As many of this blog’s readers know, I have been in Ireland for the past 6 weeks or so, helping care for my mother. Mom finally passed, very peacefully in her sleep, with her three sons around her bed.
Given the circumstances, I didn’t get to today’s puzzle. I run a one-man-show here, so I am sure you can understand the short pause in coverage of the daily puzzles. Mom was always a tough taskmaster, so I’m sure that her spirit will have me back up and running tomorrow or the day after.

I am so sorry for your loss, Bill. My thought and prayers are with you and your family.
Sorry for your loss Bill. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Take your time and don’t stress over the blog. We’ll get along fine until you come back.
I am sorry for your loss. May you be comforted by happy memories.

So sorry, Bill. It’s wonderful you could all be there with her.
Sincere condolences for your loss.
Wishing you peace & thank you for thinking of us during your grief.
Indeed, Bill, sorry for you loss.
This puzzle took me about 50 minutes, but in retrospect it wasn’t all that difficult. Maybe I was just being lazy.
What John said earlier – get back to this blog when you get back to this blog. Deal with more important things. We’ll still be here when you return.
Echo the good thoughts. We’ll all wait patiently for your return.
God bless your dear mother…..may she rest in peace.
Sincere sympathy to you and your families. You can never be prepared for a parent’s passing even though you know it’s coming. Be at peace.
I’m so sorry for your loss, Bill. It’s good that you were there. Peace.
I am sure it was a great comfort to her having her three sons there. Take your time processing and we’ll be here when you return.
My condolences. Glad you and your brothers could be there with and for her.
It is odd but wonderful how these blogs bring people together. I know a lot of us are praying for you and your family. God bless.
I have never posted before, but I will be thing of and praying for you and you family. I really appreciate your work.
Thanks, Bill, for sharing about your dear mom. May God bless you and your family, and may your mother rest in peace. Hugs, Rochelle
