I'm actually having troubles breathing now, so it's time to say goodbye. I honestly do find myself caring about you all. You have balls of steel. I have known you for my entire adult life. I have known you since JR year in high-school. You have had a good and soft heart, always. Yer a fucking stud. Anybody who can embrace the next unknown with clarity and peace...that's something. 1 2
Nevada Convert Posted January 10 Author Posted January 10 If anyone is interested in adopting one of my adorable strays, please contact my sister Suzie Ama: suzie.ama@gmail.com. I wish I had more time to make it happen myself. I'm just now having troubles breathing and there's no time to make Oregon happen, now. Looks like I'll have to move on right away in a couple of hours. 3
BSUTOP25 Posted January 10 Posted January 10 @Nevada Convert - as you’re aware, I’ve went through some rough instances with terminal disease myself. I want you to know that I’m sorry you’re having to embark on this difficult path. Just please know that your friends here care about you and we’re here to support you when and if you need to tell us what you’re dealing with at any point in time. God bless you. 2
tailingpermit Posted January 10 Posted January 10 This is incredibly sad, I hope you find peace quickly. You’ll always be my favorite centrist! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 1

I just wanted to let everyone know that most of my act for many years was just that, and it's intention was good fun. But I also wanted to apologize if I went over the line with some of you, including Pack Nation and Pdoc. You're both good men, I can tell...even though we sparred so much. God bless you both. In real life I'm the nicest guy you'll ever meet, and getting baby formula and things like that are much more life my real persona. I wish all of you to have a great life and may the Good Lord bless all of you. I'm in tremendous pain, and looking to go to Oregon to get it over right away. I wish more states were like this. I just can't take the pain. To my fellow Pack fans, keep the Pack alive with your never ending support. Go Pack! To everyone else, thanks for all the great times, and hope you teams all kick ass every year. I wish you all health and happiness into the future. Sean, you're a great New Mexico fan and one of the best men I've ever known. I love you, brother! With Sincerety with Love, Nevada Convert (Mike Braithwaite) My Grandmother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given a year (at most) to live and her church and our family prayed over her and she lived another 14 years in good health for the most part. So I'm going to start posting your real name now that I know it on my churches prayer list and a couple of other's that I use. Miracles do happen, I've witnessed it. *God bless you Mike, I hope you'll change your mind. Hang on brother, in Jesus holy name. Amen! 1
stanfordchef Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Convert I love you man. So sorry to hear this. Always have been my favorite poster here. Joe from Wyo 1
thelawlorfaithful Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Well if nobody else is going to say it I will. I hope you reconsider. Life, however limited and full of pain, is full of possibilities. The world is a better place with you in it. 5 2

Unfortunately, there are forces beyond us that make it impossible to keep going. 2 2

TTT, I always liked your anti-SAN banter even though I have a soft spot for them. It's just been all in good fun. You're a good man, and I wish you the best.

No joke, this may be the most moving thing I've ever seen on here. Here's to you and your family. In the words of Vonnegut, "so it goes." We'll all be in the same place sometime soon. Hopefully we'll see you there. 5 1

CPslograd Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Well shit, Mike/Convert. Really not sure what to say. You and I have talked a lot over the years, usually on the same side, occasionally not. I'll never forget your posts on the cat thread. Loved those. Loved talking about Ridgecrest with you, liked bitching about Boise with you. Your post about the "scientists" estimating the total number of ants in the world is probably my all time favorite. Mostly just enjoyed conversing with you and listening to some of your stories, which were usually pretty good. I guess the Grim Reaper comes calling on all of us someday, we never know when or how. I'll genuinely miss you and consider you a friend. Always looked forward to reading your posts. 1

I've always loved how cool and classy you've always remained on the boards. I always loved your posts. This is my last post. Appreciate what this place and the MWC Board has been since 2007. Take care, guys. 1 1 1
