I had planned to be more active on this blog in 2026. However, at the start of the year, my mother-in-law who my family and I were living with since the pandemic in order to help her out, started to get sick. We had taken her to the doctor several times but she insisted she was feeling fine. A few days before my birthday which is on Jan 9th, my mother-in-law fell very ill to the point that I had to insist she goes to the doctor.
Unfortunately, that would be the last time I would see her. My husband and his brother brought her to the emergency room while I went to pick up my son from school. She passed away suddenly. To make a long story short, I postpone any work on my blog to deal with the passing of my mother-in-law and to help my kids adjust to life without their grandmother. It’s been rough. We all feel like she just went on a very long vacation and will be returning soon but as the days go on, we are slowly coming to the realization that she has passed on to the next life. Hopefully, she finds peace and blessings there.
