ICLW ~ June 2010

Hello friends and fellow travelers! 

It's that time again, time for the bloggy love-fest known as ICLW! (If you're uncertain what I'm talking about, check out the little red box in the right sidebar...you'll find all you need to know there!).  If you're a new visitor, you can check out my backstory on the "Welcome Friends" tab on the top of the page.  I just love ICLW, last month I was introduced to so many new blogs, I can barely keep up with them all in my Google Reader!  Even though I might not comment everyday, I do try my hardest to keep you all read!  I'm hoping to add even more readers and blogs this month! 

I'd like to thank you all for your condolences on the passing of my Aunt Helen. She truly was a remarkable woman. A woman that I'm learning a lot from, even in death. I find it sad that sometimes in our lives we don't know, understand, or truly comprehend how amazing the people in our lives really are until they are gone. Don't get me wrong, I've always admired and loved Aunt Helen...but hearing so many stories of how much she touched others' lives, well, it kind of makes me sad that I didn't know all those things about her before she was taken from us by the evil disease of Alzheimer's. She was gone for so long before she was truly gone, if that makes sense. My Aunt Judy said this weekend that she can finally feel Aunt Helen around us again. It made total sense...for so long there was this cloudy emptiness where Aunt Helen used to be. I know and am so happy that she is finally at peace, reunited with the great loves of her life, my Uncle Carl and her beloved puppies Choco and Lucky.

OK, before I get all maudlin and reminiscent again, let's get to this month's ICLW intro!
