A Personal Update

I had planned to return from vacation on Tuesday, September 8, but unfortunately, those plans have changed.

During our time away, my partner Jeremy’s father, William, was killed in a car accident. His death was sudden and completely unexpected, and we are still trying to process what has happened.

Right now, Jeremy and our family need time to grieve, take care of the many things that come with an unexpected loss, and simply be together.

Because this has just happened, I am unable to give a date for when I will return to Burning The Ground. For the time being, the site will remain on pause.

I know many of you were expecting me back next week, and I appreciate your understanding while we deal with this heartbreaking loss.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and for giving us the time and space we need right now.

Condolences to Jeremy and his extended family. Personally I’ve found receiving such news when I’m away from home is particularly jarring. Please take all the time you need in this difficult time.

Paul, I am so very sorry for your loss and for the loss Jeremy is experiencing as well. Please take good care of Jeremy during this difficult time, but don’t forget to take care of yourself, too.
My heart goes out to both of you and your entire family. Please remember that you are not alone in your grief. You are surrounded by people who genuinely care about you both—even those of us who may know you only through the Internet. Distance, or never having met in person, does not make the compassion or concern any less real.
