Thank you to all of you who have sent me good wishes. Although I did not acknowledge them all individually, I do appreciate them.
I am working on a longer blog post on the subject, but the punchline is that my father is going into hospice care. We are just taking it a day at a time and trying to juggle visiting him with the responsibilities of real life. But to be completely frank, right now I care much more about seeing him while I can than pretty much anything else.
Please bear with me and any balls I may drop during this extremely challenging period.
