In Mourning

Jan 19, 2014 | Rita

This week will be slow for me across the blogs because we are currently in mourning here in my home. My uncle died last night and my grandpa died this morning. My grandpa had been sick the last couple of days and things were heading downhill for him fast. However my uncle was a shock. He visited my grandpa in the hospital and then went home last night and died. It was unexpected and we are still coming to terms.

We will be  attending two funerals in a short amount of time and since they are both going to be at Ft. Benning I will be having company so things are just going to be crazy. It is funny (ironic not ha ha) that all of this happened right now.  I was thinking about taking a day or two to reorganize myself and come back better equipped. I have been considering and will be implementing posting one certain blogs, certain days of the week. Just to keep the work flow manageable along with some other things. So I will be taking the time to plan (roughly) how that will be working as well.

There will be posts this week at different time because there was some already scheduled to go live so please checking in. However all giveaways will be closed out on Monday January 27, 2014 and in the event you email me it may take me a day or so to respond. I will be checking in from time to time. So please bear with me as I get through this week.

    Oh Rita, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how difficult it can be when you loose someone so unexpectedly. But to have two losses back to back is even harder. I hope you take the time to care for yourself and your family. Don’t worry about us, we will be here. I hope your faith gives you strength during this difficult time. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
