Very Sad News

i am sad to say that i will not be able to keep up with blogging for an indefinate period of time...my girlfriend's dad has been looking increasingly ill over the last couple of months, and after his annual checkup (we tried to get him to see a doctor sooner, but he wouldn't) was told to check himself into the emergency room immediately by6 his physician, which he did last thursday...testing shows that he has advanced pancreatic cancer...it is very doubtful that they will be able to do more than make him comfortable as possible for as log as possible...he will be in the hospitol for another week, following minor surgery to relieve some of the associated problems the cancer is causing...once recovered he will be coming home, but we are not sure for how long, or what help he will be needing in the future...while i will miss writing here, and reading what you all have to say on your blogs, i must focus my time, attention, and efforts on our real lives...i may provide some very occasional updates on this situation, or just write to relieve my pain, i don't really know...i will be back to pick this back up once circumstances permit.

thank you all for you understanding, your past support, and hope to see all once again, when i come back.
