New Firsts

In the midst of all this grief, we are struck again. The King of Typos was laid off last Friday. I have been unable to deal much with this since I'm so overwhelmed with Dad's death. He is looking for a job in Texas (or within a few hours of our parents). If you know of any mechanical design or graphic arts jobs....please let us know.

I also feel like we're all beginning with new firsts. This will be the first Sunday without dad, etc. Today was also my parents' 51st anniversary.

Thank you so much for the emails, the comments, the text messages and the hugs that have been sent my direction. I am awash in grace each time I read one of your messages or receive an email. Thank you again.

And yes, those are the first of many thank-you's that we owe.

From one Beth to another, you are in my thoughts. What a lot to deal with all at the same time. I hope the shadows fade soon and sun shines on you and yours soon.
