Hello, friends. A quick note today to explain my unexpected absence and to let you know I may continue to be MIA for much of the next week or more. My family and I have suffered the tragic and sudden loss of one of our own and are currently grappling to come to terms with the depths of grief we are experiencing. He was 21 years old and had the kind of smile that could light up a room – he will be forever missed and his absence forever felt. It’s hard to explain in words just how close my extended family is and likewise it’s impossible to explain how his loss has shocked us all. Hopefully in the next few days this dark cloud hanging over us will start to lift and hopefully I’ll be back sooner rather than later. In the meantime, I’m going to be spending the next several days with the people who mean the most to me and without whom I’d be lost.
To those of you who caught wind that something was amiss – thank you for your love, your support and your prayers. It has meant the world to me and to my family and I cannot thank you enough.

Hi Cyd,
I just recently discovered your blog and was saddened to read Saturday’s post. I am so sorry for your loss and hope you can get through this difficult time. Hang in there. xo
So sorry for your loss – thinking of you and your family…
I’m so sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you and your family at this time.
Oh I am *so* sorry. I can only say that 2 years ago we had a loss in our family. My nephew, my sister’s baby, passed 2 days before his 18th birthday. Even now, 2 years later, it’s hard on all of us, each holiday, each family gathering, random days…it will hit me like a brick. My thoughts and prayers or with you and I can only pray for peace.
