    Hi All,

    I posted this on Facebook for my family, so I won't have to make phone calls every day. Just wanted you to know that I will be away from the website for a few days - maybe a week - to deal with my father's issues. He is currently in the hospital with congestive heart failure. Hoping to stabilize him enough so he can be moved to a NH. Between Day Care, my cousin, and help from the AL next door, I have coverage for Sid while I am at the hospital.

    My father is almost 95 years old, so our main goal is to make him comfortable and let nature take its course.

    One less place setting needed at your table now.
    The burden of care was replaced by a burden of grief.

    I am glad you were able to be in attendence for the final curtain as you were all the prior acts.
    May your life's demands continue to ease in the months ahead. You deserve some rest.
