Hello, Friends,
A quick update:
My mother passed away on Sunday afternoon after a long battle with cancer. The past few weeks have been hectic and fully devoted to my mother’s Hospice care. The next two week are devoted to being with family and caring for my father-in-law who is currently in the hospital.
I haven’t been checking email or comments regularly and will not for the next week or so, hence the delay in reply some of you have noticed.
With the help of some of our contributors, we will still have posts published, but fewer than normal.
Please understand if I don’t have time to reply to your emails. I receive 40-50 from readers daily, so the backlog will be more than I can handle even after I’m back “on the air.”
Also, thank you so much for your kind thoughts and messages. Those of you who follow by other radio blog, QRPer.com, knew that my mom was in Hospice care as I mentioned this in a recent field report.
I’ll be back soon and thank you so much for understanding.
Best,
Thomas (K4SWL)
I am so sorry to hear of your immense loss. May her memory be for a blessing, always.
I’M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS
Sorry To Hear That You Have Lost Your Mother Thomas. It’s a painfull event to go through. Thinking of you and all of your family.
Thomas,
Very Sorry to hear of your loss. These things are very hard. We recently lost my mother-in-law after a ten year battle with Parkinson’s. She was in hospice care for six months. Those people are wonderful !
We’re now helping with my 84 year old father-in-law who is doing well after surgery.
Prayers,
Jim WB4ILP

It is something I can relate to just now, as my own mother is currently also near death. In her case however, she is not suffering from any illness, but is 111 years old, and we all know that we don’t live forever.
