Generally the expression "family emergency" has no good overtones. I've had to say it a few times and those were rough days. I don't use twitter and just wanted to start this thread to wish Jeff and family well over the coming days.

Same here. Giant Bomb has helped me through rough times, and I hope for the best for Jeff and his family.

Indeed. Best of luck in troubled times.

I hope it's nothing serious. I wish him and his family well.

I just read his tweets. That's heartbreaking. I hope, whatever it is, that Jeff can come through it.

I wish him the best and he has my full support.

Same here. I hope whatever it is turns out as well as it can.

I've had pretty awful family emergencies, it's literally the worst of times. Best of luck with everything, hope things turn out well.

Totally agree with everyone here. The community has got his back!

Keep on truckin'.

Praying and hoping everything is OK. Love the GB crew so hope nothing terrible has happened.

Hope everything is ok Jeff. You got our support!

Best wishes Jeff.

Best wishes, Jeff!

Sincerely hope everything turns out well, Jeff. Am also doubly glad that he made the decision to disclose it, as I feel like that's a positive development in terms of keeping in touch with, and keeping informed, the community you've created. We're all hoping for the best.

Hope all is well Jeff. All the best.

I LOVE YOU JEFF

Jeff is an important piece of this site and all my sympathies go out to my fellow duder.

Best wishes Jeff, hope everything turns out okay

Hope everything works out for the better as soon as possible, so you can get past it and come back here being awesome ;D

As everyone above has said, best wishes Jeff, hope it's not too bad and the whole GB community's behind you.

I hope it's nothing serious Jeff, come back when you are ready.

We love ya, Jeff.

My thoughts are with you Jeff.

Hope it's not serious. Hang in there dude.

Hope whatever the problem the is I hope it works at well. Best of luck Jeff.

Hopefully it turns out OK. Don't worry about the site, come back when you are ready. Best wishes duder.

Your family is in our thoughts and prayers.

My thoughts go out to you and yours, Jeff! Hope everything works out okay!

It goes without saying that every Duder and Giant Bomber in this community consider the people who we let in our homes through our computers, Jeff, Ryan, Brad, Vinny, etc., as a part of our family. Some of us have been here since the beginning, knowing this website was something special. While others have joined after seeing the passion and dedication that the Whiskey family has always put into giving us entertainment and a place to go to when we need to unwind and laugh a little.

From our family to yours Jeff, we love you and we got your back through thick and thin. Hope all goes well.

Threads like these make me so happy to be a part of this community.

Best of luck, Jeff!

Hope it's not too serious and everything works out for the best.

I feel like it's inappropriate to make a thread like this if you have no idea what the emergency is. 

Hang in there Jeff.

Not a great time for me either right now, not gonna spurt out the same clichés I've been getting for the last few days 'cause I know they mean nothing from the wrong people. All I'll say is take as long as is needed Jeff, the internet will still be here when you return.

Sort of this but he wouldn't have posted it on Twitter if he didn't think we should know.

Wishing him well. I hope it's nothing serious.

Hope it all goes well Jeff. Best wishes.

@H2Oyea: While that may be the case, the staff of Giant Bomb and the Whiskey Media family have become close to its users and its users to each other. We see insights to their lives outside of what they write in their editorials or through reviewing games and grow familiar with them even if we do not know them 'in real life'. For this reason it would only I think that it would only be polite to offer any support or well wishes that we can give in any emergency to just about anybody on Giant Bomb.

All the best, duder. Our thoughts are with you.
