Damn, that's heavy stuff Vinny. Sorry your family's going through it. Lost my mom to cancer five years ago, it can be a brutal journey. I hope there's good news on the way for you all 🙏.

Strength for you and yours, man. I hope everything turns out for the better for the whole family.

Need to get Clancy’s novel. Reading is getting so overwhelming I considered not writing for a while just to catch up with it.

Much love for you and yours.

Jesus. Man I hope your wife is okay. For what it’s worth, I just took a moment to pray for your family.

Vinny, you’re one of my favorites here because you have a personality of genuinely good person. Perhaps it’s social ineptitude on my side for sensitive situations, but do know it’s how I’d like to express myself to help comfort you. I heard earlier that things went well—this is great news.

I’m sure there are the right words, but I don’t have them. Keeping you and your family in my thoughts and heart.

I don’t consider myself especially religious but I do believe people’s good thoughts and positive vibes transcend any, all and those of no faith. Wishing you, your wife and kiddo well. Ain’t no nurse like a sexy one, Halloween is a great time for breakaways for some Vin under the hood to bring some smiles to Mrs Reads.

Jeez man, I’m sorry you guys went through that. Hopefully it’s a speedy recovery and the worst is behind you.

I hate to hear that about your wife. Hopefully, the surgery does the trick. My wife went through that a couple of years ago, and, thankfully, surgery got it all, but, man, it was not something I'd like to repeat, you know?

That’s hard Vinny, sincerely hoping your partner is clear and that the stress this must be causing your heart is lighter soon.
