Update

Thanks to my friend Terri who pointed out that she was no longer able to leave comments on my blog - sorry about that. I had a spammer leave a comment that was difficult to get rid of, and I tried to make my settings more secure, but I didn't mean to shut everyone out. I've hopefully changed it back to the way it used to be, and I hope you will all continue to leave your wonderful comments for me. I will just have to individually delete inappropriate comments.

For those of you who contacted me about the loss of my friend, thank you so much, I really appreciate it. Today was the visitation, and it was difficult. Tomorrow is the funeral. I will get back to posting about Cecily's fairy book as soon as I can. Thanks again for your understanding, and rest in peace to sweet Rosie, whose life was tragically cut short last week in a car accident. Rosie's sister has been one of my best friends since I was about 10 years old, and Rosie is the same age as my younger brother - they were good friends and he is taking it very hard. We all grew up together, and we just can't believe that Rosie is gone.

I've definitely learned that you need to make the most of each day, and make sure everyone you love knows how you feel about them. Rosie had her whole life ahead of her, and she will be deeply missed.
