A note, an offering, a test of faith

[KSig RC]

A forum for this doesn't really exist, so I guess I can just wing it, and
put it here - I joke around a lot on here, I'm not very serious often or
really put myself out there. I guess it's just sort of that time, you know?
I guess I should probably preface this by saying that it's not that bad, it's
less awful than it sounds (but still pretty rough to go through).

For a while, i've been hiding something from you guys, something big.
Only a few of my friends know, and my parents, my boss at work, and
obviously my doctor. I've been diagnosed with a relatively rare, progressive
lung condition. It can be combated, but the treatments are aggressive and
sound somewhat awkward to go through.

Do I really want sympathy? Not really - I loath that kind of trashy, selfish
outreaching that goes on here in GCLand. I guess, more than anything, it's
usually more my style to be open, candid, and blunt. LOL, most know that I
can barely keep my mouth shut for thirty seconds. I guess that I just want to
have this opportunity to invite you all to be close to family. Love them. Try to
enrich your lives now, because you might never have the chance before that
something serious comes along unexpectedly.
