September is here.

September is my favourite month for so very many reasons. Back to school (even though I don't go anymore). Beginning of Fall (yummy clothes and hot cocoa!). My anniverary with Greg (nine years, eek). The Europe trip (eek)...There are so many reasons that I love this month, I cannot possibly name them all. But I might try. Loving this right now.
There are some really exciting crafty things happening this month as well. ;)
Today, the first day of September, has been full of ups and downs and not at all how I expected it to be.
It actually got off to a great start. Incredibly cool to have been scrapjacked. Love those ladies and love that site. Very excited about this.

Work was also different, and not in a bad way. It was actually rather fun.

However, this afternoon I got some bad news about my father. His health is... not good. I am, unsurprisingly, rather upset. It is not a very hopeful situation. I am patiently, so patiently, waiting to hear more about his condition. About the next set of tests. Patiently waiting to know more. I never thought I would deal with this so soon. I thought it would be when I was much older. It is a hard thing to manage. But I am trying. I am hoping. And I am living.
Thank you for reading. Think good thoughts for me, and my dad. Hug your loves close tonight.
Peace.

Christina,
So sorry to hear about your dad.
I understand your pain, I lost my dad on Christmas day last year and it was a very hard thing to go through.

I am sending you a virtual hug and praying for you and your family.
