I was scrolling through some of Raven's comments at the VX site again just now, and found a post TO him from another poster that I thought you might enjoy:

"Good perspective in bad situation:
I am sorry about your situation and sorry you have to sell one of your toys, but remember there will always be another one to buy, but never a way to turn back the time and love your family the way it seems like you are. You are willing to let go of something you take pride in/enjoy, for the good of your family and that shows good character. Sorry about the situation, but congrats on your perspective and care for your family's well being.
In Christ,
Ryan"
And again, Raven's response on February 3. 2005:
"Ryan,
Thanks for the warm wishes. At the ripe old age of 25 I am learning to grow up. I guess a child and some bad turns does that for you! All in all, my wife and I are loving life and things are really looking up. Just the other day I got a job offer. While its not in the range I was hoping to make, I think I am going to take it because it is something I love to do and I ahve the potential of earning more money in the short term if I am successful.
My wife is working full time too. Its been h ard on her being away from our little guy all day, but we have a wonderful friend who is watching him and we are spending 100% of our time with hime when we aren't at work!
I may not sell the VX after all!!!"
