Know THIS: Kephra & Andy Are SMILING Today

[matcom]

and that makes me VERY happy!

[MuseRider]

1. 180 would also

be thrilled. I pictured my brother being happy, mostly today because he simply detested Rummy more than anyone else. They may be gone but they are still in our hearts and each of them assisted us in this win.

[conscious evolution]

2. That is,without a doubt, the

biggest understatement I have seen on this board today.
Smiling? Where ever they are they are whoopin it up bigtime today:bounce: :toast: :party: O8)

21. You are very welcome

Jeff's Question W will actually come to be after January.

When I couldn't get on the internets yesterday, I went through some of my files I'd forgotten. There were graphics I'd created for the Question W site.

After the Dems take their new seats in the House and the Senate...

7. Maybe others are having the same problem I am

Matcom, I have tried to type an answer serveral times and keep coming up...choked. Keph got sober and angry six years ago; I wish I could see his joyful posts in response to today. And the glee nostamj would have taken in putting together a celebratory toon thread...and now I can't go on, the words won't flow. Just a quiet smile and a tear in the left-hand corners of my eyes.

8. Keph had a WONDERFUL smile

i met him when we went to DC to protest in October of '02. He was there.

shit-eating-grin from ear to ear

post with honor. Keph would have wanted it that way. do no mourn. celebrate.

do it for Keph

:hug:

16. Departed DUers will get a toast from that bottle of champagne I bought today

Hey, how could I NOT buy a bottle? this is the way I had hoped I feel two years ago!

[karlrschneider]

9. I haven't been able to think of anything to say. So

[bobbolink]

10. I would much rather they were all here, celebrating *with* us,

but, yes, I think they're probably partying together!

:hi:

[VelmaD]

11. When Blackwell and Harris went down...

I could hear Andy's big ol' belly laugh coming down from heaven. :)

Gods I still miss him.

[bobbolink]

13. yanno, hadn't thought of that, but that must have been what I was hearing!

:hi:

[GreenPartyVoter]

12. I like to think they were keeping an eye on things for us.

[greatauntoftriplets]

17. I am sure they are....

Damn, I think of Andy every day, many times.

[Generic Other]

18. Our fallen brothers-in-arms

20. God bless and keep them both. n/t

[carolinayellowdog]

22. Their love sustains us today (nostamj included)

So many wonderful DUers poured out so much positive energy to sustain us for so many years in the darkness. Probably the number of DUers who have passed on is now in the thousands. THANKS TO YOU ALL, LOVE AND LIGHT.

[NNadir]

23. Good to remember them. I wish they could see it.

[Demonaut]

24. fond thoughts, Kephra was a Machine in LBN

I know Andy is laughing at the douche bags at FR who are eating their own

[GregW]

25. Raising a glass to all our fallen comrades

:beer:

And to that great weekend in DC four years ago...

[Maeve]

26. kick it back up!

:kick:

[SeattleGirl]

27. You know they are!

They've been strongly on my mind since yesterday morning, and I am so, so happy we got this win, and so thankful for what these two men did for the DU community, and the national community at large.
