In order to do a blog real justice, I am a firm believer you really should want to have a conversation with the internet community, and put some serious energy into it. It’s been a privilege to be a Microsoft spokesperson for many years and I hope I earned your respect.
But it had to take a back seat. My wife Nacheska and I discovered in late 2011 she had a stage four Gliosarcoma brain tumor. Needless to say this was terrible news. Survivability for this type of cancer is practically nil. There are rare exceptions, but really really rare.
Nacheska passed away on March 29, 2013. She is no longer suffering. The quality of her life the past year and half was pretty good. As good as it could be under the circumstances.
Over forty years of professional dancing helped her in many ways. She had some miraculous recoveries from the various surgeries and episodes. She spent quite a lot of quality time with everyone in our family and I am extremely thankful for all of the support from them, our friends, customers, the medical community and the first responders here in Southlake, Texas.
I will write more about Nacheska. I shot some excellent video of her last fall. It was a beautiful time of year, and it was really good to see her healthy, happy and in her element, dancing!
My family and I are healing. It’s going to take some time but we are all getting back in the saddle again. I still have some pretty big tasks to settle various aspects of her estate, but I promise some high quality blogging soon.
On the bright side, I’ve changed some habits and as a result have dropped forty pounds. Fruit and vegetables are good for you! Who knew?
Anyway, I thought I should at least tell you where they hell I’ve been and why. As I said on twitter, I’m back.
