Life... and my radio show

Hi bluegrass fans!

I wanted to update my listeners on the state of my life as it pertains to my twice-weekly radio show so you don't think I'm neglecting you!

I've decided to take a hiatus from my Wednesday night show (6-8 PM Eastern) until further notice. I will still do my Tuesday night show as often as possible (8-10 PM Eastern). However, my grandmother is in the last stage of Altzheimer's and is currently in long-term care, and it's really important for me to visit her every day when I get off work. My grandparents basically raised me during my formative years when my mom got divorced and worked in NYC and was gone long before sun up and came home long after sun down. My grandparents were like parents to me, so much so that I called them "mom" and "pop" because that's what I thought they were!

Needless to say, my grandmother and I have a special bond and it is breaking my heart to watch her decline. As hard as it is, I am going to be there for her, because she is the one person in my life that has always been there for me.

If you pray, I ask that you say a prayer for my grandma that she passes quickly and peacefully. She asks God every day to take her so she can be with my grandfather in heaven. And maybe say an additional prayer for me that I can be there for her without falling apart.

Thanks everyone for your support and understanding... and I'll "see ya" on Tuesdays nights on the Bluegrass Mix!

love,
Teri
