Words from TC
First, I want to thank you all for the wonderful wishes, prayers, and words of encouragement you sent to me recently; I am grateful, and I am humbled. Your words made me smile and certainly made these difficult challenges easier to accept, and some awfully long days much brighter. I cannot thank you enough for your friendship and kindness.
They say the true tests of life are not how well you do when things are going right, but how quickly you get back up and back in the race when you fall. We all like to think we will never fall, but we all do.
And when you fall hard, it is difficult to get back up; it is even harder to do it alone. That is why your words of encouragement and your prayers are so greatly appreciated and mean so much to me.
Cloudeight Stuff
It looks like it will still be four or five days before I can get back to work. If you have sent me an email needing help with something, I will make every effort to answer you as soon as possible.
If we had a Cloudeight session scheduled, I will reach out to you to reschedule just as soon as I can.
Friday’s Newsletter
For the first time in over 20 years, there will be no newsletter sent this Friday. We hope to resume all newsletters starting sometime during the week of August 17th.
In the meantime, Darcy will be filling orders, answering email, and keeping things going as best as she can.
Again… from the bottom of my heart… thank you for your friendship, good wishes, and prayers!
All the best,
TC
In the last few years I have had a few of those ‘falls’. Never thought it would happen but they did. Makes one appreciate the little things in life. I do hope you will recover from this and put it behind you. God bless you for all you do.
TC,
Obviously, your fingers still work!
Not to feel any pressure for your work or replies to subscribers, make yourself #1 this time!
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

We all have these “setback” moments in life.
I certainly have….
Take this time to go within and rejuvenate.
Evaluate if you are doing too much and let “things” go if you have.
You are loved by many (even if you don’t know it).
Over the years I have received much help from your knowledge, and it has greatly been appreciated.
The Newsletter can wait until you are ready to resume.
Mending is MORE important….💓🌹🌷
Please just rest and recover! We will be here waiting patiently. Well actually, at my age I do a lot of waiting and the “patiently” part is just tagging along.
Good for you. Glad your starting to feel better, but not wholly, you didn’t pick on Darcy. Hee hee. We are thinking and praying for you.
Your recovery is THE most important thing. Do not worry about “when” you can get back to work. We will all just be glad to know that you are doing better and are through this big bump in the road that you are dealing with. We all have them and we do understand. Many prayers and good wishes are coming your way. Take Care.
Get well soon. We hope to have you back in the saddle as soon as possible. That being said, make sure you take time for yourself. 🙏
TC, I’m praying for you, too. I pray that you have Miracles of healing. (Chase)
Thank you. Loads of love. Miracles. Many blessings and a speedy recovery.
Please take the time you need to feel better. We will all be waiting here for you whenever you feel comfortable enough to return.
Put yourself first now, please. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Take Care

TC, thinking of you, get well soon we miss you mate. i am sure all your supporters in Australia wish you the best as well.
Please take your time as you resume your schedule. You (and Darcy) deserve a break, even if it’s just a week to kick back and relax. You will be in my prayers. 🙏
wishing you a speedy recovery
Prayers and many blessings as you struggle with your illness. At 87 I can understand your frustration. You will get better. Just keep things simple and use this time to catch up and enjoy simple pleasures. Darcy I’m sure will be right on it. Lol!
May you recover fully and quickly, TC. I love that you still have us all in mind even in the midst of all you’re going through; however — first and foremost- -give yourself the time you need to properly heal!
Your approach to your recovery and sharing it with us is an inspiration others experiencing similar circumstances. It truly does “take a village” to manage serious health issues. Get well soon.
What a blessing to hear from you and know you are on the path of recovery. You can not imagine how much your daily emails are missed. We take so many things for granted and then something happens to make us aware of what is important. Keeping you in our prayers for your recovery !
I’m so glad to hear you’re still in the fight! It sounds like you have the right attitude and you’ll be back up and running again soon. You’re an inspiration! We will keep sending our prayers, just know that you are being thought of and just worry about recovering. Everything else can wait.
Dear TC, Your most important job right now is to get back into shape and at 100%. I’m using this time to add to the list of things I want you to do when I get around to scheduling an appointment. Boy oh boy, are you going to be sorry! Seriously, I’m happy to hear you are on the path to recovery and send you, Darcy and both your families my prayers and best wishes. I’m sure Darcy will be happier than we will be when you’re back.
Maybe TC should now stand for “Tough Critter”.
We all are wishing he very best for you.
All we want is for you to get well soon. Don’t rush the healing process. Prayers for a speedy and safe recovery.
You are in my prayers. Hope you are doing better.
Praying for you, TC, You’ve been missed
TC,
Happy to hear you are on the mend.

