Hi guys and girls, This is kind of a response to jughead5187's thread Dear Chris, in which he asked if it was OK to continue the "Hey Chris... how's your mom?" jokes. But I wanted other people to see this too. I was going to respond that it was totally fine and that people were free to continue, but I hadn't had time to respond to the post yet. I'm glad I waited. I got an email from my mother this morning titled "Dr's Results". She was just diagnosed with breast cancer, which was a complete surprise to everyone. So you can see why the "how's your mom" jokes have kind of ceased to be funny. I'm not saying that people have to stop making "your mom jokes", but I would appreciate it if they just weren't directed my way any more. Thanks everyone. P.S. - Tyler is still free to insult me personally for my comment though.

I'm so sorry, hon! We're going through that right now with my mother-in-law... she's finished up her chemo, and starting radiation. It's rough, but she's making it through.
Just remember... they can do all kinds of stuff for it now. It'll be a struggle, but there are *lots* of survivors. Keep hoping and praying, and give her all the support and love you can.

Chris,
I was very sorry to hear about your mom. There's nothing that's going to make this easier, but our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family. If there is anything I can do to be of help or comfort in any way please do not hesitate to contact me.
I hope that in less troubled times we can get together and raise a glass and throw some dice together.
JiB

Thanks for your thoughts everyone. I'm nearly sure that I'll be moving back to the States towards the end of the summer to be with my family again. So a small upside to all this is that I may finally get to attend a Happy Jacks run con game.

So a small upside to all this is that I may finally get to attend a Happy Jacks run con game. Keep your hopes up Chris, My father beat cancer as did my wife's best friend. It can be done, so try to stay positive. My family will keep you, and your family in our thoughts and prayers!
