Thank you for all the selflessness you've showed when pouring so much of your valuable time and effort into this community. Your wife was lucky to have someone like you to look after her, and like other posters have said, she wouldn't want you to suffer.
Sending love your way RR

RogerRabbit said: Thanks for the nice comments. I started to make a thread to say goodbye but saw this one. People need to realize I'm not moving on because of my new business-I'm moving on because of the abject failure of my most important mission in life.
Those of you who have followed this site for a few years know my wife Vivian has been fighting cancer for over ten years. She appears in a few of the clips on Let's Grow Mushrooms, which I got out and watched yesterday just to have a chance to see her smiling face again.
My baby, the love of my life and my very reason for living died in my arms over the holidays.
I suffered through 4 failed marriages before I found her. I always knew that with Vivian I had true love and that it wasn't conditional on being in a good mood, or having a good financial year, or always saying the right thing, etc. She was the only person I ever had who loved me no-matter-what and made sure I knew it. Now she's gone after 15 wonderful years, and I'm all alone up here in the middle of nowhere.
I started growing medicinal mushrooms instead of psychedelic when we met because I was sure I could save her. John Holliday of Aloha Medicinals graciously provided her with products not yet on market but which had shown promise in jump-starting the immune system. She got a medical marijuana card in 2000 and a designated provider certificate for me so I could grow medical pot. I've developed a high CBD strain that achieves nearly 20% CBD because it's rumored to impeded tumor growth.
Unfortunately, none of it worked and the only person I've ever truly loved in this world is gone. My heart is broken and I've spent most of the last three weeks curled up in a fetal position on the floor bawling my eyes out.
How can I continue to answer questions about mushroom growing when the most important reason for growing them in the first place turned out to be a devastating failure?
Our local newspaper did a front-page story on her. If anyone can get it, please post it here. If not, I'll try to scan it and get it posted in a few weeks. It's on the front page of the Jan 14, 2015 issue of the Ferry County View. It gives information that I've never released before about her life in Russia and the sacrifices her family went through to get to America.
Take care, RR
i am sorry for your loss i know it must be hard but i am sure you tried everything you could.

I'm so, so sorry to hear about your wife, RR.
While I haven't been an active member I frequently research this forum for advice and information. Every time RR posted information or helped answer a question I knew I could trust his word. He readily shared his knowledge and the amount he contributed to this community was astounding.
Thank you for everything you've done for us.

Man, that's really sad to read. I never had any personal interaction with RR but I've read many of his informative posts. Losing your partner of 15 years must be horrendously painful. My heart goes out to him, and I think I speak for the entire community when I say that his research has been invaluable, and that his legacy and hard work will be a benchmark for all aspiring cultivators.

ah that's very sad news all around. had a couple of posts from him and have read his words over and over and laughed at his choice of incidental music on his DVD's loads of times, and just wanted to one of the many to say thanks for all your help and wisdom and research and hard work and inspiration
I feel chuffed that I had the chance to interact in the tiniest of ways, and also to enjoy the fruits of his labour so to speak. Bless you and all your friends and family and big hugs and sadness at your loss. The Big C is really dark, I know it al too well, and all I can do is say thanks again, you're a legend sir
cheers

edit - just read Rogers last post and both me and my missus have had a good cry. I don't know if that helps anyone but us, but if we can somehow share your loss and anguish and help wick away some of the awful awful pain, then we're happy to do that. x
also, I have to say that loving and caring for your wife for 10 years is no failure at all. That's one of the best success stories I've ever heard in terms of cancer, and sometimes you just can't do anything, and if you shared a love like that, you're lucky indeed. She knows what you did and I don't think anyone could not realise how special they were. You certainly did not fail.

I am new here but you can easily see RR's presence everywhere on the site with his intense knowledge and his interest in squashing any mis-information on the boards. I've actually been trying to go through all his past posts, which is hard but I try to mostly read the longer (more than 100 words) ones. It'd be great if someone could create a best-of-RR though. I honestly learned a whole lot from his comments over the years and I'm sure there are some gems I haven't seen. I don't think I'll get through all of his history of course.
I made a cute gif of RR from one of his videos but it's not within the upload limits of the site. Oh well.

Thanks a bunch RR. Long before this post I looked up what the Latin in your sig means. It sounds like the level is pretty high right now for you. I wish you nothing but the best, and hope you find some peace man. Much love. Bear
