We will all miss BRK. Other hunter blogs, I’m sure, do a wonderful job of opening people’s ideas to new thoughts, play styles, etc. BRK was unique. I don’t think anyone will make me laugh the way he did, and I will never forget his voice, literally. But I’m happy he’s focusing on what’s really important, and I truly hope it all works out for the best. Real life > Wow. And on that note, I hope Cass and Alex are feeling better soon!!!

Wind, thinking of you, Cassie and Alex. Hope they come good soon and that you are the cuddly servile bear able to look after them in the manner which they require.

I had some variation of pneumonia in 8th grade, I remember, and I didn't even get to miss a day of school. This is what comes of having a Pediatrician father and an RN for a mother, just take the inhaler thingy and go. I remember the funny whizzing noise it made when you sucked in on it and it broke open that capsule.... Also, coughing is srs bsns! President Madagascar will shut down all of the ports if he hears of one.

Hope the wife and your son are getting better. I’m almost over a month long case of bronchitis so I feel for yall. It’s hard to have a child that sick and you can’t fix it without depending on someone else.

Sick kids are not good – ever. Hope your two recover quickly. I just found out about spacers for inhalers from a RN that works with the American Lung Assoc. Never knew about them and how they actually deliver inhaler meds to your lungs not back of throat!

As for BRK . . . hopefully he’ll find a way to merge family consideration with a modified WoW life.

I was put on a nebulizer-based medication while really sick in my mid-20s.

It was the first time in my life that my yearly horrific respiratory illness actually went away quickly. And it didn’t really come back on a regular basis, not since that time.

It’s a great solution. Way better than the straight inhaler…when I try to use those, it hits the back of my throat, I gag and then the medicine doesn’t go anywhere useful.

oh no – I hope your family gets well quickly. poor little guy /hug

As for BRK – I’m going to miss his quirky posts most. As much as I respect his theorycrafting abilities – I prefer Drotara’s take on it, personally :P but BRK stories his boundless enthusiasm, his sense of humor- that cannot be replaced.

I hope your son makes a speedy recovery. My five-year old daughter had it a few months ago. She missed 3 days of school, received plenty of rest while she was home. I’m sure I annoyed her hovering over her to make sure she was fine.

I don’t read BRK daily, but I do stop by on occasion to see what he’s going on in the huntering community. I really enjoy his videos. His passion comes through crystal clear. He’s an excellent writer. I’ll definitely miss checking out his commentaries but… I’m really glad he has made the decision to put his family first. Priorities, such as family, take precedence over social activities like WOW. Children grow up so quickly, best to enjoy these precious moments now (along with those other important people in your life) so you don’t have regrets later. The song Cats in the Cradle by Harry Chapin is playing in my mind.

My 3 yo daughter had it not too long ago. Nothing is more sad than seeing a little one on the nebulizer and trying to be brave about it :(

Hope all of yours get well soon!
