that day when one of my coworkers posted on Facebook that Susan had passed. 

I am VERY happy that you have found happiness and as my 15 year old son just said &quot;his kids need him happy!&quot; Couldn&#039;t have put it better than myself!!!  

You and your beautiful children deserve it! As does The Runner!</description>

		<description>I&#039;m glad you&#039;re feeling good again.  Life is too short to be unhappy just because other people think you should.  

For whatever reason, your post reminds me of your best cake ever post.  

Simple pleasures, I suppose.  :)

		<description>You more than deserve to be happy Fatty since you have made many of us laugh over the years. Oh, and I still wear all my Fat Cyclist jerseys with pride...but never with shants...that would be to hip. LiveStrong brutha!</description>

		<description>To each their own.  No one could ever understand your own life completely but you.   Certainly, the one who loved you most in life, would want you to continue to love life!</description>

		<description>Hi Fatty,

I&#039;ve never commented on your blog before, but felt impressed to do so today.

Your falling in love and finding happiness so quickly after the death of your wife is actually a testament to her. Did you know that happily married men who lose their wives are more like to find another happy relationship very quickly after the death of the wife then do unhappily married men? Well it&#039;s true. Research shows this and I know what I&#039;m talking about because I&#039;m a psychologist.

I also found your explanation of why you are happy to be incredibly insightful and honest. You do have a right to be happy, particularly after such a protracted good-bye. Revel in this new found love and happiness. You deserve it above no other.</description>

		<description>Despite the tremendous pain you and your family have gone through, life goes on...you need to remember that and so do your children.</description>
