Today at 1 am, I lost a friend, a great steemian I met early on when I joined the steemit army. A father, proud American, Veteran and MY FRIEND.

STEEMIAN @WOLFHART

He was a warrior, an exceptional human, mister positive and great STEEM curator. Sunday morning Engagement Leaugue talk and a whole lot off other stuff we had an opinion on. You loved our welcoming terminal and had a #payitforward hart.

Although we were a milion miles apart, and in different timezones we talked every day. Had fun, ideas and talked steem.

Dear Wolf,

I knew the moment you were not there when you were supposed to be there, the end came. The battle was tough and unfair. You stood ground, untill 1 o’clock. You left instructions to contact me, and i am forever gratefull for that.

So my 4 o’clocky today , i know it was a favorite of you, Is a tribune to you and a BIG thank you, for being the first one that really made my steemjourney a personal one.

I have so many more words but tears won’t alow it.

Have a safe journey untill we meet again Some sunny day ......

AND MAY THE SEEDS TURN INTO STONG PLANTS

Love B

Every burden we bear presents a challenge to conquer, a light to be found. In my life I had laid my burdens on strong shoulders with the knowledge they would be conquered. Those shoulders were not my own, but my fathers. The light shown me, came through him. Two days ago, I was presented with a burden to bear, a challenge to conquer. My father passed away. I could not lay my burden upon his shoulders. I could not seek his light, or so I thought. Today I feel as though my burden is again lifted to his shoulders, his light shines once more. His Steem community, this community, has shown me his light through the amazing words and works presented from all of you. Dad was a positive man. He was a proud man. As I look upon these post I feel proud of him. Yet, if he were here standing next to me, he would simply say, “Do better than me.”
You have all helped a grieving family. You - who are hundreds or thousands of miles away have helped a grieving family deal with a devastating loss. Your impact is immeasurable.
I hope to get to know you all, and I will do my best to continue on in my father’s footsteps.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you all.

I'm glad that you checked in and have seen the impact your Father had on so many of us. Know that without being part of this community of people it's hard to understand the bonds that are formed, but they are strong. Your Dad had a big heart and was always willing to lend a hand. He will be missed.

Please accept our condolences from the entire eSteem team. Your father was one of most active and loyal user and we will miss him!

@esteemapp thank you for the Nice comment its appreciated by me immensly

Dear Robert,
Welcome to you here on the steemisfere. We are PROUD that you are in your fathers footsteps and Will help you start the new chapter !
You Will love it here ....

Dear Robert, My sincere condolences. We will miss your dad so very much and you have no idea how delighted I would be to see you keeping his account going. I am here to help you find your way around Steem anytime you have a question.
Hugs to your mom from me.

Farewell on your new journey, brother...My heart goes out to all the loved ones who will be missing you.

I'm heartbroken @brittandjosie! He was such a wonderful man... things won't be the same here without him.

Not sure if you know, but we rescued a kitten when he was first diagnosed with cancer...she shouldn't have been alive, a real fighter...so we named her Wolfhart, Wolfie for short. Our friend @wolfhart loved the idea of "him" snuggling up with Brian and I every night, but he especially loved that the wee kitty loved and snuggled me more lol Exactly where @wolfhart said he'd prefer😊

A one of a kind man and I will miss him dearly ❤️

I knew the wolfje story, he told me and he always talked about Brian and about you. I Will miss all the endless talks and the fatherly advice. I am devistated and proud at the same time.
I hope his legacy Will be a comfort for the non-steeming wolf family and i Wish you strenght and love.
Blog to you soon.

We talked a lot, and I was always amazed that he was more concerned for me and Brian than it seemed he was for himself! Such a great guy <3

How are you guys doing, @lynncoyle1? It's been a while again :0)

That's our story hey? "it's been a while" lol

We're are doing well actually; still enjoying life and each other. Could always be worse I think! What about you and yours?

Glad to hear that 👍

Nothing much changed here during the last year. Except for my mindset, maybe - I almost see just as many positives as negatives these days, instead of only the negatives, lol 😉

I never knew from your engagement here dear ! @simplymike

I've been out all winter - No engagement, because I couldn't handle it.
I did publish a couple of posts about it last year, but I limited those because while writing them, I felt guilty. because compared to others, like Brian and wolfhart, I thought I didn't have the right to whine. The few times I did, guess who was the first one to tell me to not feel guilty about it... @wolfhart, of course 😉

And, I'm pretty good at keeping up appearances. 😂
I was taught not to bother others with my personal issues. It's because of this place that I opened up a little more, both here and in real life

Your personal issues would never be a bother to me buddy!! Glad to see you're seeing the glass half full and half empty ... nothing wrong with a little reality :)

I remember that story....
Although me and @wolfhart weren't very close, we talked every once in a while. Mostly, it was him cheering up me... :0(
I will surely miss him :'0(

Cheering up was his favorite thing to do

A huge loss :’( I wish everyone who knew and cared for him strength. Carpe Diem

Hi dear indeed CARPE DIEM most of us take life for granted

So sad to hear/read. I am glad someone reached out and let you know, that you reached out and let us know. I will miss him, he was upbeat, and had kind words for all, he will be missed.

Always a kind word in his position fighting his life fight, i make a bow and take of my hat.
And he prepared to let the community know, i was honored to be picked and to be called His friend

These are very sad news. I has rooting for him all the way. I hoped that he could keep fighting it, he surely had a fighter's spirit. 😖

I know he loved the pifc crew and you were a great addition to that family that Made him proud, he Will be missed in the paying forward house, offcourse we Will make sure that great work Will stay on the block

My heart breaks and I will miss him very much. Thank you for letting me know. You were a great friend to him and made his last days so much happier with the arrival of the goody box you sent. I hope all the seeds he planted grow into healthy plants and bring a bit of a smile to his family.

I had hoped he had the time to make it into a baby tree tuesday or a simplymike garden blog.
We laughed and the fact he ate the chocolate after treatment , Made me smile, ohhh welll dear i ( we ) have so much in 1,5 year to look back on, i hope robert Will take the account and fly to whaledome with it. But he might need us.
Talk soon

You know you can count on me! Feel free to let him know that I am always here to help.

That was the answer i was hoping for. I Will contact him and share the message thanks i love the fact you are with me on this one

100% I will do all I can.

Well iT looks like you have too good news

Sorry for the lost. ❤

Yes the body survival alot but God thought it was his time, unfortunately!
We lost an icon , an steem icon

I did not know @wolfhart but after reading his last post I felt the sadness hit me…..…and also a content feeling because he had a loving supporting family and you guys on the Steem Blockchain.

My condolences @brittandjosie

ps: There is a cure

There isbutits to early for a cure, and the steem blockchain is huge but one big family in good times and bad

It's so good of you to let us know, and not an easy post to create @brittandjosie. Virtual Hugs ❤
