I did know that and I knew it before I read Fred's "farewell" letter last week. He was always one of my favorite peeps here in the Rain and I miss his presence.

I didn't know this but I am not surprised. 

I just finished reading Fred's post and I shall miss his tender, gentle presence in the Rain.  So in honor of his words, we shall see you later, my friend...

I'm sure someplace someone is offended.

That's a good one Peter!

Good morniong Peter. I had no clue. I do miss Fred Griffin!

I did know that and funny but, my grandfather is the one who taught me that as well, Peter. 

Fred's presence will be sorely missed here - he is an ambassador with heart that we will miss seeing each and every day. 

I did not know that.... now I do!

I did not know that.

Thank you Peter for pointing this out. He will be missed & the reasoning is his. 

I did not know that goodbye meant God be with you Peter Mohylsky BUT it's a beautiful thing now that I know. 

Yes.

Dear Fred.

We miss you.

The Q&A without Fred Griffin presently on Leave of Absence - something strange.

I missed his post, but just read and commented, had no idea.  Hope he will be doing something fun.

I did not know.

Thanks for letting us know

Thanks for sharing.

I did not... Thanks for sharing!

I did not realize that Peter. And thanks for the heads up on Fred. I was wondering where he has been. 

no \?

I did not. It makes sense.  I also did not know about Fred's post. I shall go read it. 

Wow, I didnt know that!

Wow, did not know that.

Makes perfect sense to me Peter

I was not aware of this, or Fred's LOA.  I'm not surprised though, most of our words come from Old English since we used to be a colony of the Queen.

Everything has its origins in the Creator...We are here to confirm & join this

Yes, I did know that, from Fred's post.

Wait, i missed something. Fred is leaving? I better go read it

Now that you mention it...yes

See you or any translations of the expression is what is appropriate.

Peter,

Yes I knew about Fred.  And Kathy Streib featured it in her "Ah Ha" series on Sunday.  Yes, I knew and in French it is "adieu" which many English speaking folks use.  A

I may have learned that a long time ago, but forgot.
