As many of you know, we are running behind due to a prolonged family illness. Brian's dad has terminal cancer along with a host of other illnesses.

Papa lives with us and for the most part we have been total caregivers. It's very hard spiritually, physically, & emotionally to watch someone you love wither away to a fraction of the greatness that he once was.

Some of you have been offering prayers and words of comfort during this difficult chapter in our lives, and for that we are very grateful. While others have chosen to kick someone while they are down and pelted us with snide, crude remarks and threats.

Please know we have full intentions of mounting every bird we have gotten in to the best of our ability and talents.

The days of Papa being here with us are winding down, and we are getting things set up for Hospice.

I know many of you don't care, and are only concerned with getting your bird mount back, but you only have 1 Dad, and when he's gone, he's gone. And we know in our heart, when Papa passes, that we did everything we could to show him love and help him through his illness. He was not alone. We have NO REGRETS.

Tell those around you how Thankful you are to have them in your life.

Thank you for your patience.
