Fedora sent me a PM, telling me that yesterday his father-in-law passed away. He will be out of pocket for a bit, so please keep him, his wife and family in your thoughts and prayers at this time. Regards. Michaelson

Please allow me to offer my condolences. Losing a family member is never easy and the holidays can heighten the sense of loss. Perhaps knowing that there are so many people here, who wish you the best and wish that they could somehow lessen the pain for you, could somehow dilute the pain you must surely feel.
I wish you, your family and friends, the best through this trying time.

Steve, I am so sorry to hear about this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. My wife's father passed away a year and a half ago from cancer. This will be the second Christmas without him around, so I can empathize with what you and your family may be going through. Let me know if I can do anything from here.

I am so sorry Steve. I lost my grandmother on December 24, 2003. She was more like a second mother to myself, my siblings and, amazingly, my kids. It still hurts to think about, and this is particularly poignant for me as we just had the unveiling of her memorial. I TRULY feel for you and your family. Remember, the happy times with your father-in-law will forever be in your memories. Please be well and know that we are all with you in spirit.

I clearly don't read the forum often enough.......Steve, my condolences to you, and all thoughts and prayers to you. I lost both my grandmothers 1 year apart, and both on the day before thanksgiving. I am here if you need to talk, cry, yell, or whatever, just remember I(and all of us here) hold you in our hearts as a friend, and will be here for you.

My heartfelt condolenses and prayers. My wife has lost both of her parents in the past few years. My best advice is to be there for her as best you can and take everything one day at a time.

Guys and gals, you don't know how much the kind words mean to me, and to my wife. I let her read all of these, and she shed another tear. We have been caregivers for her dad for the last 2 years, and even built on to our house in order to give him his own space downstairs. He was 89 years old. Thanks to all of you, and I will be back in the saddle Thursday. best regards, Fedora
Another voice of support.

My thoughts are with you and my condolences to your wife. It's difficult to lose a parent at any age.
It must be some consolation to see how much you're loved by those here.

I did not die
Do not stand on my grave and weep
I am not there I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow
I am the diamond glints in the snow
I am the sunlight on ripened grain
I am a gentle Autumns rain
When you awaken in the morning hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
I am the birds in circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night
So do not stand on my grave and cry
I am not there.... I did not die

Thoughts and prayers to you and yours, Steve.
Losing a parent is obviously hard. My condolence to you is they have left their imprints on you, and you will see them again in yourself and your family. My daughter makes my father's lopsided grin, and it makes me smile...
Peace - J

I just spoke to Steve on Saturday. I only called to talk for a couple of minutes about my pending hat order. We ended up talking the entire morning. For anyone that has never had the pleasure of meeting Steve in person or talking to him, he is truely a good guy.
While we talked, he told me how he had built an addition onto his house to be able to take care of his father in law. He said that his father in law had not been doing too well here lately, but I am sure this comes as a tremendous shock to Steve and his family.
Steve, I am very sorry to hear about this. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Again, thanks to all for the condolences and consideration. It is over now as the burial was today. I am back home and will be up working on hats for the preorders, and should start shipping these out in the next couple of days. If you have placed an order, you will get it by Christmas. I know you guys are anxious, but this was a kink that I had not planned for. Thanks all. Fedora

Steve, the hats can wait. Family is more important. These kinks in life are often unpredictable. Sure, I'm anxious for my hat (I'd be lying if I said I wasn't!) but I can wait until you're ready to get back into it. Just don't feel that you have to keep up with our pace. Just keep up with your family's at this point.
Regards,
bink
