It’s been a while, I know. But like any good friend, you don’t mind. We can pick right up where we left off, never missing a step.
You know if you haven’t heard from me that some big things are happening. This hiatus wasn’t any different.
My last post was that we were back in the real world and nesting. Which of course didn’t last too long. We had a good show in Nashville and a fantastic time in Chicago. We were able to spend Thanksgiving with my family in Chicago before the show and step away from production for a bit.
After Chicago it was time to produce again and get the house ready for the pending holidays (and all the family that was to descend on our home for such festivities.) Everything was on track… even dare I say, ahead of schedule. Until the phone rang at 11:45 pm the evening of Friday, December 18th.
It was the call we all dread to receive. One of Rinse’s biggest fans and supporters – and even more devastating – Damyn’s father/best friend passed away from an apparent heart attack.
Our world went into a full tailspin and the next 5 days were a full blur throwing us into Christmas Eve. Thank goodness family is family and they really don’t care if your house is clean and all of the presents were purchased. We were able to be together, and that’s all that mattered.
The tailspin has continued as arrangements for the estate are being made and everything is sorted out. Admittedly a couple of small things slipped through our cracks but we have done a good job of picking those up and we are still pulling all of the pieces together.
Colin is and will be missed everyday. He helped us in so many ways that I don’t even think he knew about.
