I’m going to be away from blog-land for awhile. Monday evening I got a call that my grandmother (my nan) was going to the hospital as she was having some problems with her breathing. On Tuesday my nan’s battle with lung disease (COPD) came to an end. She passed on peacefully, surrounded by family. We were all lucky enough to spend her last hours with her, comforting her and loving her. Nan wasn’t just my grandmother, she was my best friend, and I was blessed to have had her in my life for the past thirty-one years.
I’m not sure when I’ll be back, but I will return at some point. There are a few reviews that I’ve committed to for August, and I am sorry but those will more than likely be late. In the meantime anyone needing to contact me can send an email to shiloki@gmail.com
Take care everyone and enjoy the rest of your summer.
