Sorry I haven't been around lately. As you know, I mentioned in my last post my mom was recently diagnosed with cancer. She was really improving but unfortunately, she unexpectedly passed away last week. I'm feeling very lost right now, and just well...I don't really know. I never thought I'd lose my mom when I am only 24 years old. I'm still in a state of disbelief really.

My husband Chris and I are with my dad here in Chicago and will be returning to Virginia tomorrow. Wrigley and Cobalt are with a pet sitter for the time being so I hope they are okay. Hopefully I'll regain some sort of normalcy once we return and I can get back into the habit of posting regularly.

My aunt wrote a really nice post on her blog today about my mom, which can be found here.
