I really want to thank everyone who responded to my request for prayer and support. It went a long way toward making me feel better.

Unfortunately, my uncle Kenneth passed away on Friday night. It wasn't unexpected, as he'd been ill for quite some time. But still there's that feeling that I should have visited him more often when I had the chance. The last time I talked to him was in early May, and he complained then that no one ever came to see him anymore. I can't drive long distances myself, but I promised him that when school let out, I would have my son drive me up to where he lived and visit him as often as I could. But because of the way it all worked out, I didn't get to visit even once. So now, of course, I feel guilty about that.

Anyway, thank you all again for your support, and please know that it was very greatly appreciated!
