Won't be around much
I realize that I'm an infrequent contributor to this board, but in case anyone wonders, " Hey, where the heck is that njhorror?"
Someone very dear to me is ill. Most likely very ill. We're taking it one day at a time and that's all we can do. I've been in contact with facilities about treatment and I'm trying to get enough rest to deal with all the accompanying concerns. I may browse from time to time or even post. There's a chance that I may do neither. I just wanted you guys to know. Thanks for some very good times. | |||||||||||

Re: Won't be around much
I am very sorry to read this, NJ. I wish you and your relative the best of lucks.

Your fall should be like the fall of mountains. But I was before mountains. I was in the beginning, and shall be forever. The first and the last. The world come full circle. I am not the wheel. I am the hand that turns the wheel. I am Time, the Destroyer. I was the wind and the stars before this. Before planets. Before heaven and hell. And when all is done, I will be wind again, to blow this world as dust back into endless space. To me the coming and going of Man is as nothing.

Re: Won't be around much
I'm very sorry to read this and offer my deepest sympathies. You're an incredible person for taking care of this special someone. I say that as someone who's been very ill and needed taking care of.

Thanks very much, Folks. The sentiments mean a lot and are a big help today when I really could use it.
