Gone Home

To those friends that asked to be notified....we lost my FIL at 3:30am this morning. We have indeed lost one of the dearest men that ever lived...but heaven has gained an amazing angel. PLEASE remember us in prayer-this year started out with losing our niece in the house fire and then my FIL diagnosed with cancer 6 months ago and he fought the hardest battle up until this morning. We also lost his son-in-law (my sister-in-laws husband-he was diagnosed on September 9 2011 with pancreatic cancer and he died September 23 2011) this week. He was buried Monday. It's been a rough year and this week in particular with 2 deaths in a week has really taken a toll on our family. Please remember us all and please ask a prayer for us or a good thought for us-BUT especially remember my sister-in-law that lost her husband and dad all in a weeks time.
Thank you to all you beautiful people that have been so kind during the last 6 months.

love and hugs,
BeckySC

Paused indefinetely!

Thank you friends for thinking of me and emailing to check in. Please accept my sincere apologies for not being able to respond to you individually. We are dealing with a great deal in our families (both sides) at this time and online time is something I do not have the desire to be doing at this time. I appreciate all the kind notes regarding how you miss my blog post and my stitching (not much stitching at all happening for the past 4 months (but that is OK, in time that will change) as I have just been so overwhelmed with emotions regarding our family members that are so sick-until you have been there you can't imagine what heartache you feel-cancer is such an ugly word and disease-I have not had the desire to write anything in my blog-or share any finishes (which have been VERY few) or take part in online activities)-at this time I will not be returning to blogging-that may change at a later date-but for now I will be offline so if you email you will not receive a reply It has been MY great honor and priviledge to know and call many of you friends. I hope you can understand my decisions regarding blogging/corresponding. Maybe someday in the future I can return to the online community but for now it is just not in the cards. I am staying PLENTY busy in other areas of my life-life is changing and I am changing along with it-it's not all bad and there are still a great many blessings in my life that I am so thankful for and happy about. And there have been some wonderful activities with friends and families that I have felt so BLESSED to be a part of and would truly not want to miss out on-don't think I am sitting around feeling sorry for myself or my family-that's not at all what's going on....I just have NO desire to spend PRECIOUS time online-time goes on, and days pass by quickly no matter how much I may want them to slow down so that we can have more time-when they say someone has maybe a year....a year is so short..... and we are now 6 months into that year.
I would like to thank EACH of you that have sent cards and gifts-I have received some really lovely gifts PLEASE know they are MORE appreciated than you can ever begin to understand.
Thank you again for your understanding (for those that don't...oh well-I have nothing whatsoever to say to you)and for the love and care you have shown me and my family!
Take care and keep stitching-believe me I will again pick up needle and thread as it remains my passion!!!
Love and hugs from SC,
BeckySC
