My New Happy: Why I've Been Gone

Why I've Been Gone


I've been missing from my blog because of some very sad news.  A few weeks ago, my dad passed away unexpectedly.  The first week we were all in shock, and now I'm just deeply sad.

 Taking care of my mom and dealing with details has kept me busy.  I plan to get back to regular blogging next week, because it will be a good distraction, and it makes me happy.

 During this week of Thanksgiving, I wanted to let you know how thankful I am for all of you, and for the supportive community of friends I've found in the blogging world.  I hope that everyone has a blessed week.

    Hope with this new week, you find yourself feeling lifted up by the prayers and love of your friends and family and those wonderful memories of your father. Love the quote from The Little Prince. Keep looking up to your father, and your Father. They are there for you.

    Lana, I'm so sorry to hear about your Dad. I understand. I, too said good-bye to my Dad this year. Maybe the two of them are together somewhere, talking about their blonde or formerly blonde) blue-eyed daughters. Thinking of you, my friend.
