Blogging Break




My baby sister's husband has passed away, after a long & difficult battle with liver cancer.

I'm going to take a break from blogging for awhile to deal with the sadness & grief. I just don't feel very upbeat & talkative right now.

My two brothers & three other sisters all feel so devastated for her loss & want to be there for her in any way we can, since they never had any children.
If you're so inclined, would you mind sending up a *knee-mail* for my little sister...Thanks!
