I had no intention of taking a month off the blog. I am sorry about that. Some of my last posts said our grandfather was diagnosed with cancer and was going to start treatment for it. Well, sometimes these things just don’t end well despite all the hopes and good thoughts coming from their family and friends. David, Daddy Dave to all his grandchildren, passed away in the hospital, his body was just too weak to fight everything going on inside it. It all seemed to happen very quickly.

His death hit me a lot harder than I thought it would, I thought I was pretty much ready to accept whatever happened. Even now it doesn’t always feel real. Everyone in the family will agree that the best thing we can do now is try to show as many people as we can why he was so special. It has meant the world to me how much Samantha’s family included me these last weeks.

One thing I do know is that DaDave wouldn’t want me to stay away from my writing or from my blog either. If anything he would keep urging me on like he always did, hoping I would strive for more. So I will not let my grief control me, because that is what I think he would want. Anyone still with me here, thanks for sticking around, I really do appreciate it. And in many ways it does feel good to be back.
