Humor 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).

I was very sorry to read this. Be well, honey, and know that I love you. I'll have great big hugs for you when I see you in a few weeks.

*sits down with you and shares a cup of tea and a quiet after noon on the porch*

Thx. Can't remember whether you ever met Julie. DenBob knew her from hiking w/me and stuff - and they dated very briefly - so I've just sent him an e-mail w/more info.

I'm sorry for your loss, Emily. It's shocking how many people are impacted by cancer in one way or another.

I will think of your friend during the remembrance ceremony at Relay for Life this weekend.

*hug*

SO sorry Emily. Gota say, I really suck at being a Virgo. I always pass up the card section.
