One of the most popular sections of the GWTW Forum has long been the Swap Meet.  A great place to sell old, seldom flown kites or to get great deals on used (gently flown) kites.  Only registered users can see the Swap Meet section, let alone wheel and deal.  1000's (literally) of kites have changed hands thanks to the Swap Meet.
There are several more benefits to being a registered user, but you'll have to join our little community to find out all the "secrets".

Though a shared quote, it is heartfelt and sent with love...

My thought is to go outside and think of the biggest hug and send it on its way to you on the wings of the breeze. So when in need, hopefully, you'll go outside, feel the breeze, and it will surround you in hugs from all directions...my hugs are on the way!

I am in tears.  As a relatively new parent, it is impossible for me to imagine your heartache.

Know that a kite will fly in Norway for your daughter this weekend if I can get one in the air.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Allen.  I am choked up just thinking about all of this and so wish there was something I could do to help you with this terrible loss.  I try to justify this as well by thinking that at least the seizures are now done with, but it is a small compared to the loss.  I just don't know what to say other than we all share in the pain and hope that you can find some kind of comfort in knowing that.

May God bless you, Caitlin and your family.

Firstly, thank you Allen for sharing this journey with us, please know that even half a world away there's a little quite silence being dedicated to you and your loss.

Condolences to you and those that knew Caitlin.

Sincerely,

Shannon

My heart goes out to you at this difficult time.  I hope that in some small way these messages from both your real life and virtual friends here help with your loss.
