I would like to thank you all for your concerns and positive thoughts. I've greatly enjoyed your PMs and best wishes.

 Being a survivor takes the skills, knowledge and empathy of many individuals. Having the love and support of your family, is a gift from God. When various procedures are being endured, your only thoughts and efforts are to finish that day, knowing that tomorrow will be one of the same. Each of those days becomes the totality of your efforts. Progress is measured in increments, not milestones.

For some time, I've requested the "Boss" to monitor the forum. I'm not speaking of Bruce Springsteen, rather more akin to Retento's "Supreme Commander". Apparently there are now many new members, some of whom having specific knowledge about the various aspects of trailer ownership. This is good news for the survival of the forum; you have to grow and change, to maintain viability.

I hope not to soon leave the forum. When I do, it won't be because of a tire issue. I have learned much from my membership, met many good people, and very much enjoyed another "family".

Again, thank you.      Gard

Good to see you up and about....!!!

Gard, I had not been to the site in a while but, was very excited to come here and ask a gazillion questions about my new LQ trailer. 

Imagine my dismay when I saw that you were no where to be found!  (GASP!)

It's wonderful to see that you have returned just in time for me to pick your brain and bask in the splendor of your knowledge.

Welcome back Gard.  You have been missed.  I know many prayers have been said and I, for one, will continue my prayers for your complete recovery.

Mary
