mlerulesHumor sometimes seems like the best/perhaps only way to get through. Just found out (wonders of FaceBook) that a former good friend from law school - we'd drifted apart over the past several years, not out of any enmity, but more of a shifting life-focus - just passed away after five (5) years w/cancer (originally skin, then went into her lungs last November). She's approx 10 years younger than me and left behind a husband and 5-year old son. At least this time around I'm prepared w/a sympathy card on-hand (who's the Virgo).
Really makes me stop, take stock, think, be extra thankful for my friends, my health, and theirs (by and large).
