As some of you may have noticed I've been less active around here for the past few weeks.
My absence was due to the death of my mom. I was spending time with her in her last two weeks and then was spending time with my dad and family after she passed.
I returned home last night and am starting to work my way through the stack of emails and posts I missed.
I'm looking forward to getting back into the insanity that passes for normal around here. :)
Sorry to hear about your Mom LB. Mine passed away about 4 years ago. Still miss her.
Thanks. My mom had cancer. The last couple of years were tough.
On one hand we knew it was coming and she was getting worse. On the other, now she's gone.
You and your family have my condolences. I lost my mom to cancer when I was seven. I miss her every day. Time only dulls the pain, but it's ourselves we feel bad for because we won't see them again. Take heart, my friend.
I am really sorry to hear of your Mom's passing LB. My most sincere condolences to you and your family.
I think I speak for everyone in saying, "it's good to have you back, friend."
Very sorry to hear of your loss, LB, its not an easy thing to cope with. Time heals, however, and having the support of family and friends can be a great comfort.
Glad that your back, and hope that the pain passes soon.
Thanks, guys.
The main thing is that I'm working on getting back into the grove. I'm finding the influx of info is a bit to take in. Probably my next move is to get some gaming in and then write about it.
Sorry to hear about your mom, LB. I know that's gotta be tough, even if/when you see it coming from a way's off.
I'm glad you're back, though. :)
I am sorry to hear about you mother, LongBlade. I lost my father eight years ago and I still miss him.
Glad to have you back, LB. My mom passed of cancer as well 15 years ago. I know it's tough. You've got lots of support around here, m'friend.
My condolences for the loss of your mom, Longblade. My own mother passed away when I was 21 and she was only 50 after losing a tough battle with leukemia.
Know in your heart that your mom is in a better place. A friend of mine once told me shortly after my mom's passing that "...you don't ever get over it, you just get used to it."
Stay strong.
Groggy
Sorry for your loss LB. :(
Its good to have you back.
Welcome back Boss.
I sorry, LB. you have my condolences. I'm very fortunate that both my parents are still with me, despite being in their 70s. You and your family have my sympathies. Is your Dad still with us? If so, I wish him the strength to adjust to life without your mom. Whether he says it or not, I'm sure he will need the rest of you more than ever.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your mom LB. You and your family have my thoughts and prayers.
However, it is good to have you back around here. I am sure having to deal with all of us crazies will keep you plenty busy :) I guess now we have to mind our p's and q's.

Thanks everyone.
Yes, my dad is still alive and well.
As for blades, well, I was at Bass Pro last week and picked up some throwing blades for Daughter #2, who has expressed an interest in learning to throw knives after reading some Tom Sawyer. So you could say it runs in the family.

Funny, I was practising with my katana last night.
I did my part for the neighbors GDP with a case of Sam Adams Boston Lager tonight. It's chillin in the fridge now. I'll have a toast to LB. I saw the Innes and Gunn that Windy recommends so I got one of those too.
Peace out...
My sincerest condolences! Longblade

I envisage some kind of nick cage and his daughter scene out of kickass!
Sorry to hear of your Mom's passing, LB. It is good to have you back around though.

I post almost nothing to FB anymore except photos for my dad.
You might have seen my sister or wife post something, but I've not updated anything.
Just saw this LB. My sincerest sympathies for the loss of you mother. God bless her and your family.
