Rest in Peace

It's been another week since I've posted. You guys must be getting sick of me. I guess I should wish you all a very belated Merry Christmas. I wish that this year I could have filled this space with the happy greetings and delighted posts that I was able to last year around this time. This year, however, was much different...

Three days before Christmas I received a call from my mother at 8:00 in the morning before work. She was crying, but she managed to tell me that a close friend from back home had died suddenly. Mike Blanchette was a dear friend whom I have known since the fifth grade. He was close to many of us, and he will be missed more than words can say.

So needless to say, this Christmas was the worst in my life. I wish that I had better things to pass on to you all. Please keep Mike's family and girlfriend in your prayers. It will not be easy to move on without him.

Still working through my list so I'm a little late to say Merry Christmas. Or is it happy holidays? Well at least I'm early to wish you a happy new year!

I'm really sorry.

You know, the English language is incredibly rich, but at time, seemingly useless.

There should be more words for "sorry."

Thanks so much, guys. Your support means a lot to me. And I know what you mean when you say "sorry" even though our language doesn't allow for much. You guys are the best. Thanks a bunch.

Words can't convey what we'd all like to say.. it doesn't fix it and I'm sure it still hurts. Very sorry my dear.. that sort of loss is something I've already gone thru my fair share.. it's an unexplainable pain and hurts in ways you hardly understand. I hope you are finding your way to getting thru it. Sending you hugs!
