Mensa

He always made me smile with his posts.

I miss that smile.

i dont know what i can possibley say on this thread you all knew him way more then me but i read a lot of his posts and he was kind to me and he pm'd me when i first joined literotica to help me settle in here

i know hes had periods of being away from literotica before but i guess all those were planned


just wanted to say hes a very sweet guy and i hope he is able to come back here and tell us we're all stupid for worrying

I don't know exactly what Mensa was dealing with. I remember something about it being his heart.

Mensa's last thread about his heart condition:

This one is more like Mensa's style: humor and wit. The last thread in which I was able to joke with him.

I hope heaven is full of cats.

I sit here reading this, and everything in me is wishing that you all are wrong. I feel such a deep sadness, a heaviness in my heart, and I can feel the bile rising in my throat. I haven't spoken with Mensa since just before my trip to the U.K. , just before his angioplasty. We kidded about bed baths and foley catheters. He always had a way of making me smile, and touching my heart with his kindness. I feel sick.

For Mensa's special friend, my thoughts are with you, and know that many here loved him and grieve with you. If Mensa has passed on ,then this board will forever be deprived of a wonderful, funny and caring person.

I love you my friend.

I just think this needs to be back on page one again.

I was not blessed with the chance to get to know Mensa, but the quality of his spirit shines clearly through your words of concern.
I will pray that he is well, and extend my sympathy for those who mourn his absence.

I'm glad I was the familiar face that welcomed him back after a previous absence. Maybe some day...

I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. cym and Mensa's friend are exactly right...

This is how he wanted it. I know him a bit better than many here myself - including his real first name and some other stuff... but not as well as the person that cym is quoting.

Things are the way he wants them to be. We all need to respect that. He set certain boundries and limitations and has his own reasons for doing so.

When I had my own health problems a few months ago he and I started our own little two person support group and checked up on each other every couple of days. I felt almost embarrassed doing so - his condition being so much more severe than my own. It was cym who had the idea that the two of us should talk and get to know each other.

He's a great guy. Even when he was down and hurting he continued to inquire about how I was doing. He maintained his sense of humor, sense of compassion and an incredible courage throughout.

He never gave up, he never gave in. He continued on day by day doing the best he could and he never stopped caring for and taking care of his family and friends and loved ones.

I continue to hope for and believe in the best. But whatever the circumstances are, and what we know or don't know about them are the way he wishes it.

Whether he returns to us here at Lit or not, I will always remember him as a friend.

This is a PM that just came to me from the person who is so close to him:
The point EVERYONE is missing is that he did not want anyone to know his personal info. He did not want a way to keep in touch, he did not want his on-line life spilling over into his real life. To go searching goes against everything Mensa was.

[cym], don't you think I'm frustrated too? I lost the only person I could cut loose around. To see [the people in the thread, people who care for him] dissect this like some mystery du jour is killing me. Every tiny crumb I got from [Mensa] was after days spent slowly getting to know each other. I can tell you his greatest fears and joys, but I don't know his surname or the town he lived in. That anonynimity was the reason he could open up as much as he did. I accepted that and everything it entailed, that is why we had the relationship we did.

I'm sorry, but I can't help hunt for him. He would never forgive me.

Let's hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

All I know is that I greatly miss Mensa and his PM's which always made me smile and were like a big cyber hug.

Halo

~bumping this so more of us have the chance to see...to hear...to cease wondering...and to begin to say goodbye~

 

[YogiBare]

I continue to pray for Mensa's safe return.

 

[Calamity Jane]

I came back after being gone for the weekend, and found this. I cried the whole way through the thread...

I've had thoughts that he wasn't coming back since he said they couldn't do the operation they'd intended to do. I don't want to acknowledge them, don't want them to be real, but I believe that he's gone... from us, or from this life, I don't know.

Mensa, you were a true friend to me. You made me laugh when I needed to, and listened to me when laughing wasn't an option. I can't count the number of times you'd post something, or send me a PM at just the right moment to keep me from slipping. I adore you, and I'll remember you with a smile for a very long time.

I know that you wanted to just not be here anymore if there was no way to get back. I knew you wouldn't come back and say good bye, even if that was an option. I respect that, and I only hope you know how many people you touched, and how much many of us loved you.

[Rambling Rose]

Yeah.

This black kitten found us last night and keeps following me around. He won't let me leave the room. Everytime I see this thread I think of Mensa and the awful yet hysterical things he said about cats and I find myself smiling and my eyes watering at the same time. I didn't want this little monster but I may just have to keep him anyway.

I've successfully resisited the urge to call it Mensa. I think somewhere I've earned some hefty points for that one.

Damn. And that is just what I was going to suggest you name it! Just think how many times you'd smile over the years when your cat did something you know Mensa would crack a joke about. He'd appreciate the humor, and the namesake.

 

[april-wine]

If nothing else, Mensa is in a much better place....Of that I have no doubt...........

I guess we won't be going over the falls in a barrel.....

Peace my friend.......

Yesterday Chey told me she was gonna go buy and plant some forget-me-not's in Mensa's honor.

Today i copied her.

I like them.

They're out in the front of my yard, near my front steps, and i smile when i see them - just as Mensa made me smile time and time again to see him here.

 

[Svedish_Chef]

I just kick the fake cat outside the front door, just as rewarding.

 

[Guest]

I do miss you.

You're actually ahead of me- my regular garden center didn't have any forget-me-nots left when I got there yesterday. I will find them though, and even try to remember to water them so they last longer than most of the flowers I plant.

Now THAT is the true spirit of the man! I too, will have forget me nots in the garden in his memory. It is so sad to see the passing of any friend, but one who had the wit and charm of Mensa without being pompious will be especially missed.

May God hold you in the shadow of His wing, and bring you to that land where there is no suffering, but only joy, my friend.

I don't know what to say ... I'm sorry and I'll always miss you Mensa.

Love you
