I apologize for not posting to my blog recently. On October 26, 2006 my Grandma passed away. I am grateful that I had the chance to go to Maui to be there with my family for the service. I have to say that losing my Grandma would have to be one of the hardest things I have been through to date. She was very special to me. She always said I was a little root of her and her little butterfly wings (meaning always on the move loving to be traveling and out and about). I always felt connected to my Grandma in a special way. I miss her terribly and probably will for a while. I appreciate all of the love and support from friends and family.
