A Sad Time for the RV Community
We in the full time community are a unique group. Besides our lifestyle of abandoning the traditional stick and brick house, loading all of our possessions into a wheeled vehicle, and hitting the road, our “community” is made up of friends everywhere across the country, held together by our Blogs. Find any full-timers blog, look for the “Followers” list, and click on any one of the icons. You’ll almost always be taken to another full-timer’s blog, 
with another list of followers, and if you keep at it, you’ll discover how large our community really is. On Saturday, our community suffered a tragic and unexpected loss. Bruce and Margie Mallin, of “Bruce and Margie’s Full Time Journey” were taking a morning walk when a despondent young man, bent on committing suicide by crashing his car into his ex-girlfriends restaurant, stuck and killed them (news article). Most of us in the 
community are of the age when we think about our mortality each time we get another ache or pain, but none of us can conceive of our lives ending this way. Horrible events like this aren't supposed to happen to people we know. Like most of our community, we never met Bruce and Margie, but we knew them well through their blog. Unlike ours, their blog was an almost daily account of their activities, thoughts, and family, and we grew to know them well. Our thoughts go out to their family with a hope they’ll understand that there are so many of us who never met Bruce and Margie, but knew them and will miss them dearly.
