Hey guys,

This an apology to anyone who's chips I have. There are not too many of you, but I am aware that there are a few who I've had your chips for way too long and my communication has been poor at best. I made estimates to get work done and I have not held up my end of the bargain. For all of this, I am sorry.

The past 18 months or so has been a really rough time for me and my family. I recently had 4 members of my immediate family + a dog all die within 9 months. For those of you that don't know or who have not been through the loss of someone close to you, it isn't something that you would wish on an enemy. For many older people, the months and even years leading up to death can be filled with Dr. appointments, procedures and stints in the hospital. At some point most will need help with the most basic life functions like dressing, eating and bathing etc. All of this is NO FUN! Coordinating and facilitating all of this can easily turn into a full time job for just one. It does not end with end of life. In some ways it does get easier, but there are plenty of things that need to happen both in the short and long term. Multiply all of this by 4 and you have something will consume just about all of your time and energy for a very long time.

I kept thinking that I could get past everything described above and get everyone's chips taken care of in a reasonable time frame, but it isn't happening. Just taking the time to sit down to send someone here a PM explaining all of this has been too much for me for way too long. I really feel bad, but I just have to accept that I am currently unable to finish what I have started. Here is what I can do for you if you are one of the ones that I have your chips:

Current Status for Me:
- No new work. I suppose this could change in the future, but for now I am out of the chip murdering business.
- If I have your chips and you want me to send them back to you, I will return them. Whatever work is done is on me and return postage on me.
- If I have your chips and you want me to finish the work, I will but you are going to have to be patient. I am sure this will change, but in the near term I am spending basically no time working on chips. I will get to all of them eventually, but it's going to take a while. I have to get through the crap above 1st and honestly I just don't know how long all of that is going to take.

Again, sorry guys.

Man, I lost three family members over the course of 16 months, I can’t fathom four over nine months….my heart goes out to you. I remember what that period of my life was like…praying for you to find peace and clarity in time.
 
Only been involved peripherally and mainly as another MN chipper. Rough patch to say the least. Sorry for life piling up on you and in some of the worst ways imaginable. Hopefully, those involved more directly will work with you and see things through in a way that works for all. If there’s anything I can do as a MN guy LMK. I’m 10 minutes from MSP International.

Be well and know that everyone knows how hard it probably was to pen your apology and the hard backstory.

Be well.

I'm so sorry for your losses. I can't even imagine the kind of toll of that many tragedies in such a short time can do to a person. Hang in there, Alan.
 
@Nanook I am so sorry to hear about your losses. I’ve been through though the loss of my dogs and it was brutal so I can’t imagine losing close family members and your dog. If you ever need anything don’t hesitate to reach out. Losing people sucks and nobody can blame you for taking time to grieve :(
 
Oh damn. Just seeing this. So sorry to hear about everything you’ve been put through Alan. I’ve been through it myself and you are correct… The before and the after is just as difficult. Keep your chin up and know that everyone here on PCF has your back. My deepest condolences to you for all that you’ve been through. Please take care of yourself.
