Please forgive the gap

I apologize for the gap in time since my last post. There has been a death in my family which I am deeply mourning, so I have fallen behind with many things unrelated to that death, or to my absolutely necessary work and life obligations. I am writing now to let readers know why I haven't posted for about three weeks. I also want to say that one thing that has provided me comfort, besides the wonderfully kind support and love from family members and friends, is -- as always -- reading, especially novels. In particular, I have been re-reading all of Barbara Pym's novels (for at least the third time) and find them immensely comforting. I'll be back posting soon.

  1. Stephanie, take all the time you need. My condolences to you and your family. I look forward to reading your posts, and have also enjoyed Barbara Pym's novels, as recommended by you. "I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love." ~ Leo Buscaglia
