Honestly, as much as I would love to have a Dog Father in hand, I can wait. I have been through enough family emergencies of my own that I understand completely. When someone close to you is sick or injured everything else becomes of secondary importance. Knives can wait, family cannot.

In a way, I feel like I am a part of the Busse family, as are the rest of you on these forums. I don't post a heck of a lot, but I read most posts and I think that we are a family of sorts. Look at the way forumites support each other. Isn't that what family does? Well right now some of our family is tied up with a very real crisis of their own. There is not much we can do to help except to express our concern, our love and our support.

Family first. Always and forever.
