... What is RSS?These past couple of months have been really bad. As most of you know Mom died on December 13. Pop followed last night, exactly 13 weeks to the day.
I have no idea when I will be able to post anything of any use.
I will have the Carnival on Friday, the participants do most of the work anyway, and I thank them for that.
Liz, I will still do the spreadsheet for SOBCon, I think busy work will be good for me.
Hopefully, I should be back either at the end of this week or the beginning of next.

A virtual hug

Oh Joe.
So often, spouses follow each other quickly. Not sure if that’s any consolation, though.
I don’t want to bother you now, but feel free to give me a call if there’s anything I can do.
For now, a cyberhug
Hey GP.
Thanks, he was going down hill since Mom died, I think he just lost the will to live.
Joe
Hey Rick,
Thanks, I appreciate your being here. You know I mean that too.
Joe
My thoughts and prayers go with you too, Joe.
Hey Easton,
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers, we appreciate them muchly.
Joe
Thanks Carolyn,
You are doing more for me now than you could imagine. I do appreciate your guest writing a post for me tomorrow, friends like you are hard to find.
Thanks again,
Joe
Also, my prayers go with you too.
Joe, even though I’m overwhelmed (but happy and eager) about guest writing, I do understand what it means to have friends to help right now. You’re a special guy, Joe. As I said before, whatever I can do to help.
P.S. If you like tomorrow’s post, I wrote it. If not, it was probably someone else
I’m so sorry to hear it Joe – I’ll be happy to post something for ya on Tuesday.
Big huge hugs to you and your family…
Hi Joe. I was just stopping by on my way to submit an entry for the upcoming carnival. My condolences go out to you. My wife’s dad passed last fall, and I had a chance to post some articles on the grieving process and the balance between the need to allow time for the grief – and the healing – and the need to return to regular life. Perhaps there might be something helpful there for you.
I’ll go ahead and submit the entry to the carnival and hopefully it will make your life easier.
Sorry to hear about your parents, Joe.
I’ts amazing the virtual friends you have Joe… we’re here .. carolyn, thanx too

Hey Edward,
I really appreciate your contributions and your good wishes. And I will stop by your site, I can use all the inspiration and healing I can get right about now.

Hey Gleb,
As more than one person told me the past couple of days, it’s hard to lose your parents at ANY age.
So close isn’t too good either.
Thanks for your kind words (sounds redundant, but heartfelt).
Joe
Hey GP,
Something I found out today… Virtual friends can very easily become Real 3-D friends when you need them, even without ever meeting them in person.
Thanks for your help and support throughout this whole thing.
Joe
Joe, my condolences to you and your family. You obviously loved your parents very much. We’ll be with you in spirit and prayers through this time.
Joe… my condolences… let me know if there’s anything I can do for you.
Hi Joe,
Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers. I’m sorry to hear about your Pop – and your Mom. It has been difficult for you lately.
Remember the good times and take care of yourself!

Joe,
My condolences on your loss mate. It’s hard to lose a parent, when you’re young you think that they will always be there. As we grow we try and hold on to that thought for the alternative is too painful to think about.
Take care and take your time.
Hey Robert,Lyman,Sandy and Ripley,
Thanks to you all for your kindness and prayers. My family can’t believe how many Good Friends I have made online.
We ALL say Thanks.
Joe, my deepest condolences on your loss. All the best and God bless.
Joe, just met you on Liz’ open mic, but I want to extend my condolences. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Hey Terry,
Thanks, Don’t know what else to say.
Joe
Hey Nneka,
New friends soon become old friends when they go out of their way like you did.
Thanks,
Joe
Joe,
I am sorry about the loss of your parents. I will be praying for you and your family for comfort and peace.
Best regards,

Hey Tariq,
Thanks, I appreciate your kind words and prayers.

Gosh, Joe, I’m so sorry to hear of your loss, and you are certainly in my thoughts tonight….
Hey Shiela,
Thanks, it was kinda expected, but you can never really prepare for something like this.
Joe
