I’ve been a bit - quiet …
Sorry to have not posted very much lately. Often times when I drop onto other blogs and notice the writer has been away for a while, they say they’re sorry when they return. It’s nice to know a little about what is going on - when someone is quiet. I figured I’d let you know now …
My Mom is in very poor health. It is truly only a matter of time. We are spending all effort to keep my Dad going.
I’ll be back. Pop in now and again. You’ll soon see posts … thanks for being patient and understanding.

Oh, that is always soo difficult. Sending good thoughts your way.

Thanks, Ladies. It’s funny that the both of your comments arrive within 15 minutes of each other. Has anyone ever seen the both of you in the same room at the same time?
Hmmm, conspiracy or just coincidence …
(thanks for the kind words, Kath and Laurie - humor is often the way i deal with tough stuff)

All the best, Steve. Nothing in life is more difficult than the impending loss of a loved one. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Prayers will hold you up and get you through. Your dad needs you more than your mother right now. You need each other. The blog will still be here, family comes first.

Thanks Buck and Debbie. Thanks very much for all the prayers and thoughts from all of you. It means a great deal to me, and my Dad thanks you too.

Damsel and I are sending all our good karma your way, Steve. Keep strong and your folks will gain from that.

You and your family are in our prayers. Your Dad needs you now. That’s as it should be. {hugs}

Well Dyz, Cap’n and Damsel, and YankeeMom, thank you all for the kind words. Prayers and Karma help the rest of us get from day to day. There is always a positive to these life’s lessons - it’s a tough school, life.
Take care, and thanks again. Dad says thanks, too!

Hospice was respectful and helpful when my mother passed away two years ago.

Hon, you and your family are in my thoughts. I’ll keep you in my prayers. Come back when you’re ready.

I’m very sorry for your family. My dad died in December after a lengthy illness. There are lots of conflicting emotions in the end. My prayers are with you.

Prayers comin’ at ya from Phoenix, Steve. All the best.

I’m so sorry to hear about your hardships. We lost my father-in-law last year to lung cancer and it was a very sad, draining time. My heart, throughts and prayers are with you, bro.
Peace.
