The shifting of the earth

I wrote that last one on Tuesday.  It is Thursday morning.  I've had a rough couple of days.  My father has passed, and although I could get into the gritty details, I have decided to keep the focus of this blahg on my family in France.  I appreciate your concern, thoughts and prayers.  We (my family and I) have made the decision that I shall stay here with my children, and not travel home at this time.  There is a lot that went into this decision.  I am choosing to keep this close to me.  I love my father and will miss him greatly.  It feels as if my earth has shifted on its axis.
