Sorry i have been missing in action everyone, it has been a rough couple weeks for me and my family.. My 14 year old son passed away last week, he had a severe Asthma attack, which caused his lungs to over inflate and it squeezed his heart, rushing all the blood upwards, when this happened, his heart stopped and he quit breathing, the EMT's were able to get a response from him, but only after he had been 12 minutes with no oxygen to his brain, he was life lined to another hospital, where he fought for his life for a week, through constant seizures "every 3 seconds" they had to induce a coma with medicine to stop, to try and preserve the brain from any further damage.. It was too late.. He started to show signs of improvement on the 4th day, but then the next morning, he did a 180 and his body began to fail from the abuse it took through this, leaving me to make a decision i did not want to make "nor wish anyone else to have to make".. One of the hardest things i have ever had to do..

So in short, im struggling to handle this, and will probably still not be on much, but will return at some point..

I felt i should share this with all of you, as you are for the most part, my second family..
