With my dad and sisters on Easter

I’m sorry it’s been so quiet around here lately, and that I haven’t announced the winners of the ebook sets yet. Some of you know, but probably many of you don’t, that my father has terminal prostate cancer. Last week he entered Hospice and we have been told that he probably only has a few weeks left to live.

So, I’m going to take the next few weeks to spend time with him and my mom and sisters, and it will remain pretty quiet around here as we go through this time as a family. I would definitely appreciate your prayers for my family during this time.

I am so, so thankful for you all — that you read, and comment,and link up to Your Green Resource, and just generally make this little blog one of my favorite places to be and interact and share and learn and grow together. So, I will definitely be back, and I’ll still be posting Your Green Resource each week, so you can check in for that on Thursdays.

In the meantime, there are a few things I need to take care of.

First of all, the winners of the ebook sets – Healthy Pregnancy Superfoods and Breast to Bib: Modern Alternative Mama’s Guide to Nourishing Your Growing Family are:

    Thank you for sharing this. I will be praying for you and your family. My dad passed away from cancer a few years ago, and we spent his last 6 weeks of his life in hospice care. It was a difficult time, but we were so thankful for those last weeks we were able to spend with him. From someone who has been in a similar situation, my thoughts are with you.

    Oh sweet friend!
    I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I was with my dad in his last week in hospice and it was a really special time for me. I know it sounds strange to describe it like that, but it was. I was aware of every single minute that I still was with my dad, and that gave me comfort to be strictly in the moment with him. I am so sorry for all that you are going through. I am praying for you and your family.
    Blessings and love my friend,
    Andee

    Hi Emily, I hope you are doing well in this tender time. I’m glad you’re taking it easy and not worrying about your blog too much. You need rest and healing!

    I hate to bring this up, but I was wondering if you sent out the email for the ebook giveaway. I’m one of the two winners, and I wanted to make sure I hadn’t missed your email with the ebook links.

    Thanks for all you do and all of the information you put out for the rest of us! Take care of yourself! 🙂
