A Blogging Break

Natalie
White roses

My Dad passed away on Tuesday night after a short illness. I will be taking a blogging break to be with my family for a while. I hope to return to blogging on October 27th. If there is any change to this return date, I will provide an update on my blog.

Since I have already created a link for this week’s Weekend Coffee Share linkup #137, I posted it below for your participation. Unfortunately, I will not be available to read and comment on your blogs. Thank you for your understanding.

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

    I am so sorry. It is such a difficult blow to lose a parent, and the unexpected nature must really hit with an impact. I am thinking of you, and hope sharing mamories with freinds and family help you though this terrible time of grief. Take good care of yourself. It’s so hard.
