Return to Duty | H.J. Ruiz - Avian101

Return to Duty

Dear Friends,

I’d like to apologize for the sudden stop of my posting about birds. I had to travel immediately to my dear cousin who passed away of cancer. He was almost like a brother to me, we used to travel together on my trips and got along perfectly. He left a family that it’s very dear to me. I really miss him very much as are his family members.

I’m planning to continue my posting as soon as possible. I’ve arrived just last night at home for some days of Hanukah with Lucy and Tyler.

Thank you very much, my dear friends!

THANK YOU!

I’m so sorry to hear of the reason for your absence. I’m glad you were able to be there for your cousin, and for his family. Since I know now that you celebrate Hanukkah, I’m going to take the liberty of providing this link to a wonderful ‘new’ Hanukka song I recently learned about. It’s a fun one to sing!
