This is not a post i really wanted to make but i have to. First i would like to say thank you to all the BTB'ers that were willing to surrender those tickets to me. It brought some sunshine into an other wise dark life. But my wife and I are going to have to respectfully decline the tickets. We just flat out can not afford the trip at this time. Believe me, we tried every way possible to make it happen but we just could not do it. Things are really tight right now with both of us missing so much work and having to pay for things that we never ever imagined having to pay for. I won't everyone to understand that this is not a plea for donations or anything like that. You guys have done enough with all of your comments, prayers, and the tickets themselves. It absolutely sucks because i was really looking foward to it but, facts are facts and right now we just can't afford it. So I didn't want to wait till the last second and have the tickets and then not be able to go. I dont know what he is going to do about redistrubting the tickets to some other lucky person but who ever gets them keep me and my baby girl in your thoughts. Again, thanks to everyone who agreed to give me the tickets. I just apologize for not being able to hold up my end of deal.

Thanks again everyone,

Tarheel Paul
