I have been away from the forum for a couple of weeks and I thought I'd share with you all the reason why.
On Thursday, May 5, my wife entered the hospital with what we thought was a very bad asthma attack or pneumonia. It was neither. Rather, the diagnosis was an enlarged heart and congestive heart failure.
Two days later, on May 7, I received a phone call from the hospital at about 11 a.m., telling me that my wife's condition had changed and that I needed to come to the hospital right away. When I arrived, I was ushered into a day room and was given the news that despite all the doctors' efforts, my wife had passed away. She was only 43. 
I would appreciate your prayers for me as I now must assume a greater role as a father (we have three children: ages 18, 16, and 13), in addition to working to provide for my family as I was before, as well as continuing to deal with some of the end of life issues and my own grief.
GooRoo, I still would like to continue as a moderator here, although how much I will be here and how often is still yet to be determined. After all, all of us, myself included, need some form of diversion at times and Gruntz makes a great diversion.

...Ha! Ha! Scared ya', didn't I?
