I just wrapped up an unexpected week with my mom, who lives 2 hours away. She is a brave, amazing woman dealing with a whole host of medical issues. Completely unfair after caring for my step-dad through his 10-year journey with Alzheimer's. I'm glad there are home health and home care services that can help her remain as independent as possible for as long as possible. I spent the week driving her to and attending medical appointments and getting her plugged in to health and care assistance in her home. She had just moved, so I was also helping her to unpack and get things set up.

I am back at home this AM and have discovered that Luke753 sent me his opening salvo of a trade we had started to discuss over the summer. Holy cow, Brother! Thank you so much for your timing and your selection! With the stuff with my mom going on, I found myself getting all sentimental and s*it as I was checking out the cigars. The kindness and generosity of this community when the opportunity/need arises always blows me away. Luke753 is one heck of a BOTL.

Here are the amazing contents:

You rock, Luke. Return fire is in your near future. Just remember: When you least expect it, expect it.

Thx, Brother. I sure appreciate it. No posts about it. This is the first. It has just felt too overwhelming to try to write up.

I'm just about to head out to the front porch and have my first cigar in a week. I feel the blood pressure starting to drop as I type...

Just get though each day NW. And know you are doing the best you can for her. Sorry this is happening to her and you.

Enjoy them...
One day I know I will be walking a very similar path to yours. Too many with illnesses go through it without the support that she has in you. I'll be keeping you both in my prayers.

Nice hit there, Luke...
