Lost passion, hope it comes back

Sorry for your loss too. Really, baseball cards should have zero priority or low passion right now. I would say step away for a few months and then re-evaluate your goals. For me it ended up in non-sports though I still hang aroung the baseball side.

Paul. you take the time to grieve and remember the happy times w your dad. Last October. my dad was diagnosed w stage four cancer in several spots, and was gone November 16. I hadn't seen him since he got remarried in June 09, as he lived down south and I couldn't afford the visit.

The point for my ramble is , that at times like these, TRY and think of the good times and the memories you will always have. When the time is right, the hobby may come back for you, but your friends/family on here and otherwise, will always be there for you.

Remember this .."IM never gonna lose your precious gift, it will always be that way, and I know Im gonna find, my own piece of mind someday".

Your dad is at Peace and out of pain, as is my dad. May God be with you in this time and my condolences to you , your family, friends and everyone affected by this loss.

Scott Roberts.

My father would probably be still alive & well today if he would have had a regular colonoscopy exam. Please don't shy away from this part of your health exams. Sincerely, Paul

The fact that you bring this up (ie. offering helpful advice to others) during your time of sorrow says a lot about your character, and obviously your Dad raised a good person. My condolences to you and your family. Maybe one day your passion for the hobby will return, as it has happened for so many.
