nice time visiting with my hubby&#8217;s family in London and Coventry, but unfortunately the trip was overshadowed by some sad news from back home. \u00a0My dad, who has been battling cancer for years, has taken a turn for the worse. \u00a0It&#8217;s crazy because he flew to California in December for my wedding and was doing pretty well. \u00a0Unfortunately, cancer complications can flare up suddenly and now he is barely coherent and barely hanging on. \u00a0I tried to alter my return flight to head straight to Miami (where my parents live) but the airline was unable to work with me. \u00a0I just arrived back in LA last night and will be flying out to Florida tomorrow. Things are pretty hectic and honestly I&#8217;m exhausted. \u00a0I wanted to share this because I haven&#8217;t updated in a while and I&#8217;m not sure when I&#8217;ll post again with everything going on. \u00a0I do want to blog about my time in England, though I won&#8217;t get to it just yet. \u00a0Right now my priority is to be there for my dad, as well as my mom and younger brother. \u00a0They&#8217;re by my dad&#8217;s side everyday at the hospital and I know they&#8217;re getting burnt out. \u00a0For now, I want to share these pictures from my wedding last December. \u00a0Dad was so happy and had such a nice time visiting with us. \u00a0I can&#8217;t believe he&#8217;s deteriorated so drastically, and I&#8217;m sure it won&#8217;t really hit me until I get there, which I&#8217;m not 100% prepared for. \u00a0I know I don&#8217;t have a lot readers just yet, but for anyone listening, your thoughts and prayers are appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just got home from a nearly two week UK vacation. \u00a0I had a nice time visiting with my hubby&#8217;s family in London and Coventry, but unfortunately the trip was overshadowed by some sad news from back home. \u00a0My dad, who has been battling cancer for years, has taken a turn for the worse. \u00a0It&#8217;s [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":299,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","_vp_format_video_url":"","_vp_image_focal_point":[],"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[65,109,225],"class_list":["post-293","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-personal-updates","tag-cancer-is-a-bitch","tag-family-matters","tag-personal-update","entry"],"featured_image_src":"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/dsc01346-600x400.jpg","featured_image_src_square":"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/dsc01346-600x600.jpg","author_info":{"display_name":"Luisa Lucia","author_link":"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/?author=1"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=293"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/293\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/299"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=293"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=293"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thestarlightmystic.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=293"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
