Hey, guys, I'm back. I apologize that 2018 did not have any Boomas cards. The international "headquarters" of Boomboxery moved late October / early November. It would have been a race to get the artwork completed and sent to the card printer, but it seemed possible at the time. I had already acquired lots of source images for inspiration.
But then... my dad died two weeks after Mrs. Fatdog and I moved into our new house. He had a massive heart attack in the car while he and my mother were going shopping. My mother tried to flag down some help, but people just kept driving by until she actually pulled the car into traffic and stopped. A couple got out to help and the husband tried to get my dad out of the car, but could not, so CPR could not be administered. By the time the ambulance arrived, my dad had been without oxygen for about 25 minutes. He still had no heartbeat when he arrived at the hospital. However, after five defibs, the emergency personnel were able to get a pulse. The outlook wasn't great, but we hoped for the best. Unfortunately for us, he decided he needed a long break and said goodbye after about 30 hours in ICU.
Needless to say, my world stopped for a while.
Perhaps I will complete the 2018 Boomas cards and still mail them - just a little late.

Bobby, so sorry to hear about that, I'm sure it was heartbreaking. Please accept my condolences. As for the cards, forget about them, you have other more important things to deal with and recover from. I always looked at these cards as a welcome gift, but certainly never felt entitled to them. Maybe just use them as a head start for 2019 if you feel up to it at that time. But you should keep a list. And strike anyone that pesters for a card haha.
Hey fd, can only echo what has been said, my heartfelt condolences. I lost my dad at 16 so understand how hard it is, just remember all the good years you had together.
Im sorry we can only provides words where they are not enough. My best to you and family.

I'm so sorry to hear of this news. It always seems to be more difficult when it happens so suddenly. A huge and sincere condolence from all your friends here on Boomboxery. Give your mom a big hug for us all. Sounds like she is a very levelheaded individual who, through her quick and responsive actions, gave your father the best possible opportunity for survival. From what I can tell by getting to know you on the forums, it sounds like your father did a great job raising his son and I am sure was proud of you all.
Sorry for your loss fatdog. Like mentioned above, family comes first. Don't worry about us/this.
I'm so sorry about his passing Fatdog, it breaks my heart to know where you're at right now. Remember the good times and know that we're family here and thinking about you. Hang in there bro, better days are ahead.
Thanks, guys. It gets easier, but there are still small moments when memories overwhelm you and all you can do is just sit there and try to smile through them. Tell those people who mean the most to you that you love them, and just be excellent to each other.
