My trip to NYC has been canceled
Thursday, January 21, 2010 at 08:41PM For those who are registered for either my Calumet or B&H talks on the 26th and 27th in NYC, I won't be able to make it to NYC for these talks. My mother has been battling cancer for more than 7 months now, and we are gathering the family to say goodbye to her. I apologize if this is an inconvenience, however I trust that you understand why I won't be able to make it.
The Calumet event is so a 'go', and my friend Andrew Darlow will be filling in for me. The B&H event has been canceled and we will hopefully reschedule it for another time later in the year.
Thank you for understanding. It is a very difficult time for the family right now, and home is where I need and want to be.
**Update Jan 24. Thank you for all of your private emails and prayers. My mother passed away this morning, and is now in heaven with her Lord. Please pray for peace for my father, as the coming days and months are going to be very difficult.

correct decision. Good luck
Sorry to hear about your mother Andy - you are definitely making the right choice. You can always give a talk, but you can't always talk to those that you love. Family always comes first, and yours is in our thoughts. Take care.
Sorry to hear about your mother, Andy. My thoughts and prayers will go out to you and your family in this tough time. I'm sure everyone that signed up for your events will thoroughly understand.
All the best,
Dave
Everyone here is very sorry to hear about your mother's situation and we all understand your priorities. We hope for the best and we're confident you're doing the right thing

Sorry to hear about that Andy. I'm sure the photographers understand why you had to cancel.
