My mom and Brooklyn, June 2006
Early December 1st, 2008, my Mother --Carole Holmes-- passed away. It was a blessing, a shock, and a VERY difficult way to start the month. I appreciate everything she and my Dad have done for us over the years, and she will be incredibly missed by many. It was a very hard two weeks that I spent in Utah. Part of the time with Jon (which helped immensly) and part with just my Dad after Jon had to return to NV for work. I hope my time in Utah helped in some way, and it was immensly hard to leave my Dad there alone. He isn't really alone, all my siblings but me and one sister live there, but it was still hard.
So, blogging has been on the back burner. I appreciate all the love and cards and flowers people have sent. Our little family feels very loved during this hard time. Please forgive my absence, and watch for some (more) catch up posts to come soon!
