30 days.... in three weeks

before i begin: i just got word that BK's grandfather, RF, passed this afternoon, surrounded by his loving wife and 4 of his 5 daughters. please pray for BK's momma [whom i now call momma S] as she mourns the loss of both her eldest daughter and, now, her father.

RF was an amazing man, and he led an amazing family; raising 5 incredible women to believe in themselves and to accomplish anything they set their sweet minds to. those women, in turn, instilled those values into their own progeny. i have been blessed to be a part of such an amazing family unit.

BK's husband contintues to do well. he and i have become friends. who'da thunk it?

now... where was i?

30 days. yes. well, i leave in 2 weeks for vaca with the famdamily. i'm not even leaving my phone on. sorry, kids. it'll have to wait until i get back. but i'll give it a swing. it's not like i've got 30 days of anyone, er, thing else to do.

p.s. my cousin just moved into town. a fresh faced gradiate of notre dame [go irish]. expect great things.

all my love,
yors
