Hi, all:

Just wanted to drop a quick note about why I haven't been around much for the past couple of months.

My father-in-law was suffering from terminal colon cancer and eventually passed away about a couple of weeks ago. My wife, being an only child, was left with the responsibilities of having to take care of all the things that goes along with having a parent die, including the care of my distraught mother-in-law. Since my wife can't do it alone, I've been helping her out as much as I can.

To make matters worst, my mother-in-law has now been diagnosed with lymphoma herself. We're still waiting for test results to see what type of lymphoma it is.

Suffice to say, this has been a huge emotional and physical roller coaster for our family and pretty much our own lives have been put on hold so that we can deal with these unfortunate events.

I do occasionally check the site to make sure everything is still running smoothly, but is unable to do much more at the moment since I'm not home as we are over at my mother-in-law's.

Hopefully things will get better in the coming weeks and I'll be able to devote more time on the site.

Anyway, just wanted to let you all know because some of you have been dropping me emails, messages, etc. wondering how things are going and where I'm at.

Will keep you all posted.

Best,
Haken

My condolences re: FiL and best wishes Re: MiL for a more treatable result on the Lymphoma.

I'm sorry to hear about that. :( I know how difficult the whole estate settling business is, my mother is still working on sorting out and spliting up her mother's estate about six months later.

Yeah. Take all the time you need, Haken, you owe us nothing.

Condolences and sympathies.
