Pseudo-Sabbatical

I've made the decision to temporarily suspend posts here at Something She Wrote.

Today I got word that my grandmother is in the hospital with a potentially serious condition, and one of my uncles passed away this morning. All this follows closely on the heels of a hospital stay for someone of great importance in my life. Combined with everything mentioned in today's earlier post, I'm a bit overwhelmed.

I'm going to take a break from all things intrawebs. I've got to regroup and wrap my head around the things that have been happening. I'll miss our online connection and your feedback, and I'll miss reading your blog posts, too.

But I won't be gone indefinitely; just for a few days or so. I wish you all the best with your writing, and everything else, in the meantime. I'll be back soon.

And thanks for your support and prayers.
Janna

I just found out about uncle norman. He was a great guy and always nice to me and everyone in general. After tomorrow I am off five days so if the funeral is during that time I will be there. My thoughts are with your grandma J

Oh Janna, I'm so sorry. Please know we're here for you. Be with your family and appreciate what you have. The internet isn't going anywhere, and neither are we.

Sorry I'm late seeing this, (saw your posts on AW, though) and wanted to tell you again that you're in my thoughts and prayers.

I'll miss you while you're gone, but this is much more important. We'll be here when you're ready to come back.

*hugs*
