Kimon 1 Posted November 29, 2009 I am sorry I have not been around for a while, I lost my wife to cancer a month ago and have been having a tough time dealing with the loss. She fought bravely for over 3 years but is no longer in pain and is at peace now. We were fortunate to have had 20 wonderful years together. If any of you were waiting on personal emails or answers directly from me please feel free to contact me directly again at kimon@signcutusa.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kimon 1 Posted November 30, 2009 Thanks for all the kind words, and thoughts. I will be okay, I will never be the same but I will be Okay. A good friend told me the sharp edges would dull with time, I am confident he is right. I really just wanted those of you who I have either had contact with or were waiting on replies from me personally know why I had been MIA and to let you know that I am still around and will try and devote the needed time to assist you should you need the help. Keeping busy does help fill the void. I also would like all off you with important women in your life to please take a few moments to look into womens cancers other than breast cancer, also serious but not as secretive and usually more easily detected early. Barb died from Ovarian cancer, and when she was diagnosed 3 years ago it was understood it would take her life. Our journey was difficult and I would like to share our experiances with others. Maybe a book or an essay on the subject will come in the near future.. In the mean time lots of great info here - http://www.cancerschmancer.org/ Please take some time out and find more about why these cancers are so dangerous and so often misdiagnosed. Barb told me long after she was diagnosed that she had felt different for 6 months or so prior to finding out she had the disease. She attributted it to just getting a little older, the fatigue and she said she often felt like she about to get a cold or the flu which never came. Also take the time to look at the grand scheme of things in put things in perspective, stop and say a kind word to your loved ones heck stop and say a kind word to a perfect stranger. Life is short and very very fragile. Barb was 47 years old, this is just not fair. We were supposed to grow old together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CRD 9 Posted December 7, 2009 My thougths are with you and your wife. If we can assist in any way beside keeping you busy with questions let us know. This forum is not only to absorb but also to share emotions (when a cutter does not work) to laugh when people admit they made a mistake. Life is to beautiful to stand still and vinyl makes us all happy one way or an other Paco Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
