Dear Ones,
Taking just moment this Saturday morning to update you on my sudden disappearance from the blog and the blogging world. As I mentioned in the last post I wrote for my “31 Days of Children’s Books”, my mom was having some health issues. On Tuesday night, 10/25, she took a turn for the worse, prompting my brother Kevin to call us early Wednesday morning. Mom had been taken to the hospital and has been there since. We aren’t exactly sure what is going on. She has some physical, mental and emotional problems for which we are seeking help.
This photo was taken almost exactly a year ago. I am looking forward to having Mom home from the hospital and seeing her bright smile return. My sister Valerie came up to Kentucky with me. We hope to give my brother Kevin some support as we move forward in getting Mom the help she needs.
I don’t have much time or energy for blogging right now but hope to get back on track soon. I wonder if on some days I am just talking to myself here anyway. Perhaps this is an indication that the blogging world can certainly do without my blog among the million others out there.
If you are reading this, dear friends, I appreciate YOUR sharing time with me here. Would ask that you think a good thought for my mama. And then hug your loved ones a little extra today.
Hugs and kisses,
Leslie, I hope your mom will be okay. Sending hugs and prayers for you all…xoxo
Thank you, love. I am home now and my mom seems better. Hope it lasts. XOXO
Oh, Leslie! I’m so sorry to hear that your mom isn’t doing well, and I’m SO thankful you are there with her. Focus on her and decide about your blog later. We’ll wait for you! I’m praying for you and your mom right now.
Thank you for your loving words and prayers. XOXO
