Fortyhboobs's blog post - I'm ready to come back

It’s been four weeks since she died, doesn’t seem that long but it is. We had a memorial service and reception for her the weekend before last. It went beautifully and I think it gave my siblings and me a needed sense of closure. I'm still not done grieving, but then I don't think that stops for a very long time, does it?

Anyway, between the grieving and the preparations for the memorial and being sick for a week, I didn’t feel like getting back into NN. But I do now. I know it means having to start answering the 70+ messages I’ve accumulated in my inbox, but that’s okay. I’ve missed my friends here and want to come back. I may never hang around as much as I used to before Christmas but I will still be a part of things, and I’ll try not to be gone so long again.

For all of you who wrote me the past several weeks and never received a response – I’m very sorry. I read your messages and appreciated each and every one of them. Please be patient with me as I slowly but surely catch up.

Someone wrote asking if I still had my website. Yes, of course I do. And I had to keep up with it in spite of what happened Christmas night, but actually that was good since it kept my mind off other things. I just posted a couple of pics here tonight that are from my site, one has already been posted and the other is a future update.

It’s good to be “home.”
