Thank you to many of you for your kind words of support during these past few difficult weeks. For those who did not know why I was away for more than 3 weeks, I had to fly to my hometown for my mother's funeral.
She had been ill for the past 8 months and finally succumbed to complications from her previous surgery. The only consolation I have is knowing that she no longer suffers from her illness and, of course, the love and support I received from my family, friends and all of you who offered me your soothing words of sympathy. For this, I again thank you so very much.
I have just returned to home in LA yesterday night. Several topics and TNs are already in my mind, so I look forward to writing, tasting and updating this blogsite again soon...perhaps after the jetlag is gone.
Welcome back. When your jetlag has faded, we should meet up again.
ReplyDeleteI hope all is as well as can be given the circumstances...
We should, Jason. And all is well with me, thank you. I reckon that I'm behind on my notes for the puerh taste off (week 3, 4, and 5 samples). Lots of catching up to do...
ReplyDeleteGlad that you are finally back : )
ReplyDeleteI got some really good goodies waiting for you, my dear tea friend! They sure can curl any jet-lags that last longer then 3 days.
My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.
Tim
Oh, thank you very much, Tim, for the kind words and the goodies! I'll send you a private email soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry to hear that Phyll. I just went through the same thing with my father - and it sucks. Hang in there - see you at Xiles.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am very sorry to hear about your loss, Joey. My poor old father...I'm worried about him now.
