My apologies...

Some of you may or may have not noticed...but I have not been around lately. Unfortunately since the end of November, my family has been plagued with some bad luck, and this month I lost my Father.

He was a huge part of my life and will be sincerely missed.

Regardless...I feel that I owe several members an apology...

Big Wagon Guy (John)- I was planning on taking a few of his vehicles in over the winter to work on. I really feel bad about the situation because I basically left him hanging with tentative plans in place for after Thanksgiving. I know I didnt give much of an explanation at the time, however I hope you understand.

Cadet57 (Justin)- Poor guy has been patiently waiting for me to stuff the rear under his wagon for months! I know you have been up to date all along and you know what I have been dealing with, but regardless...I am sorry and I will get it done.

Sdstick (Steve)- I have not forgot about pricing out a rear for your car. I still need to get together with Mike and sit down to figure everything out. If you don't have the time or patience to wait it out, I understand...and I hope I can make it up to you in the near future.

1984twodoor (Matt)- Before the holidays this guys bought my gauge cluster (sorry to let the cat out of the Bag Matty), and we have yet to get together so he can pick it up. Either way, you are not forgotten (as you already know)

I take pride in being part of this community. As I am sure many would agree...it is not easy to find a group as honest and friendly as this. I hope I haven't burned any bridges.

Damn dude, that's horrible news. I'm very sorry to hear it and my sincere condolences to you and your family. That's gotta be tough.

I'm sure no apologies are necessary.

Brandon, You don't have to apologize for anything. Life gets in the way of your hobbies and you have to take care of your family first. I believe that everyone here will understand this.

Again, I'm sorry for your loss. If there is anything I can do let me know.

Brandon, you have my most sincere condolences regarding the passing of your Dad especially in addition to anything else you've been going through. I hope things get better for you soon.

It goes to show that not everyone is simply a screenname on a forum here, there are things, good and bad, going on behind the scenes, and not everyone shows it outwardly either. Either way, while it's not my place to say so and I wasn't waiting on hearing anything from you either, I don't think it was an issue, if anything this forum seems very close-knit and understanding and people enjoy seeing your posts and updates on your projects too.

Brandon, please accept my sincere condolences. My heart goes out to you and your family. No worries about the projects...I totally understand that life happens. Concentrate on what you and your family need. I wish you and yours nothing but the best for 2013...hopefully all of the bad luck is past you now and there will be nothing but blue sky's ahead.

No need to post an apology, however your doing so speaks volumes about you as a man...my hat is off to you Sir.

I'm not sweating it man. Like I told you on the phone. Car's in storage, it's the least of my worries. Family is always way more important than a car will ever be.

Sorry to hear, Brandon.

Thanks for the kind words and condolences...
