It has been quite too long since I last wrote. Gosh but I was quite thankful during New Year’s day that I rang it clear and true that I was very thankful of my blessings. I still am thankful, and I still feel quite blessed.
However, the reason why I was unable to make any posts over the past few days is because something happened around 8 days after I made the past post.
See, I said that I did get my Christmas wishes of having good health and wellness over Christmas. It was still true even until New Year. Unfortunately, my good father-in-law left us on Jan. 8, 2010. 
Somehow I did not get enough strength to keep up with the posts and pictures over the past few days, since I often feel too drained to do any unloading of feelings onto the world wide web.
My dear father-in-law, Papa Richard (yes, he shares the same name with D), passed away last Jan. 8, 2010 mainly due to the collapse of his left lung, after suffering from emphysema. Emphysema is a tricky one, that I knew from the very start, yet I had hoped and prayed that he would not be taken that easily or that early from us.
To date, I am still feeling quite sad, yet I cannot change what has happened and somehow I do need to let go. I pray that D and his family will also find the strength to step into a new day and perhaps soon, find peace after what has happened.
To Papa Richard, I know that you are feeling much better now, and that your suffering has been ended. For us, that is the most important thing in the world, and we know that God is good, and He will take good care of you. We love you, and we miss you. XOXO.
