Please Think of Us - Family Crisis

My sweet friends,

This is a very difficult post to write. The morning I posted about recharging my batteries and looking forward to the rest of the year; I found my beloved l'Homme collapsed in our hallway. He has had a massive bleed to his brain and is in intensive care in a critical condition. This is a freak of nature thing. And it has been horrendous. I am so sorry you have to hear this way.
I have incredible support, the Petits are absolutely fine.
I have been posting updates on my facebook page, if you would like to befriend me to watch our progress as a family, you are very welcome.
Michelle Belle has decided she will continue running Galerie Montmartre, however, we will be closed on Sundays along with the Mondays. She feels it is her way to contribute and she is so very capable.
I need you to send us positive thoughts, as shiny and positive as you can. l'Homme has a will of steel, he is still with us and that is a good thing.
Thank you for reading, thank you for your love. I know this will be a very large shock to you. This is an enormous shock to everyone who knows our family, you don't expect a beautiful, strong, healthy man to have such a thing happen. L'Homme has had the best two months of his life, and I feel so happy knowing that his days leading to this tragic event were the happiest, most exciting of his life.
I will not be posting for a little while, but have every intention of being back in blogland in the future.

With much love and hope...

Shelley T - Femme de M

    Shelley, if you are reading this now, pop outside soon and see an eclipse of the moon, it's a full moon tonight so it should be pretty spectacular, eclipse or not. I hope this cheers you up or gives you strength in some way. Thinking of your family.
