Wow! I saw the title and over 79 threads and I wondered what happened.

Catspaw, I've never met you, but I love you like a brother. In fact, you are a lot like my brother. I will pray for you and for your family, your wife, and your children.

It amazes me, too, to cry for someone I've never met. And though we've never met, I do feel I know you. And because I know you, I hope that you will come through this as soon as possible. Certainly this Forum would be less than it is without you, but more importantly, I greatly suspect this world would be poorer without you. And most of all, I can feel the love in Karen's short post and I've no doubt your children feel the same.

You may not know it, but in the earlier parts of the week there were postings on different threads with the same question, "Where's Catspaw?" We knew you were gone for the weekend, but by Tuesday 'Catters were getting concerned.

You will have my prayers and hopes until you get well. I know you are damned stubborn and determined and will place your mighty will against this adversity. Godspeed, Catspaw. You have made my life a happier one in the few short months you've been on the 'Cat. I look forward to more of that crazy humor and thowe wise thoughts.

Love,

RiB

ps: Did I tell you I like that little "nickname" you gave me? Well, if not, I want you to know I do. Makes me feel special that I've got a piece of your creativity!
