I don’t use LJ as much as I’d like, and I hate to come back and make my first post after so long one of sad news. But I wanted to let people know why I’m going to be unavailable for a little while - especially with D*Con and MoR duties picking up.
I’m going to be going up to Columbus for a week of bereavement for my Grandmother, who passed away this past Saturday evening. She was 84, but in very good health, and it’s an unexpected accident that has rocked my family. She was leaving dinner with friends after church and was struck by a car while crossing the street - we really think it was just very bad luck, but we don’t have the police report back yet.
She was truly the matriarch of my family, and adored by every single one of us. I’m lucky that I’ve been able to spend a lot of time with her, and we’ve been very close for the past ten years. I’m not really ready to talk about how much of a loss this is quite yet, but I want to come back later to talk a bit about how amazing she was.
Some things are going very well though, and I want to come back and talk more about those too. Ben and I are very happy with life, we got to spend a great weekend with Ban and Karassa camping in northern Ohio, we’ve gotten to travel a lot, and I have a new job. Lots of things are going well, and I’ll plan to come back and post more about them after this week.
