I had not read the forums in some time and just learned about this...
I'm very sorry to hear about your loss bro, but at the same time I'm happy to know that you're well and kicking. The loss of no plant can be compared to lossing such a great breeder and guy like yourself
I'm sure that you'll be able to come up with many great crosses and win more awards in the future, but making another one of you, that would be imposible!
