Many of us cruise through life and have been very lucky in love, business, health and etc. We feel badly for others who are not so lucky, but we still don't feel or share their pain.

Well, for me life has just really been turned upside down. My wife has just been diagnosed with the big C word. She is truly the most precious woman in the world to me. I would do anything for her; she has always been here for me. Giving me 100% of herself, and doing things for the children that go above and beyond being a stepmother. I do not have the writing ability to express how I feel about her, nor what will or could happen through this experience.

I will be leaving the pricescope forum for an undetermined amount of time. I'll miss the forum but obviously more important things must be dealt with in a timely fashion. I will also be out of my store for some time and only stopping in for very brief moments.

With this being said, anyone interested in a Eightstar diamond please email Brenda or Wink (both are on this board) as I'm sure they would be very happy to help you with information and your search. For anyone that may live in my area, my staff would be happy to show and explain anything you wish to see, and I will only be a phone call away should you need me. At this point I have handled every Eightstar customer, but my staff does know the basics and knows how to get any information that may not be at their fingertips.

Several of you I'm doing things for at the moment, and rest assured they will be done on time and in a professional manner. I may not be able to talk as much as usual, but you will be taken care of I promise.

I hope to drop in from time to time, but I will not be participating for a while. I truly wish the best to everyone here. And remember to hug the ones you love, as they are truly one of a kind.

Thanks for the email and phone calls too. A few have called and not posted and that has been wonderful.

This is a very nice place to visit.

Thanks again everyone..........
