I had to think long and hard of whether I would share this news.
It’s a private moment and I wasn’t sure it was something I
wanted to share here. But, I wanted you to know why I would
be away for a few days.
As many of you may know, my sister and I have been
caring for our elderly father full-time for the past year a
half. This past Friday morning, in the early morning
hours, he passed away. We were all there – his children,
my son and my grandchildren, holding him and telling
him how much we loved him – and that it was time to let
go and be with God. My hurt has never hurt so much, and
I have never known this amount of sorrow. My Daddy is gone.
So I will take some time off to mourn and heal and help
my Mama, as well. But, I will be back soon. ‘Cause
Daddy was so proud of this blog of mine and asked each
nite “how much money did you make today on your blog?”
Thank you for letting me share my sorrows with you.
xxoo, Barb

It is very painful to let a parent go. I understand your feeling when you wrote you had never known such pain. I felt exactly the same way when my mother passed away. My heart was broken into a million pieces and I didn’t know if I would survive. Please take time to grieve! Your blog will be here when you can come back. My heart and prayers go out to you! Hugs!
