| Excuse my absence. I would would like to let everyone know that I will be away here for the next couple of days. I got some bad news Thursday evening. My dad passed away early Friday morning the 23rd. I kinda came as a shock to us all, but we are making it one day at a time. Things were getting better as of yesterday afternoon after we laid him to rest, only to find out this morning, that my grandmother(his mother) had passed away as well. This has been one of the worst Thanksgivings that I have ever had in my life but there is a reason for everything. I would greatly appreciate it if you would keep my family in your thoughts and prayers through this most difficult of times. Just thought that I would fill everyone in. We are planning on taking a vacation this weekend to the Smoky Mountains to try and get away from it all. I was off work starting the 22nd, and wasn't scheduled to go back to work until today. It feels like I didn't have the first day off so hopefully the vacation will cure that. Take care everyone and I'll be back sometime next week. |
