Legion World Forums LEGION OUTPOST Mission Monitor Board Crow! Tell us the good things going on in your life!

Glad to hear, Klar.

Wishing you a thorough recovery.

Thanks so much for the update Klar. So pleased it went as well as it could.

Thanks for letting us know Klar. Very glad to hear they got all of the cancer cells.

Excellent news, Klar. Stay healthy brother.

Hey everyone sorry for the lack of participation of late. We are in the middle of the house buying process and that plus work has been taking up most of my time! So soon-ish I will be a homeowner again!

This is great news, Klar!!! At least you get to take ibuprofen again. That always sucks pre-surgery!

Also cool news GL! Yay new house!!

GL (Great initials, by the way), congrats, I hope it goes well. Always feels good to own your own home.

That is so awesome, GL. Congratulations, and may you and your wife and daughters enjoy it to the fullest.

Aw thanks everyone!!!

Okay - We are now officially home owners! We move in about six weeks due to kid #2 graduating and kid #1 heading to Rome (!of all places!)! Its been a crazy last several weeks.

And I wish they would flash by without me having to work or do all the repainting or packing/unpacking crap....

Awesome Gl! Soon you can enjoy your home without having to do all the hard work of getting it ready

Awesome milestones for your kids too. Graduation is ace and Rome is quite an experience

Congrats GL! Hope you enjoy settling in, even amongst all the hard work.

Thanks all! We are officially owners now! So now we're peicemealing the move and taking things over a bit at a time before the big move in a month+. Hopefully by then I can get the basement finished up!

It's the weekend.

Yay weekend!!!

So I apologize for my absence, but moving takes a lot of time, and I forgot how time consuming it can be. We are mostly settled in to the new place and are at the stage where we will have boxes strewn around for about the next couple of months. And since I'll not have to spend time going an hour each way back and forth between houses much more, plus having a workable office area up, I can spend more time back here! I figure we'll be DONE done in a couple more months. But looking forward to jumping back into things!

Yay for GL and his family getting to the next stage of the move.

And YAY for GL being able to spend more time here.

Is now a bad time to tell GL about the free Legion World portable tesseracts?

LOL - See the problem that those would introduce is that I'd literally leave a ton of stuff in there and completely forget about them, then REALLY never find things...

Why do you think Iventory Lass is such a valued member?

great progress, GL!

Yesterday my mother passed away. I'm putting it in this thread because, while we are of course very sad, it couldn't have worked out much better.

It wasn't unexpected. She was 89 and weak. Thursday morning she had a heart attack which left her weaker and at first unresponsive, but that improved somewhat. Fortunately my sister was there and I was able to fly up early the next morning (we leave a couple of thousand kms apart). Mum was still very weak and rarely opened her eyes but she smiled when I arrived and spoke to her and she told me that was lovely. Over the next couple of days when we determined that she was declining we transitioned to end-of-life medication which made her more comfortable without unnecessarily extending her life. In the end on Sunday afternoon both my sister and I were there talking to her and holding her hands (she was asleep but you never know) while her breathing gradually slowed and then stopped.

I'm so glad we were both there. It was hard but I realised at the time how fortunate we were to be able to share those last moments with her.

stile, my thoughts are with you and your sister. But indeed, it's good that you were both there with your mother during the last days.

Our thoughts are with you, and your sister, at your time of loss, stile. It's so good you could share that last time together. That's going to give you such positive final memories of your mother. Hopefully, that gives you comfort for the difficult period ahead.
