BlogHer or Bust…BUST
Posted by Nette @ Smiling Mom under All About Me, Blogging Fun
We’ve known since the beginning of December that my grandma was living on borrowed time. She was diagnosed with ovarian cancer at that time and given 3 weeks to 6 months to live. Seven and a half months later, she passed away.
My mom was there, by her side as she passed on. For that I’m grateful.
The funeral is Saturday, so we’re scrambling to get everything together for the funeral and our next two vacations… today.
We leave tomorrow.
And I had to sell my ticket to BlogHer.
Such a bummer. This was to bet the first time I’d ever taken a weekend for myself to satisfy my guilty pleasures.
There’s always next year, right??
Sigh.
Priorities. Family always comes first. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
So tomorrow, we leave to attend our final party for Grandma Bryan. And Saturday, we say goodbye.

I’ve recently been hit with a steam of spam comments. As a result I’ll be turning off my comments for the days I’ll be gone from my computer.
So all hundreds of you coughONEofYoucough don’t be alarmed when you are unable to leave your witty thoughts on my posts.
Peace, and if you’re attending BlogHer, have a wonderful time.

I’m so sorry about your Grandmother. And I’m very sorry you won’t be with us at BlogHer.
We’ll be thinking of you!

Oh no. I’m so sorry. I haven’t yet made it to BlogHer– maybe we’ll both make it next year…? Good luck with it all!
