Hiya! Sorry I have been missing in action for at least one week. A very close friend passed away just over two weeks ago, and just as I was still grieving over his passing, my uncle, who is my closest relative, took a turn for the worst with his cancer so I had to leave town asap to see him before he passes. Fortunately, he was coherent and could move around, so we spent the day at the zoo(his favorite place) and drank beer later while talking about my visit to Germany(he was stationed there while in the service, but I can't quite recall where) before ending the day with a long hug. The next day, as my family and I were headed back home, he went downhill and will not make it to next week
. As if things could not get worse, another crisis happened the day I got home. Yeah, its been a rough two weeks and I've been terribly depressed but now I'm well enough to be back here on the GOF. I hope I did not worry anyone in regards to my absence. I'm glad to be back here
.
