Sorry to co-opt this thread for my own purposes. I wanted to let people who used to read AD know that our dear friend Claudiu's father just passed away today (May 20). Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers as he is processing this loss. I will pass along any messages you give me.
Thanks Julie. I'll be praying for him.
