Alix here again

I know I have been AWOL for a long time. My life filled the plate and then flowed over in spades. My computer committed suicide plus my father started failing--several trips to Alabama--and the flares to go with it.

My father--as Squirrely told you--passed away very quietly May 22. Somehow it seems that the sun is not as bright and the earth is spinning slower in space. He was almost 87--had served in the Army-WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the Cuban Missile Crisis (was on one of the blockading ships) and well--he was my hero--He died of complications resulting from cancer caused by Agent Orange. He will be buried at Arlington with full military honors in August.

Physically I am not so good--flarey as I went to Alabama this time with just so much meds and overstayed--so I am doubled up on Pred. and trying to get back on schedule and get this flare under control--plus do all that is needed at such times--

I can use all the crying towels I can get as the tears seem to erupt at random moments and triggered by seemingly innocuous things like passing the cereal in the he store and remembering what he always ate for breakfast.

Thank you for all you love and support.

Pax,

Alix

This is the day that the Lord has made.
Let us rejoice and be glad!!
