It's been quite a long time since I've been here. And yes, I do feel a bit guilty for having to make some rather difficult decisions because of the various turn of events the family has been having to deal with. Anyone who wishes to discuss these things may inquire privately, I just think it's inappropriate to simply broadcast it over the net for all to see.  I'm just very glad, and honored to see that my Minti family is still going strong and living well.
