Where's Cheryl? - 08/26/17 05:16 AM
Dear Boomer friends,
I was encouraged by Sue (Pandora) to post here to update my Boomer friends on my current situation. My older sister has lost her short and courageous battle with cancer and I expect a phone call at any time now letting me know she is in a better place. I have 9 siblings and she is the first to leave this world. Needless to say, it's taking it's emotional toll. If I don't respond, within a reasonable amount of time, to any posts, especially in the cryptic thread, please know it's because I have a lot on my plate right now. Please keep the thread rolling in my absence.
Next Wednesday, I'll also be, reluctantly, undergoing treatment for a brain tumor that was incidentally found a couple of years ago. If it gets any closer to my optic nerves, it may cause blindness and then how could I hope to answer crypts? I honestly only expect to be derailed for a couple of days but if it goes longer, you'll understand my absence. I love to visit the Garden as a stress relief and it's served me well over the years. I also have very low impulse control when it comes to certain puzzles. Sorry in advance if I neglect my role. I appreciate your support while I get my life in order. Please keep my sister and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
