THANKYOU JARKKO

[LEONKA]

Hi Mollydog

You're right, you have much more opportunity to meet personally with Jarkko or Leonard. I would say 99% of the opportunity to meet. This meeting is certainly beautiful.

[bridger15]

Hi Leonka. To add to Mollydog's sentiments, there are different forms of saying thank you to Jarkko and to Eija to convey our appreciation for all they do on our behalf.

I posted this video memento after the end of the Las Vegas and San Jose concerts.
Please see the thank you clips starting at 3.40 and at 6.02

Oh, please don't be disappointed by the seeming lack of response, LEONKA. People are so busy anymore here and have trouble keeping up with the burgeoning Forum, only focusing on portions of it. Some literally have not even seen your thread and comment.

Another thing is that, in the past, we have thanked Jarkko through threads such as yours. There are some who really don't mind saying it again and again; whereas, others [no less rightly] feel that they've already done it in another thread previously, so they know that Jarkko knows how they feel; or they've done it in postings in threads not necessarily devoted to doing so; or as Mollydog Mary has noted, they've done it in person. Jarkko knows and understands all of this.

That doesn't make your expression of frustration inappropriate, though . It simply underscores your own strength of belief in what you've openly spoken. It is a wonderfully warm and kind thing that you've done .

Now, to go watch Arlene's own expression of gratitude. We all have our own ways .

Hi bridger15

Video on You Tube is very nice, finally meet you some members of our forum.
Lizzy, Marry, Mutti, Marrten, bridger15, Ladydi Robert Kory - Management, Leonard, etc.. It is incredible how many people were at the concert in San Jose, and what those many blouses that I saw on stage Or I'm wrong? What they forget ladies' blouses? . But I look forward, when Leonard on tour in 2010 will come to Slovakia. I hope it will come.

Lizzy

probably you are right, I probably do more sensitively . You are right that many people have so much work, childcare and family, the time which remains to relax yourself in the forum, Leonard is less.

Hi Leonka,

You are so absolutely WONDERFUL!!!! I love your posts and all the emotion behind them! Each of us in our own way is filled with emotion towards Leonard, and we love him so much.

We also love and appreciate Jarkko very very deeply. Over the past few years there have been threads to thank Jarkko and I am sure he knows and feels our thankfulness to him. He, Eija, and their son, are quite amazing! I myself am overawed by their wonderful simplicity. Perhaps it is the touch of Leonard, but they have a gentle peaceful joy that surrounds them, and this joy touches everyone within their circle...which is all of us! I adore them SO much! I feel so close to them but it is so much more than that. They support and encourage all of us, besides providing us with information and links that we could find nowhere else. An amazing family.....made more amazing because Leonard is at the centre of their lives!

Hmmm..just realized how that sounds. I am sure that other things/beliefs may be more central to their daily lives, but their love of Leonard has indeed shaped our lives!

All the best,
Diana

I must by to connect to thank Jarkko ... I own several websites and know what t is done! And Jarkko it does with love, it is known. Often wants him impossible. But it has played a large part on how the fans Leonard found each other that they met through the site and created new friendships.
And if these pages should only occasionally inspects the Leonard and surely he knows that love and admiration of his fans have no restrictions on age, gender, nationality or skin color
We love Leonard. .I love Leonard

[sue7]

I am a little sorry that so far only seven members of the Forum expressed thanks to Jarkko. For all this, how much time they Jarkko sacrificed for us so that we can rejoice that we are so close to Leonardo. Excuse me. I'm sorry if wrote something inappropriate, but I feel this way.

Leonka,
I think that another reason may be that a number of us who haven't met him in person have thanked him numerous times in other threads on the forum. I think that if you searched the phrase "thank you Jarkko," you would find hundreds of posts from many many grateful people. I think there's no question about how much we all appreciate what Jarkko has done and keeps doing for us on the forum.
Best wishes,
Sue

[mutti]

Even though I had the great fortune to meet Jarkko in person I think its totally appropriate to continue to thank him and Eija over and over in any form...we can't thank him enough in person, on this forum....I am so grateful.
... and so thank you again Jarkko for this forum, your kindness, your humour and mysterious hints you give us (which by the way we are due for some more as we have all been so patient ) and all that you do...and being our liason to Leonard.
Here is a big hug
Mutti (Leslie)

For me Jarkko is the man who keeps telling me: 'Stop dreaming, Leonard ain't coming back to Britain!'
But never mind, I know I should be grateful to him for the forum, which is a pleasant place for me to retreat to several times a day.

Exactly, I also have Jarkko to blame for my new leonardcohenforum.com addiction!
I think I shall withhold the thank yous for now...
