To my friends and trading partners on TCDB: With a breaking heart I am letting all know why I have been mentally absent for the past few days. As most of you know, my wife has been battling stage four lung cancer since 2019. Unfortunetly, the beast that is cancer is now winning the battle, and she has very minimal time left with us. Obviously, I am shattered and lost as my family and I go through this. I still log on to this site almost daily, and usually that is the extent of it. I am having a difficult time trying to get motivated enough to check on, approve, counter, or reject trade offers. I simply ask those that have sent offers to be patient; I will get to those offers and follow through as soon as I can get some peace and strength to do so. I totally understand if you need to withdraw any offers due to time concerns. As soon as I am able, I will be back and will work my way through any ongoing trades or proposals. Thank you for your understanding.

I am very sorry to hear this. I was unaware of the issue. Prayers that she can pull back out of it. All delays are understood given the circumstances. Take your time during this because there are things more important than cards.

Mike, I am so sorry to hear that the cancer is now winning the battle.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.  Cards are just not that important.

Mike, take care of yourself and keep your wife as comfortable as possible during this stage. Take your time and handle things only the way you can. Too many people try to tell you to handle grief their way. It works differently for everyone. Only you understand you enough to know what works and what doesn't. Take care and handg in there. You have a lot of friends here who are wishing the best for you.

Many prayers will be sent up for your family and you, Mike.  Be with them.

I am so sorry to hear that you and your family are going through such a rough and tragic time. My heart breaks for you all. I am laying Semaa down as I send out thoughts and prayers.

Take all the time you need as family ALWAYS comes before this hobby. Do you man. Take care of yourself and those that need you. Just know that the people here will always be here if you need a friend to lean on.

Cheers mate.

Sorry to hear.   I wish your family all the strength you can muster.    You have been a reliable partner here.

Never traded or anything with you, but best wishes and thoughts to you and your family. 

Take care of yourself, the community will be here for you if you need us. 

Family first.  My thoughts and prayers are with you.
