So its been a while since I blogged :-(. Have some new products to talk about soon. I just have not had the heart to blog much lately. My life has been pretty rough as of late.
On March 2nd of this year our community was hit by a tornado. It hit my mom & dads home (their were 15 of us jammed into a hallway about 4 ft wide & 6ft long), 2 of my uncles homes & a cousin, (all 3 homes next to my parents' home), & an aunt & uncles home a few miles east of my parents home. They unfortunately lost their lives to the unmatched chaos. My parents home thankfully only had some damage but still livable. My 2 uncles & my cousin lost everything they had but by the grace of God we kept our lives.
Before we could even begin to recoup, my moms year long battle against small cell lung cancer took a turn for the worse as my dads health did too. Its a situation that still brings pain to my heart, tears to my eyes, & a sense of love knowing that our family was there for one another like we were.
My parents are such an important part of me as a whole & they mean more to me than I can express.
At the end of March both my parents were hospitalized. A few days later, exactly one month after the tornado, my mom lost her battle with cancer. Goodness to write those words still tears at my heart. I'm not quite ready to talk in depth about my sorrow or my grieving process. I will leave it at this: my heart is a thousand pieces & I've yet to figure out how to put even a couple back together.
So this is a portion of what's kept me from my take on this & that. I'm working back into it & hope to have several new posts soon.
:-)
This is a medley of my thoughts, opinions, experiences with everyday life as well as product testing. I'll give reviews, news tidbits, recipes, craft ideas, thoughts for the day and try to share deals I find.
