I’m all for jokes and games, and I really feel I shouldn’t feel the need to do this, but since you can’t pick up on a very serious tone that I am not joking, here it is:
For the past year my wife has been battling a very rare, very aggressive form of cancer. With that comes a very aggressive treatment plan. Seven surgeries, including one to take a footballs worth of skin off her back to cover the crater in her arm where they cut out the tumor, 11 sessions of radiation, and now in month six of chemo, the first four months weekly, until it broke her down so bad she had nothing left, and they switched it to bi-weekly. She has had to take on this fight while we have dragged our four teenagers through six different rental homes, because in the middle of this fight, a cat 5 hurricane dropped on our heads and we’ve been trying to get our home put back together since September. That’s included the aggravation of two lawsuits fighting with our insurance, and depleting our funds to rebuild our house until we can get that suit settled.
I joined here a few months ago for an escape , yeah a shit talking get away from the way I have to be in the real world and cut loose escape. And I know I’ve thrown my share of shit on here. But I also know that there’s a time to understand when something is off the table, and when someone makes a very sincere statement about leaving their family out, you do it. You don’t have to understand why, you just respect the limits.
Have a nice day.
