I had to add a little tribute to my dad. He passed away February 9th. But this is also one reason I haven't been posting as much or writing as much. I'll soon be getting back on track with posting :)
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with your family. As cliche has this sounds, he is no longer in any pain and is in a better place.
