I am sorry for the silence over the last week.  My father in law continues to be in hospital and much time is still spent visiting and keeping his spirits up.  My sister in law, who has been seriously ill for some time, has declined rapidly over the last month or so, went into a hospice on Thursday and died on Saturday.

I don't intend to blog about it any more than this and don't really have a lot else in my head just now but I just wanted to explain my silence and my absence.  I will be back in a week or so I expect.

  15. A terrible, heart-breaking time. No wonder you don't want to write. There will come a moment, no doubt, when you will write and write to ease the pain. Best wishes and will be thinking of you daily.

  22. Very sorry to hear of all your ills. I suppose we all have periods in our lives where nothing seems to go right. You will pull through, and, as bizarre as it may seem now, you'll probably be stronger for the experience.
