Hi everyone
I would just like to say goodbye to everyone. Eamon and I have decided to part ways permanently, and we will be moving out of our house soon. It is unsure yet as to whether Eamon will move back to Geelong or stay in Adelaide at this point. I am going to be moving from Mt Barker, after selling the house, to rent in an area close to my parents. I will be leaving the forums. For a few reasons. Mainly because I met Eamon on the original forums and that it has always been a place where both of us have met other people, shared our common interests, loved Fords, gone drag racing and just shared to much, especially our friends. I do not think I can come back to the forums without experiencing so many memories. I feel that I need to move on with my life, move forwards and forget about the past to be able to stay strong for my 3 kids and to try and make a better life for us. I apologise for leaving, but I am sure that I will be forgotten soon enough. I have really loved being a part of this community, it has been one of the most rewarding aspects of my entire life and I will miss this place more than you know. To all of my friends on here, you know who you are. I thank each one of you for being my friend, for talking to me and teaching me so many things. I would also like to apologise to certain members for misguided things I did recently and they know who they are. The people on here who I consider to be my friends know who they are, and I just want them to know that they have been among my best friends ever and I have really learned a lot from them in many ways and that it will be sad to know I will never see any of you ever again. It wont be the same without you all and I will always remember each and every one of you who has had an impact on my life over the last few years. I wont every forget any of you. I wish everyone all the best in the future and I wish all the best for all Ford loving people and for the forums' long term success as the great community that it is. Everyone stay happy and healthy, and please do not take things for granted in your life - make every second count and live your lives as if each day was your last because you just never know what is around the corner to bring a smile to your face or to break your heart. Please take care. Your friend XRchic (Jac)

Goodbye XRchic, i wish you all the best in your new life. It's a pity you have to leave but i fully understand your reasoning. I know you won't be able to stop yourself from popping back every now and then, under the radar
 Sorry to hear about your situation, but everything will pan out for the better, life generally seems to do that. Don't take my picking on your long posts in the past to heart either will you! Wish you all the best, Chris.

Jac that is the saddest news I have heard in a while.
Really am sorry to read that you guys are parting, and that you are leaving the forums. Whilst it is understood why, it is still a huge loss that has a lot of sadness with it. Good luck to you both and to the children also, I hope whatever the future brings for you, at least brings you all some happiness. Take care and don't be a stranger Cheers Kerri

Damn I'm in shock. I know I didn't know you guys personally, but you were like the FF couple.
Like has been said, you've offered great advice over the years on these forums and I'm sure it's helped many people. I wish you, your kids and Eamon all the best. Luke

Wow I've been lurking here a long time under a couple of guises, and I have to say your posts have given humour, colour and positive contribution to this forum....often from different angles than others might see.
Sorry to see you go, and may everything work out for the best for you...lifes pathes have a way of self straightening over time, but this isnt always apparent on the moment :(

A great loss to these forums Jac. I think we all enjoyed your articulate commentary and balanced thoughts. You are indeed a part of the scenery around here.
Sorry to hear you guys have decided to part ways. Obviously not an easy decision to make, but in your true style we see that your priorities remain with the kids. If it is the case that we never cross paths again (easier said than done in this town tho!!) i can do little but wish you guys and your family all the best. All the best!!