Wishing the very best for you .Hoping your recovery goes well and speedy.Look after yourself and will look forward to your return.
You are so very important to all of us CloudEight subscribers. Don’t hurry….your health is too important! Continued prayers for all to go well.
You keep getting yourself well take your time we will be by your side praying that you recover fast and are soon able to do things don’t rush it take it slow.
In 2021 I got news that I had cancer in my colon had the operation recovered and was doing well then in 2024 I was told I had lung cancer had to have the top lob of my right lung removed. I recovered from that and am doing good, so put all into Gods hands and let him heal you.
Best wishes for you TC.
Sorry to hear about your illness, you will be back on your feet sooner than you think. You have a lot of support from your readers and when the going gets tough, the tough get going..! All the very best to you!
As the saying goes “Time and Tide wait for no one” but frequently the tide turns and heads out to sea again. At 89 I have experience of this. All that we can hope for is that we leave behind a legacy that family, friends and neighbours will recognise this and your deeds, help and advice will last far beyond the present day and there will somewhere that records and loved memories these events.. You indeed have fulled a lifetime and a legacy that is unequalled and of course not finished. The internet is a permanent record of you and your thoughts and help. keep going as long as you can but pace yourself so we continue to have your thoughts, experience and advice as long as possible. “love” is a much banded term but we all love you.
My Prayers and good thoughts are with you TC. Allow yourself to do whatever it takes to heal and recover. God has a plan for you. Thank you for so very many years of help. Remember, you are not alone. You have many friends praying,and thinking of you and loving you!
Hello TC. Just a few things to think on, Pray, believe and trust that God will get you through this episode of your life and don’t be afraid to ask for help.. God be with you.-
Dearest TC and Darcy,
I can’t thank you enough for all the help and pleasure you’ve given me. I was blessed to discover you at the end of 1999, when I purchased my first desktop computer with Windows XP. It was a wonderful system and, with all your help and the wonderful programs and stationery you created and provided, my life was changed forever. I’ll soon be 90 and, like so many others, I still depend on you. Perhaps you’d like to put together a hard-cover book of instructions, combined with your wonderful sense of humor, for sale everywhere. I’ve personally kept everything! Please take it easy and then just do what you most enjoy!! My VERY BEST WISHES ALWAYS, Lois
I hope all goes well for you TC. As much as we (Hundreds/Thousands) miss you every one of us are sending healing thoughts. Take time to recover. From Australia I send well wishes.

T.C. good luck with your recovery and the only way to go now is up. Go forth and conquer, as you have been doing, for so many over the years and with good luck for so many more, long may your reign for many more. With love and warm hugs to help you on your way. M from N.Z.
Thank you again for the progress of your health issue update.
My gosh, there you are sick and worrying about all of us; you sure are dedicated to us, but we understand, and are patiently waiting for your return. Just thinking of you sick laying in a hospital bed and still having all your Cloudeight family members on your mind makes me feel and I am sure most all of us feel “SPECIAL” that you care about us.
God Bless and we appreciate all the help and tips you both have provided for many years. Take a break and think for once of yourself, and get better so we can have you back and on the top of your game again. You have many prayers from all of us.
Please feel better. You and Darcy are the ones thousands of us trust when it comes to simple PC issues. Ypu are in my prayers.
AZJudy
Thank you for the health update. #1 is, take care of yourself and don’t try to do too much too soon. #2, we all do love you and you’re in my prayers as you are in many others.
Barbara
I’d like to echo what many here have already said; take care of you first! You obviously know the saying, if you do what you love you’ll never work a day in your life. Well, if you push yourself too hard, too soon, this will become work and you won’t love it anymore. Take your time coming back. We’ll still be here when you do 🙂
Thought and prayers on your healing process. You are loved and missed around here! Follow doctors orders and we will all chat again soon!
