A Personal Note from the Editor
Dear friends,
The Argentine Post is a blog about culture, economics, entertainment, food and politics, among other things. It rarely has been a personal blog about me or any other contributor. However, recent events have affected me personally in a way that affects this blog and my contribution to it.
My great friend, beloved and otherwise-healthy mother was recently diagnosed with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, a dreadful disease which does everything it can to suck the life out of you. I am with family and taking care of my mother at a hospital in the U.S., where we are hoping, praying and fighting for remission.
During this time, I will not be able to respond to many emails or post about matters profound or mundane. To the extent possible, friends, fellow journalists and other contributors will do this for me. If you have emailed me and not gotten a response, my sincere apologies. At some point, I will try to catch up with the hundreds of emails that have gone unread.
Life is short, very short. As my mother has always reminded me through her actions: Forgive genuinely, give generously and love unconditionally.
Kind wishes and a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.

Taos,
I’m sad to know you’re facing such difficult times. I sincerely wish your mom the best and I hope she makes a speedy recovery. To you and the rest of your family, may you find the strength to help her do so.
May the season be merry and peaceful for you all!
I’m saddened to read of your mother’s health. Your love and support will help her through these dark days.
Nuestro corazon esta alla con el tuyo y el de tu familia. Fuerza!
I wish you and your family all the best.
Of course you must put family first. I wish you and your family all the best.

Taos TE QUEREMO MUCHO!!!! Estamos con vos, todos los días, con el pensamiento, con la energía, mandando a la distancia mucha fuerza!!! Sabemos de que estás hecho, así que fuerza amigo!!!!
I’m sorry to hear about your mother. My father had the same illness several years ago. The only cure then was a bone marrow transplant, which my father was too old to tolerate. I wish you and your mother the best. I know what you’re going through.
Taos,
Sorry to hear about your mother.
Your blog is excellent and informative but some things are far more important.
I wish you all the best and strength in the coming weeks.
Best wishes in your situation. I experienced something similar with my Mother several years ago. It is a horrible thing to go through.
Regards and TRY and enjoy the holidays!
bless you and your family. we are all one
I wish all the best in this dificult situation
From here praying that everything goes well

Dear Taos:
I will keep her in my prayers. Remember, statistics are for populations and your mother is an individual. Do not get discouraged by looking at statistics about AML.
Every day above ground is a great day! Enjoy her and your family.
Life is short, so walk slow!
God Bless you and your family.
Taos:
our prayers are with you and your mom. I love what DocConosur said: “Enjoy her and your family. Life is short, so walk slow!”
Walk slow…
Mary Christmas and happy New years!
I hope your Mom gets well soon!!

Have a Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year
Peace and love be with you, your mother and family.
Sorry to hear your bad news – wishing you the best

Mucho ánimo y paz mental para vos y toda tu familia, especialmente tu mamá. Compartí todo lo que puedas con tu familia, que es lo más lindo que tenemos (estén cerca o lejos). Lo primero es la familia!! decía un compatriota por TV hace algunos años…
Just hope for all of you to have that inner strenght that comes from God.
Do not give up.
