apologies - its been a tough slog

I lost my mom 6 months ago, and my dad just a couple of months ago.

I thought it would be easy to respond to everyone who sent kind regards, but it was really not that easy.

So, I'm sorry if I can't complete my promise. I hope you all understand. the circumstances were dire and its taken some time for me to adjust.

regardless, life goes on...

I'm going to try an re-engage now - time to keep up the good fight for what we all are fighting for. especially in memory of those before us...

Happy to be back.

Sincerely, your beaver...
