Sorry Mike

[adamh]

I have had the opportunity to attend at least 11 Mikeyfest and speak at several of them. I was slated to speak at this one in AZ and was looking forward to working on the Ronald McDonald house with many of you.
My 85 year old Father lives with us and is really struggling with his memory. When I am gone he really has a hard time. They are trying a new medication and hopefully it will help with his anxiety. Yesterday one of my Lead Techs just gave notice ( during a very busy time of year) We are struggling to keep up with three trucks, now we will be down to two.
So between my father and down a tech I will not be able to hang out with you guys at Mikeyfest. I was looking forward to speaking.

I spoke with Mike and he was understanding about me bowing out at last minute and leaving a speaking spot open and leaving him hi and dry.

Adam your presence will be greatly missed.

Your speeches are heartfelt and thought provoking. However you have far more important duty at home.

Take care of your father and your business. I hope to catch up to you again further down the road.

When I'm asked how it feels to take care of my mother, who is helpless in dementia, I'm reminded that she took care of me in the helplessness of my infancy.

I am sorry for your father's struggles Adam, and what you now are doing is the bittersweet way we often repay our parents for the unconditional love they gave us when our lives began.

No worries Adam, sure beats the "a two roomer" called in last night excuse.


Hope to see you in Vegas or Florida



Go hug your pops.

Adam...no need to apologize. You are doing what you need to do for your family and I think everyone gets and respects that. Thoughts and prayers for you to get through these unsettled times both on the business and personal side.

I’m willing to speak on bulletin board posting in your place.

All expenses paid, of course.

I have learned a lot about posting from Marty and when it’s appropriate to call someone ... idiot. Would be a good class and probably a great time to take a nap.

 

[PrimaDonna]

@hogjowl it would be awesome if you came and spoke. Please consider doing it.

too late, he's been replaced with a (free) professional stand up comic, who happens to be a part time carpet cleaner.
