On Wednesday, October 11, 2006, my maternal step-grandpa unexpectedly passed away while in the hospital for a chest cavity infection. It was a peaceful death, and it was time for him to go home; he had been through a lot. Please keep my grandpa’s soul and his family (especially my grandma) in your prayers.

(P.S. This is one of the reasons I haven’t been posting recently. So no, in case you’re wondering, this blog isn’t going to be another victim of “blog burnout,” if I can help it ;-); there have just been a lot of things going on around here lately. Thanks for staying subscribed! I hope to get back into routine posting soon.)
