An Apology

by Kate on March 1st, 2011 | 61 Comments » | In Life

I’ve written this post in my head nearly every day for the past 19 days. I’ve thought about whether or not to say anything here and what I want to say. Turns out what I really want to do is apologize. I’m sorry if I haven’t returned your email. I’m sorry for delay in picking giveaway winners. I’m sorry to my kids for my inability to focus and give you as much attention as you deserve. I’m sorry to my husband that I’m not one hundred percent focused on and excited about the fact that you’ll be home to visit in 6 days(!).

19 days ago I was getting ready to head to New York City to attend a big toy fair for the blog. Instead, I spent the weekend creating a blog to update our family on my dad. 19 days ago my dad was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia.

My big, strong dad, my kids grandpa, is suffering. And there’s nothing we can do.

And for that, I am the most sorry.
