Been having health issues for a while now.
Just got the news yesterday from my last test.
I officially got fucking cancer in my gut.
Edit:
Sorry all,
Had a couple of days that weren't the best.
It was a swift reminder that I still have things to take care of.
My wife still needs to learn passwords, bills, etc. That got me thinking about what my "footprint" will look like when I'm gone.
I'm actually an intensely private person and I thought I've shared a tad much on here. At the same time I've got to talk to a lot of great people here and it does lift my spirits some when I see the positive posts from everyone.
Got rid of most of the pics etc.....the more I thought about it the more I felt selfish. CP has been my go to for 10+ years now and it didn't feel right to throw the C word out there and then just ignore it like it didn't happen.

I can tell time is getting short so Im trying to come up with something while it's still on my terms.
I don't think we have interacted. Hell I lurk and don't post much anymore. But your family and friends will be your legacy. The chiefs brought you here. And the community kept you coming back.
Keep positive on remembering the good times. Be at peace as much as you can. Prayers for your friends and family. [Reply]

I'm not saying this is my last post but I won't be surprised if it is. Body and brain are arguing....bastards.
Lost even more weight still can't eat.
It's been a place I found to rest and say stupid shit.
This has been a great community and I hope it continues for years. I'll try to pop in if possible but don't hold your breath.
It's been a ride my friends.
Thank to all the kind words spoken along the way
Hopefully more time but I wanted to say goodbye guy while I can
Thank 'CP
Michael
Sure, would be nice to hear from ya man.
If someone has his digits or a way to contact him it might be time to reach out. [Reply]
If you check this thread or look at it we're all thinking of you. Thank you for having the maturity and strength to have shared this and given us all quite a gift. [Reply]

Seclark also has his number, but my understanding is that he wasn't responding to texts much even before he disappeared from here.
I've also found both his wife and mom on FB, but their profiles are largely private, and I'm hesitant to reach out to anyone to ask for an update.
As far as I know, that's all we've got right now.
Is there anyone on here who has the ability to contact them and get an update?
I know a few visited with him earlier on. The family owes us nothing and I wouldn't want anyone to be disrespectful. [Reply]
I’ll keep trying, but as said before, he’s under medication and for all I know he’s sleeping most of the day.
I’m sure his close family is most important to him at this time.
No offense to anyone intended because I don’t really know.
I do know that he loves us all.
sec [Reply]
