Kevin King Report post Posted August 29, 2008 Hey all! Long time no talk! I just wanted to drop you all a line and let everyone know I am still here and still trying to work some crap out. Seems like no matter how bad you think things can be, there is always the possibility of worse things that could happen. For example: I thought I was in a bad situation a while back with my wife. Well, that has taken a back seat to the fact that my dad has recently been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gerhigs disease). If you dont know what that is, it is a disease with no cure and an almost 100% falality rate within 2 years. We have a second opinion apt. scheduled for Sept. 4 at Washington University in St. Louis. I do want everyone that has PM'd me with all the nice messages that I really do appreciate the thoughts very much. Regarding all you crazy people that have sent monitary support, I thank you very much also and I absolutely intend on holding up my end of the deal with the custom wallet give-away. Johanna, thank you for providing this site, for if it did not exist, I would not have such an amazing group of generous and supportive friends. I plan on paying everything forward in the future and you can bank on the fact that I will do everything I can to help insure a little bit of the future of Leatherworker.net Thats it for now. Again, Thank you all very much. KK Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
