Toward the end of last month, Jeff was just sick with a touch of pneumonia, nothing serious. We thought.
Everything’s simply gone to Hell since. Right now, the odds of a cure are remote and all we can really hope for is that Days can become Weeks or maybe even Months. But screw Reality.
It’s strange that the words of cynical Miss Mercy, my own words of course, are so timely.
Where there’s hope, there’s life.
Thank you for giving me hope. Jeff and I may manage that trip to Yellowstone after all.
I don’t know when I’ll be able to get back to TMI, but I swear, it’s not over. Thank you for the love and patience.
Cheers!
We can wait. You have bigger things on your mind right now.
Sending good thoughts…
Take the time you need.
Hugs from a total stranger are either creepy or misunderstood, but *hugs* anyway.
Ditto what Zynisher said. Take care of family first.
Best of luck, and take all the time you need.
Hugs. It’s rough. We went through this with my father in law. Unfortunately, he was too weak to go through chemo, and we lost him.
It looks like you caught this earlier, so there is hope.
Hang in there, pray, or do what is important for you, to keep moving forward.
“Family first, work second…” Come back to us when you can, and try to remember to be good to yourself.
You, have a chance so take all that you need, I never had that.
I for one will be around went you return.
Take the time you need Andy.
This is a hobby and though id miss regular updates you need to do whats really important now. I am sure most of us are waiting when you return.
*huggles*
Take the time and do the right thing. I had a friend who had a brain tumour, he was moved to a hospice to give his wife some respite. I was in two minds about going to see him as was a long drive, I was very busy at work, and he was expected to live for a ‘few months’. I decided to visit him and was glad that I did, as he died three day later. You never know how long ill people have left, so always make the best of what you have.
Stressing is contagious,Try not to overload yourself and hope for the best.
If you find yourself thinking about him often or all day it’s probably a good idea to visit even if you think you might be in the way. I learned that all too well in my younger days.
My thoughts are with you and your family,
Please, take all the time you need – it’s better to make the most of the time you have with those you love.
Went through similar with my partner’s Father so know how heartwrenching it is.
Really hope you get to Yellowstone.
Also, joining the ranks of strangers virtual hugging you.
My thoughts are with you (in a non-creepy, non-stalker way)
Take your time. Our thoughts and prayers (for those who do) are with you.
Family first, then self – because you’ll need time to tuck yourself back together in whatever new shape you need. We’ll be here when you’re ready to come back.
Take ya time man. We’ll be here when ya ready to be working again.
SemiSonic’s ‘Closing Time’ is probably suitable here.
I have faced and lost too many to cancer in my time on this stage. The best thing you can do is spend the time with them that you need to, We, your fans, can be patient and wait for you and your art. God bless Andy, you and yours.
You’ve got your priorities exactly right, Andy; don’t sweat it. Enjoy Yellowstone, and live every moment *in* the moment. When the time is right to return to TMI, you’ll know. Let your life be your guide, and may Peace bring you Her every blessing.
Good luck to him /and/ to you.
Ditto all of the above.
And if you need to say a few things sans art, You’ve got friends here willing to listen.
Take whatever time you need, and screw anybody who says otherwise! We’re not going anywhere, an we’re here for you if you need to talk/vent/scream/cry/’verbally’ pound the walls for a while.
