Lost passion, hope it comes back

[deadballpaul]

For the past year or so, I've been steadily losing interest in the hobby. However, I can feel deep inside that it's still there. Sold a large chunk of my collection to move back to be near my parents. Been buying here and there, but passing up cards I normally would have bid like crazy for. The diminished passion seems to have started when my father became ill. Well, he died this morning after a long battle with colon cancer. I feel devastated, but at the same time some relief. I'm sorry to bring this up, but I feel I have some friends here. I know I haven't contributed as much as most of you, but I enjoy this site. I hope the passion comes back, & I think it will, but not sure. 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
