And The Beat Goes On!
Hello all my wonderful Wealthy Affiliate friends! Hope things in your world are fine!
I'm here to remind everyone that I have not left Wealthy Affiliate. Just because I have not been on the platform and in the community in weeks, I have not forgotten all the wonderful friends I have made here.
So now, I would like to apologize to everyone for not responding to your blogs/emails.
And The Beat...
There have been many reasons that I have been away from the community. The biggest reason has affected me in many ways.
Many of you know that my mom has not been well lately. Well her condition has been worsening rapidly to the degree that she could no longer be taken care of at home.
As a result she needed to be placed in a rehabilitation center/nursing home. Unfortunately, where she is in more than an hour away from where I live and visitors can only stay for a half hour.
I am able to visit once a week and sometimes I find her alert and other times she is completely out of it. But I am there with her and sometimes she even says my name.
On Monday, she will be evaluated for Hospice care. My heart has been with her.
Goes On...
It [my heart] hasn't been on much else, although I have been doing some writing just to keep my mind off of things I have no control over.
Along with writing, I have been working on developing the website for my Freelance business. Working on building my portfolio and rate plans, etc are taking up a great deal of my time.
Yesterday I published a new article for my MMO website that has already ranked in Google, Bing and Yahoo on the first page.
Until next time! Be well everyone!

Great to see you back on the platform, if only briefly my friend.
As we have discussed before, your Mother's health is very saddening, I just hope that she is not suffering too badly personally, as you and your family inevitably are.
Unfortunately, it's life Barbara, you always know where I am ok. Take care my friend.
Thank you Nick.
How are things with you these days? Is the weather there nice this time of year? We are still experiencing very warm weather.
Talk soon my friend.
Take care,
Barbara
We are just entering our second week of the last holiday of the summer, and probably the year, unless I can get to Brazil for Christmas, but that seems unlikely again this year.
The weather here has been perfect up until today! Now the thunderstorm Gods are having their fun!
ππ for your Mother, Sis! I thought that might have been who you were with! Take care and keep thriving!
Brudda
Thank you very much for your prayers, Brudda.
This has been very hard for me to deal with.
Sis
I can certainly understand that, Sis! Continued prayers for the both of you!

Glad you've come back for a while. You are not in an easy situation, and I'm sure it's been a hardship, both mentally and emotionally, not to mention the inability to have her within reach. We here can understand...thanks for telling us about your situation. I wish you all the best, and hope your mother does okay. Hospice should be a helpful thing. Not an easy place, Barbara, and I know you would like to help her more if you could. Do take time to rest and rebuild your own strength. We will be here when you have time for us.
Fran,
Thank you so much for your beautiful words of support. I truly appreciate them and your friendship.
