    Thanks so much, Guy. Will you be onboard for the FWC meeting if it happens on a weekend? I can tell you right now, my head's not gonna be in the game for a while.

    Hi Lee, I would be able to help as well on a weekend if I get advanced notice. I also have a friend wo is a FWC officer that also wheels a lot. Let me know what you need and when.

    Hang in there and take your time as you need it. I also lost someone this year and it is hard, but we learn to live with it. All the best, and let us know if you need anything.

    Cheers to your mum

    Thanks, Kai. I'll keep you guys apprised if and when I hear anything from the FWC. Sheesh, I still haven't gotten that permit yet. :rolleyes:

    I appear to be dealing better than I expected, but that could be just because it hasn't fallen on me and squashed me yet. I'm hanging in there though, largely due to everyone's support. You guys are the best.

    Not sure, my Saturday's are usually dedicated to Tom and CJ's football and soccer teams. I'm following the thread on FB and will support the group where I can.

    Thanks Brett. I appreciate all the thoughts and support I'm getting from my TW family, as well as my other friends and family. I've been kept pretty busy, so I haven't really had a chance to let it sink in. It still doesn't seem real, even after making arrangements with the funeral home. You'd think that would make it seem real, but I guess I'm still in the denial phase.
