Dear WordPress family,

I always want to take certain opportunities to thank you for all the continued support. Your likes and comments continually inspire/facilitate my writing in ways that I couldn’t even begin to adequately describe. I especially appreciate everyone for embracing me and being so kind upon my comeback to daily poetry posting after months away.

That being said, I have been silent for the last week due to a very important event. My wife has recently finished a successful open-heart surgery and is on the road to recovery. We are very blessed, but things are still tough, and her healing is going to a long and arduous journey.

I will be writing again soon. In the meantime, your prayers and best wishes will sustain us through this difficult time.

Love always,

• J. Pigno
