A Sad Time

The last few months have been very sad around here. My step-father had cancer and things took a definite turn for the worse.  He died, peacefully and at home on November 6, 2008. He was cremated exactly 28 years after my father died (who also died of cancer) and his funeral was exactly 28 years after my father's funeral. My mother, who has never lived alone in her almost 80 years, is having to make great adjustments. It is a very sad and lonely time for her, even though I am trying to be there for her as much as possible. So, I have not be blogging, or doing much of anything else recently.
