I haven't updated this blog in quite a while, and for good reason. Rather than leave readers and supporters hanging any longer, I feel that an explanation of my blogging hiatus is in order, followed by an update on all of the recent exciting news about Erika. There is bad news, and there is good news. Let's start with the bad.
I have taken the break from blogging for personal reasons. Specifically, I am getting divorced, after 18 years of marriage. I don't care to elaborate much, other than to say that the kids are doing well, and their dad and I are working together to ensure that this transition to a new normal is done with the best interest of all three of our children in mind. I was requested to stop blogging about Erika during this period, and I found it in my best interest to do so.
While I know that new challenges lie ahead, I am looking forward to this new phase in my life. I am eagerly anticipating my return to work, and the great news is that Erika has made great progress this past year, affording me the opportunity to move forward with my career.
