June 17 Hi all - it's back to writing my blog once more Why does it feel as if all my latest blog posts start with an apology? I suddenly realised that I haven't blogged for ages, and since I have only managed one blog since March, I think it's now time to tell you why. Unfortunately my mother in law was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer back in February this year, and after an unbelievably short illness she sadly passed away on 4th June. As you can imagine, my partner and I were there as much as we could be, and as we realised the last stages of the illness were upon us in late May, we were there practically every day with the rest of the family. Work has taken a back seat for the last couple of weeks, and although I am getting back to something resembling normality now, we are still adjusting to life without her. So that's why I've not been around. I'm planning on writing a Squidoo lens with proceeds going to cancer research at some point; I did one on ovarian cancer in memory of my mum, so it seems right that I should do the same here too. And I will do another for my dad, who passed from bowel cancer several years ago. It's just too soon to tackle it yet. So rest assured I will be back - I haven't gone away and I have found my writing something of a comfort as we try and get through each day. See you soon.
