Recently, my beloved husband, Ted suffered a heart attack. Thankfully, due to the heroic efforts of an excellent ER staff he is still with us. Our family and friends have rallied around and are helping with supermarket runs and a dozen of other little things that need to continue despite such an upset in our lives.
This event came as a complete shock to both of us and we are still picking up the pieces. That having been said, my presence on the boards will be greatly reduced. I probably won’t even be in lurker mode. Working with my fellow writers for the past eight years who have a deep love for the characters of this series has been a joy. Erin Klingler told me that the people in this fandom are nice and incredibly helpful. Her gentle words have proven to be very true.
Now my focus is on helping my spouse navigate getting better. He was already walking four miles a day, before this happened, but now he has to restructure exercise, diet and workstyle.
So, for the time being I am stepping back and taking a breath. It is so neat that old-timers have returned to the msbs with comments and new stories. Hopefully I will be back before too long, this has always been a happy place to go when RL gets a little wearisome.
Take care FoLC’s!
