A heartfelt thank you to my family on The Fedora Lounge

[Colby Jack]

Let me begin by saying that I had tried to write this sooner and thought about this everyday since it began....
I wish to thank my wonderful friends here on the lounge for everything...to include the purchase of an Art Fawcett VS hat.
A short time before Thanksgiving I had just finished my chemo treatments, but found that the cancer had grown a bit, and was causing me quite a lot of pain. I had received a pm from Art here on the site, but I was tucked away in narcotic heaven. I was finally able to sit at my computer and see what all my friends were up to. There was the pm from Art, nearly a week old. I was stunned ...I answered him as quickly as I could and got the ball rolling...I hope I wasn't a pain in the butt Art...
The conformer was sent to and fro...and I worried if the lack of hair would be a problem, as my hair has finally grown back in...
I told him what I wanted, discussed colors/style and left the rest up to Art.
Again....how do you thank people for a present such as this...My heart goes out to these conspirators that brought light back to my dark life.
As soon as I can, I will gather some images to post...that way I can keep my VS for a while longer...I so love this hat and the great people of the lounge!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

I like the way Jimmy put it. Like many others around here, I'm eager to see the hat, and really hoping that the chemo goes well.

You are one of those people that you can tell is just genuinely good. Keep fighting, you have alot of people in your corner. Enjoy your VS.

[bolthead]

Very Well Put Bart....

I dont think I could've said it any better then this.

You're in my prayers my friend.....and to quote Mulceber, I really had no idea about all of this either. Probably because I haven't really been around that much myself, so sorry.
