Perspective

Amidst our personal battles it's easy to lose sight of what is most important in our lives. Family. Friends. Those we love with all our hearts and souls. Last night, after a long battle, Rick lost his lovely bride of 32 years to the scourge of Cancer.

Words are insufficient. My heart aches and my thoughts go out to Rick and his family. May God grant him mercy and the comfort he so badly needs right now.

Rick, you will never be far from our thoughts and ever in our prayers. Lu and I grieve with you.

Thank you so much, my friend. Your encouragement and prayers meant so much. I read your Sunday Kipling's to her and she enjoyed them. When you shaved your head she asked me if you knew you had crossed to the dark side.

Right now I need some rest. But I have children and grandchildren to talk of so I will be back.
