For those not aware,
Bernie has been fighting cancer and in January, after he and his life-long wife Rose were napping, she did not wake up. Bernie disappeared from the forums due to this devastating loss and due to his computer crashing. A very kind member here on TG bought him a tablet and drove to Bernie's house and delivered the tablet and gave Bernie a quick tutorial on using the tablet. While Bernie still fights the hand he's been dealt by life, he also fights on how to adjust from a laptop to a tablet.
Hang in there, Marine. You are family here.
Bernie posted this in the TGMM forum. The new site here on TG has him a bit discombobulated as well.

Hi. y'all and the usual (heartfelt) thanks. Some things a little better (eating a little more regular, and gaining a tad of weight, dealing with being alone a little better) and Some not so much so (arms still like sticks but healthier looking, trouble with taxes - never had that before but just can't wrap my mind around it now and keep making stupid little mistakes - am in/on extension now and have made an appointment for Mon. with a professional to straighten out my mess). LOL - I swear I'd just let it slide (if possible) but THEY owe ME over 2 and a half thou - so that ain't happening - LOL
My mind is just not coping as well as it used to but I'm pretty sure it is just more than I can seem to deal with, and not a serious loss or failure of abilities. Still haven't got back to daily exercise program but know I must - SOONER THAN LATER!
Please keep pulling for me and I will check in from time to time (as I feel up to it). Just don't expect too much out of me for now.
If someone could (and would), I would appreciate if you'd copy my post to TG I still love and miss all of you dear friends - I am just missing Rose more, I guess :archer:
Hang in there brother. Semper Fi

Hang tough Bernie-you've been at this stuff before and got through it, just another bump in your road. Best to you.
Bernie:
You have been dealt a difficult hand, and I am sending prayers (as I am sure many others are) for health, comfort and peace for you.
Joe
Thoughts and prayers are with you
Best wishes and good luck sir. So many good people here. Let us know if you need anything, anything at all.
Hang in there Bernie. I miss your posts, and always enjoy bidding on the super unique items you donate to the St. Jude auction
Hang in there Bernie. We're here for you!
Bernie, life asks for same terrible trails just face them and don't give up. Prayers sent.
Heartfelt thoughts for you Bernie. You are one of a kind and the tradgang family misses you here sir. :pray:
I feel for you brother, prayers sent. I'm dealing with the loss of my daughter in December so I know how you feel.
I called Bernie yesterday evening.
We had a great chat...guessing it lasted a hour or so. I am greatly encouraged by his progress....had a few chuckles and touched on the Saint Jude effort. This is his home - y'all are family indeed!
Bern knows and appreciates everyone pulling for him and he's gaining ground daily!
:campfire:
:pray: Bernie praying for you!
