Wow. I'm surprised how few responses this thread got. But all that matters to me is the ones who did respond and say well wishes for my family. All I can say is that I know of one or two PTers who, if they had a thread like this, would have had three pages of replies by now. Sad that the internet is like that.

But now I do know who I can really value on PT.

Merry Christmas to all those who replied.
