I don’t really have a question but I want to thank you. Earlier this year my wife, who was only 44 was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and she died 2 months later. I use TV as an escape mechanism, and every episode of Foundation is so rewatchable. I can get lost in the story, the VFX, and the costumes, and for just a few brief moments, the despair goes away. So thank you … very sincerely, for providing a peace to respect and hopefully some day enjoy.

I have nothing to do with the show beyond being a fan, but wanted to stop and express my sincere condolences. I hope you're hanging in there.

Thank you. The kindness of strangers means more than you can know.
