Dear readers,
I apologize if you have tried to contact me within the last few days and I haven’t responded. Someone I love very much recently passed away. It was sudden, and my family and I are still trying to come to terms with the loss. I just wanted to explain my absence and tell you what’s been going on. My family is small. Now there is one less person in the world that I love, one who loved me back, and I will miss him.
Papa, although I know you’re gone and you’ll never get to see this…I love you. I’ll miss spending time with you and our great talks. I’ll miss how you called sometimes just to say hello. I’ll miss how strong you were in your faith and how you tried to help me through the tough times (especially these last few years). I’ll miss seeing your smile, your hugs and how you were the only one to ever call me “princess.” You were truly one of the best men I have ever known, and I love you so much.
Again, readers, I am sorry, and I’ll try to get back to posting regularly soon. I truly hope you are all well.
Happy reading,
Cookie O’Gorman

I’m so so sorry for your loss, Cookie. It’s so hard to lose someone close to you, and I pray you’ll be surrounded by love and support in this difficult time. <3
Thank you so much, Kelsie.
I’m so very sorry to hear this.
I left you a message on this site about a photo of you I saw.
