It's a rainy Tuesday here in Lansdale Pennsylvania, and it sort of suits my mood. I have a cold, and chores ahead of me today that I'm just not that into. Ok I'm whining. I haven't blogged in a while, I sat here a couple times in the last weeks and the ideas forming in my little noggin seem to just slip away. It has not been a good period of time for me, and I must thank the bloggers of AR for helping to reel me back into the world I live in. Ok I'll cut to the chase, 2 weeks ago, my ex, the father of my 20 year old twin daughters lost a nasty fight with cancer. Jeff my fiancee and I had been put in the role of his caretakers when his decline become rapid and while they couldn't find a facility for atleast a few days, he could not be left at home alone. Jeff called his job and put in for personal days, I rescheduled etc. Jeff is in healthcare. I am certainly not. He lasted in official "hospice" care for only a week. I know he was proud of my starting my own business, my card was in a prominent place in his room. If anyone wondered why it was snowing April 1, I credit it to Sam, he loved snow, and he would have laughed at all of us going to his funeral in it. I don't really know why I'm writing this here. It may be just to get it out, and hopefully the blogs that have stalled in my brain will now pour out. I think I really need a bright sunny day and maybe a vacant home with wonderful bones to stage.
Elizabeth--so sorry to hear about your loss. It is always hard to watch someone we have cared about pass over. Great credit to you for writing this. I hope that you know and understand that so many of us at AR are reading this and have you in our thoughts. I am personally sending you a big dose of sunshine from Maui.
Elizabeth - my thoughts and prayers are with you. What a caring and loving gesture on Jeff's part to take personal days off of work to help.

P.S. So, that's why it snowed! Now we know.
Elizabeth, so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it must be. But what a great opportunity to be there for someone who was special in your life. And how great is it that Jeff was there along side you through it all. God bless!
Thank you all for your kind words. Even though we were no longer together to me, the bond of having children together will forever link us as family. Jeff is an exceptional man who I realize more everyday how lucky I am to have.
Elizabeth ~ I'm sorry for your loss. Going through such an emotional and difficult situation is never easy for anyone -- as they say, take it one day at a time. Things will be brighter soon, I'm sure. And yes, finding a good house to stage will help you use your creative side and also help you to move forward. Good luck :-)
Elizabeth...I am so very sorry for your loss, and with time you will be back out there doing the things that you love and you will know that you helped someone in their final days. I do admire you for that...
