Last year... I lost my house, home and most everything in it. Then I lost my older sister in July. I am still not settled, but surviving.

SO... I figured and looked forward to this year, 2026, as being a "New Beginning", and time renew myself and everything else.

So, in the wee hours of Friday Morning all of that changed. My son, Bradley, 62 years old, died of a heart attack. He has not been really well for a number of years with diabetes. But he was getting along okay.

It was quite a shock to me and he lived in Southern Wisconsin, so I haven't seen him for a number of years.

Now, I have one more hurdle to get over in this renewal that I am going through. This kind of thing is never easy and especially when you getting ready to Celebrate you 85th birthday in 10 days. Needless to say there won't be any Joy or Celebration from me.

Thank you for listening... not many in family left to listen.

Tight chains to all.

Garry-
