Hey Judy,
Firstly, even a noob like me noticed your absence; you make a difference around here!
Secondly, even a noob like me understood that something must be going on in your life to keep you away, and so sending good thoughts your way was being done!
Lastly, apologies for not being around for a wee bit because real life is happening is nothing to apologize for!
Hugs for you and for your kids and for your brave husband. Happy life!!
