Although my mailbox in the U.S. is being monitored by friends, today my inbox got blown up! The3Stogies had a HUGE Ccom gift card emailed to me. George, you did not have to do this - especially such a large amount. Thank you, I am going to save it for March Madness! Thank you also for the message saying, "prayers", which I assume are for my mum. You are very kind, brother!

As some of you are aware, I am in Australia for a few weeks visiting my mum who has terminal cancer. It has been a dream of mine for a while to be able to take my children back to Australia. Getting to see Grandma in the limited time we have made me decide to just do it. We all arrived last week and are here for a couple more. My mum is in great spirits, naturally, seeing all the family, but I can tell that she is weaker and more frail. We are taking care of her, going through things in the house, and making other preparations that one normally does not want to talk about. But it has to be done and mum is being a trooper. She shows her faith. I truly appreciate all of the support and kind words from you my brothers on this forum

    More than welcome. You can run but you can't hide from cyber bombs Brad, yes the prayers are for your mum, you and the whole family. Although it's a solemn occasion it's nice you have the time to spend with her, reminisce and maybe even a laugh or 2. The picture is great by the way.

    I was with my mom until the end, cherish the moments.
