Away

Dearest Readers:

I shall be away for a few days regarding some family issues. This may occur, for a time, for the next few weeks, dependent. It turns out the mother of my new wife has a very severe and pernicious form of cancer which has gone systemic, in which it is not anticipated she will sustain life for more than a few weeks to a month or so. No one knows. The possibility exists that she will soon be in much pain, highly medicated and, as such, not cogent. We wish to see her, help her, perhaps try to take her out for some drives, make amends, console her, and prepare all. This is a very difficult time for my wife and her entire family -- and, disappointingly (adding to her stress), her job is not doing its best to be understanding and accommodating.

If you have a prayer to spare, please send it to Mama Lucy and her family. God bless you all.

BZ

P.S.
I will publish some posts, in advance, that I have created in reserve for such an occasion. Please continue to visit and ensure that you never fail to tell those you love how you feel about them.

    My prayers are definitely with her and her loved ones, BZ, and especially your wife. I lost a mother and a step-mother to cancer, so I have a pretty good indication as to how scary this must be for her.

    God bless!

    Oh my. I am so sorry for you and your wife. But at least she was there for your wedding. It's a good memory you will always have.

    With you BZ, a little late, but very sincere. Done some of that asking for prayers recently myself.
