Hello Everyone

[Nathan]

The link below will explain my absence from this great board. We didn't think she would last this long. I hope you don't mind me posting another link to a tech support site like this one. I mean no disrespect in doing so.

Wow man.! I'm sorry to hear that.! My aunt had pancreatic cancer and I can tell you that it is hard having someone so close and that you know that you can't do something about it..!! It sucks but what can I say... it's LIFE.!

Nathan, you've been around here a long time and have given alot of help to us. I remember when you had your help site with listed errors and such that was such a great resource for many of us.

I can only offer inadequate words but my most heartfelt, sincere best wishes and my prayers for you and your wife during what must be an exceedingly difficult time.

Our Pal Nathan was/is one of the founding fathers of the " Old Wise Ones "

He, Target, Apostle-83, BFlurie, AuraEdge, KillerBug, daveleau and many others were and still are great members who have shared their time and efforts to assist those with lesser knowlege.

As SOCAL said, Nathan's help site was a great benefit to us all, it without a doubt was time consuming and tedious to assemble.

Given this, Nathan needs our help now.

A few momements of quiet meditation and thoughts of Nathan and his family will assist in this most traumatic of times.

Whatever religion you happen to profess is of no consequence, take a little bit of time to think of this family. Please

most sincerely
DrVette

Sorry for you, Nathan. My ex-wife lost all 3 men in her family from illness & accident over just a few years. Her brothers were only about 30 yrs old.

A correction on my daughters age. She's 8. With everything that's going on, I may have given John the wrong age by accident. BTW, no apologies necessary either on that.

I've been doing this tech support thing since I think "95? You know, many people think the internet is a bunch of nameless people hiding behind false names and identities. Well that may be true, but there are places where special people help one another and genuinely care. This is one of those few places.

**tears** I'm extremely humbled by all you sharing your kind words of love, caring, and offering your support. I wish I could write more, but it's hard seeing the screen through the tears of apppreciation I have for everyone because of the warmth you all have given me here.... **tears**

I can't say I know how you feel but I lost my wife 17 years ago when our son had just turned 5. My heart is out there for you Nathan. Take care of yourself and don't hold your feelings inside.

Never did I think I needed to talk about my problems to anybody. I thought I could handle it and I did think I was doing just fine for almost a year until reality set in with a nervous breakdown. I was working as a heavy equipment mechanic at the time. One afternoon, suddenly with no apparent reason, I started to get the shakes which rapidly increased to the point that I couldn't hold a wrench well enough to use it. I had to leave work to see my doctor. My doctor explained it to me by simply saying that he expected to see me a lot sooner. He had told me, just after losing my wife, to seek councelling concerning my loss. I didn't think that "I" needed any form of councelling. No not me, I let things go to the point that it took medication to get my nervous system back to normal. If I had been willing to listen, the doctors advise would have served me well but my mistake cost me almost an entire year getting sicker (depression) and another ten monthes to get back to health.
I don't mean to tell you what to do; I'm not where you are now. I don't know what I can do, but I feel my heart again and I care...

Well it's over. My wife is now in heaven. I want to thank everyone for their concern and kindness in this long battle we all had with her breast cancer.
