Some of you may have noticed I missed a day of blogging. To say that I had a rough 24 hours would be giving the term “rough” quite a workout. I won’t go into details because the main story is not my own, but it involved health scares, hospital visits, and and a whole lot of stress. The result is that everyone is fine now and life will get back to normal relatively soon. So I guess you could say it all has a happy ending. (No, not THAT kind…perv!)

At times like these, you really find out who your friends are. Now, I feel that phrase normally is used to disparage “fair weather” friends, but I mean it to prop up the amazing group of people I have in my life. From Andy and Noah, to Miranda (wife of frequent TANguest: Geoff…who was also there for us, I might add) to friends of my wife’s who you’ve never heard of and will never read this blog…people really stepped up and helped in ways both tangible and emotional. It’s good to know when the Babb train goes off track, there are so many wonderful people ready to help right our course.

Even though most of them will never read this, I want to use this space to say thank you.

…and now this blog series will stop being cryptic and dramatic and go back to being all about typos and failed attempts at humor. The way God intended it!
