My Dad
Dear readers .... I received some very bad news a
few days ago. My dad died in a car accident on his way to his house in Spain. I
am devastated by the news and will leave for the Netherlands with my two boys
and my husband this evening. In my absence a group of truly wonderful blog
friends have volunteered to write guest posts on Bloesem Living and BKids. I am
very touched by their support for me and my blogs. Sufiya, who most of you know
by now, will be responding to emails until my return. While I am unable to focus on my blogs right
now, my dad would have been proud that I am not completely abandoning my
readers and sponsors. He was my example when it comes to work, my friend and mentor ... and very proud of the Bloesem
blogs. So in honor of him, although you won’t be hearing from me in the next
two weeks, Bloesem blogs would like to continue spreading beauty to the world .... I leave you in the very capable hands
of my blog friends and Sufiya who I am sure will treat you to some amazing new
finds! A happy picture of our last family vacation in Spain last July.
My best, Irene ... and PLEASE promise me don't forget to enjoy LIFE!
So, so sorry. Take your time. We'll all be here.
