When long time posters disappear, we don't ever know what, in their lives, has changed. It could be a lifestyle turnabout as Jim has achieved which is worthy of our support and our tremendous congrats. GREAT WORK, Jim!!! Happy for you.
Or, that disappearance could be due to a horrific diagnosis that is truly life changing and is capable of plunging us into fear and even despair. The hardest battle we would ever, ever wage is what Rich is fighting.
I have those that are close to me, and, too, those that I don't really know other than their online presence. They all need my support and the only way I can help them, at a distance, is to ask God to watch over them, to be with them day and night. For them to keep their strength to cope, to endure, to fight and not give up.
You are in my prayers now, Rich. God is with you; he will not leave you. <3
