How dare you try to have a life outside of Home and this community. You stop that right now and get back to editing.

Or don’t. Walk away, knowing that you’ve made a huge difference in a lot of lives and earned yourself the chance to look after your own and your son’s for a change. Because you have. Your legacy lives not just in these pages, but in all of the lives that you touched through HSM, in those writers who you nurtured and encouraged and who, like you, will go on to do great things while carrying the lessons of our shared experience here.

Thanks for that, and don’t be a stranger.

Melissa, Congratulations on your new job and hope the best for it and they will be privilege in having you in their team, as you put it well on the article as every beginning has an ending, as great it has been through out the years it has to have an ending point, if it is by you ending it to a certain degree due to your real life and personal choice or by the program ending itself. Do know about kids and how it can be similar as they come to age and you make changes based on it. Changes are good and bad in different ways, but you make the best out of it. So many things you must do to make things happen.
Its been very admirable on your dedication on what you have accomplished on HSM and Lockwood, you’ve done so much for the Home Community and many know and have seen the impact of it.
Even thou it an ending phase part of your life, it does not mean it is something long gone for good, glad Jason is there as a big part of your life and you always will reminisce on how you got to know each other, and same will go to many you’ve met through out the years and those fun memories in this great community, in which will be cherished for a long time coming.
It was great to have met you last year at E3 and to have the the chance to plan things with you for the Home Community.

Really hot here in SoCal. I have the fan on me and it has made my eyes water- Yeah thats why..

I think back to all the meetings and Podcasts and messages sent and I have always been so proud of the contributions and sacrifices you have made for the way you live. Your life story. You are a survivor but more than that you’re a very old soul who knows the love of a little boy. Your son is your Home. So amazing that journey.

Our virtual playground has allowed me to meet someone who has guided me and reminded me that women are to be respected and loved. (or face the blade) lol.
Home has a give and take about it and it has only prospered by having you in it. I have a brotherly love for everything you are. Jason on the other hand well… He loves you. If you two ever need a Mt. Olympus getaway.. /hugs

Wishing you all the best in whatever is to come next. Whoever you work for next will be blessed by your dedication and honesty. Your son is also blessed to have a mom who puts him first, these years are precious ones and go too fast. Thanks for all the hard work and for your passion for Home and this magazine, you will be missed.

;^) Raising your son will be an adventure in its own right. Each year of his life will be a different flavor of special, and once gone, will not return again. Be sure to treasure each one while you can.

Congratulations on the new job, but also congratulations on all that you have done here. I know how insanely hard you have worked, but more than that It has been a pleasure to work with you and I’m happy to call you a friend.

It is as simple as this: you did things the right way. You helped a lot of people, away from the public spotlight. You never asked for anything in return. You are one of only a *very* small handful of community users who became Home developers. And you walked away on your own terms, after having achieved everything that could be achieved.

You won the game of Home, Melissa.

Thank you for everything you did, both here and throughout Home. No one will ever know just how much time and work you put in. I’m personally grateful for all the help you’ve given, particularly since I know just how much stuff you juggle in real life.

I love you. And your new job is *really* exciting. It’s awesome to see good things happen to good people, and you *earned* your success. Thank you for everything you gave.
