Jana,
Best wishes for your father. Hope he will get better. It had to be very difficult for whole family.
This January 2014 is really tough. We in US have record cold winter. It is deadly serious stuff. I call my friends in England few days back, and they had wind that almost blow away roof of they house. This year starts not in a good way.
Jana, lets hope that all this will be behind us soon.
xoxo J.
