I really prefer to keep my personal life off FU, except for the fun/happy stuff or some of the silly things I do (and yeah, do a lot of those). I debated over sharing this, but since I simply adore some of you and consider you friends (not all of you freaks)! I figured I would go ahead...and only because if I act strange, I want you to know that it is not you....
I recently got some terrible news. My Dad has been diagnosed as being in the final stages of liver failure. It isn't good. Other than my brothers and my daughters, he is the only "blood" family I have left. It's tearing me apart inside. I am telling you this not because I want any sympathy or anything, you know me and I'm not like that. What I would like though is for you to know that if I seem distant, or start rambling for no reason...well, there is a reason. I'm trying hard to keep it together, but some days or even hours...it just hits me.
For right now, other than this post.. I really don't want to talk about it....I just can't. I am trying to wrap my head and heart around this and haven't gotten there yet....
If I am here, I am looking to escape reality for just a bit. A little distraction and some happy news.
So...let's have a drink or two, shall we?
Love,
JWH
