Goodbye from MU to you!

I honestly did not know what I was getting into when I signed up for this crazy experience (experiment). I knew I could grow a beard, so I had that covered, but that was about it.

It took me some time "get into" this whole experience, but I soon found the more I put into it the more meaningful it would be. And let me say, it has been memorable and truly unforgettable. I have been daily astounded by so much greatness each of you has brought to this site.

This experience has for me been one of family and has strengthened that bond even tighter for the loved ones you see here. I thank them for their (mostly) happy participation!

It has also been one of brotherhood. Even though I know few of you truly well in the usual sense, I do feel like I know you as you have shared yourself with me and have allowed me to share myself and my family with you over these last four months.

I count each of you as brothers and will miss each of you!

MU

Fofe says:: It's been a pleasure meeting you and your family both on the site and in person. You have a truly awesome beard that really shines in this kind of event. One of the quotes that I'll remember is yours from yesterday...

"When this is all over...

I will be tending to skinned knees and snotty noses

...and it will be EPIC."

Well said! Whiskerino is not about replacing anything in our lives, but really finding that focus and community that can enrich it.

All the best to you and your family.

mu says:: @Fofe YOU NAILED IT!!!! This was a gift I was not looking for but did truly find through all of this. I won't ever forget your quote, this is just so so true:

"Whiskerino is not about replacing anything in our lives, but really finding that focus and community that can enrich it." - this sums it up like nothing else, just perfect!

mattyc says:: you family is really really awesome and it is an inspiration for me to watch a guy much older than myself play with his kids as if he were a kid. I know we only get brief glimpses into one another's lives on here but i can tell you are a great father and that your kids not only love you dearly but they are your freinds too and love playing with you... Hell i'd love playing with you too. you gots cool toys. It was fun watching you get into the website and really make the most of it. and you rule.

Take care, my friend. Stay cool.
