Thanks so much for everyone’s condolences; I can’t tell you how much I appreciate them.  It’s great to have each of your support.   You’ve definitely made the process of accepting the situation and moving on easier.

The radio silence is now over — :).  It’s good to be back!

Sorry for the upcoming radio silence on the blog just when I’ve started this 30 Day of Craft series.  I just learned from my mother that my cousin’s husband who had a heart-attack and stroke last week died today at 4:00 am.  She didn’t want to upset me at work so she waited until I got home tonight to let me know.

I’m at a loss for words.  Although death is a part of life, I was so sure he would recover. It certainly seemed like that on Saturday.   This is a lot for me to take in with everyone being 6000 miles away from me.  So many things left unsaid, so much left undone.

So until I get my bearings … be well.  I’ll hopefully see you all in a few days (best case scenario) or a in a week or two (worse case).

Goodbye Russell.  Rest in peace.
