A Brief Check-in

Hello friends,

I'm checking in here briefly to say I've not fallen off the face of the earth, although I have been mostly quiet since my last post announcing the passing of my mother. 

We will be attending her funeral this weekend and sometime after that I plan to be back in my usual weekly (or so) blogging habit. All is well; this is just a good time to be quiet, reflective, and still grateful that my mother's suffering has come to an end and to know she is in a wonderful place with our Lord and the loved ones who have gone on before us.

I do want to express my sincere, grateful thanks to all of you who have commented here on my blog, on my Facebook page, via snail mail, text messages, and through emails. We appreciate the thoughtful words and care you have shown to us.

Until next time, grace and peace.
