 <html>!&lt;span class=&quot;vcard&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://rainbowdash.net/group/290/id&quot; class=&quot;url&quot; title=&quot;Minnesotan Bronies (mnbronies)&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;fn nickname&quot;&gt;mnbronies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt; Hey all... I just thought I'd come by and say... Normally, with most kinds of things like these. i wouldn't bother. But in a place like this, a community that prides itself on showing the same qualities as the show its fandom is based around, i feel it's a bit appropriate to share a bit of hard news that has hit me and my family. I hope you all understand that I share this because it makes me feel better, and may help a lot of you stay safe.  My father, one of the people I've always been closest to in my life, has been in a tragic car accident these past few hours.  Unfortunately, it was fatal, and took the life of both my father, and my step-mother.  I don't post this in the hopes of getting attention, or to make anyone sorry for me.  I post this because it comforts me a bit, you could say.  Because I know the type of people I'm sharing it with.  Please. I care for my fellow men and women.  Please always be safe.  We may be almost strangers in a sense, but I still care.</html>
