My apologies to readers who have visited my Blog over the last week expecting to find new posts—I have not found the time (or more accurately, the desire) to write as I was dealing with an intense personal loss…that of my Father, plus the added sadness and stress of my mother’s health failing—now that her husband has passed.

Even though she has Alzheimer’s, I think deep down my Mom must know her husband is dead because she has given up on life (she is ‘closed off’ and no longer eating). And yet, she told me he visits her every day.

And I received no usual smile from her.

This is a sad time for my family and I, and I appreciate your continued words of encouragement and love.

Thank you!
