Yesterday afternoon I received the phone call I've been dreading. My older brother, David, passed away after battling stage 4 lung cancer for the past year.

I will be taking some time away from blogging to spend time with my family. Thank you so much to all of those who have asked about my brother over the past months and offered their support and prayers. I truly believe that he is in a better place and at peace.

Thank you for sharing your love for him with all of us; your words have helped to remind me that the bond we share with our siblings is so much more significant than we acknowledge from day to day.
