Ben,
I don't know you, I haven't bought anything from you. All I know is, that there are people in this world who are here for a reason, and you, my friend, are one of them. You believed enough in a product, and believed you could make a difference with it, that you made it your livelihood. That says a lot about the family that raised you. The least of which, is your father. I'm sure he's proud of you, and he should be.
I wish you and your family, the strength, compassion, understanding, and resilience to overcome this and flourish. Keep fighting the good fight!
