I have had one of the most difficult weeks in my life. This morning I lost my dear mom so I will be taking an indefinite time off from the site.
Mom is in a much better place, at peace, and finally reunited with my dad who she missed so much these many years.
Please keep our family in your prayers over the next few days.
God bless you all.
