Update

Hi y'all, and thank you so much, every one of you, for every comment, e-mail, just all the kindness y'all have extended. My dad passed away late last night with my mother and I at his side. This happened very quickly, y'all know, so my head is a bit fuzzy and my heart is pretty damn sore.

But, I've read every comment and e-mail, and y'all have helped more than y'all know. My mother, sister, and I, along with my kiddos, all thank you.

I will get the blog back on schedule next week, probably Tues...
