the long lost summer

good morning:
   it's been so long since i've been here, i had to look up my sign in info.
been trying to get to coffee but since march it's been impossible. 
   my fil passed away on march 31.  he had a heart attack but didn't get it checked out for days.  then, once they got him to the hospital, the damage was done and he went downhill from there... kidney failure, second heart attack - you get the picture.
   we've been spending darn near every weekend trying to get his estate in order.  BIG job.  no end in sight.  it's almost at the point where i won't be needing to go to his place each weekend so i'm hoping i can join all of you again. for coffee. to chat. for courage. i miss the moral support dreadfully.
   that's about it for now.  lots of new faces here - can't wait to get to know you better.  i'm so glad to see the board is still as supportive as ever.
talk to you soon

Dorthe-
I'm glad to see your smiling face!  I'm sorry for your loss and all of the weekends you have had to spend to get things in order.  That is always a difficult task.

Here's hoping that we see you at coffee soon- but we will always support you on the board too!!

Enjoy the day!

Dorthe,

I have wondered where you have been.  I am so very sorry for your loss and subsequent dealings and work that have been keeping you away.  You are in my thoughts and prayers, believe me.  If you ever want to meet, even for a 1/2 hour for coffee in Farmington for coffee and conversation, I would be very willing.  Drop me a PM, and I will get back to you.

Michael

God willing, we'll be able to cut back on our weekends at g-pa's soon.
hope all is going well with you and that your summer has been enjoyable thus far.
