Tough Start to the New Year

I'm sad to say that tomorrow my family and I will be traveling to the memorial for my dad (Richard L. Ballard) who passed away on Saturday, January 3rd.

While I was expecting this to be a difficult year in terms of my dad's health, I don't think any of us expected for the end to happen as rapidly as it did.

I look forward to being with my family during this difficult time. I'll be away for several days, but will check back as soon as I can and see what everyone's been creating.
