Today is a day of remembrance and tribute.
We received one of those dreaded calls on Wednesday. The sad news that a much beloved business client and friend of my husbands had passed away Tuesday from cancer. We had last heard in the Spring that Larry was doing well and improving, also had a phone call from his daughter in the past month, maybe two about something totally unrelated and there was no mention of her fathers condition deteriorating. So very shocking and heartbreaking. Today we will be attending his funeral and memorial service. Wishing his family comfort in memories and the love surrounding them today.
Take time today to hold your loved ones near or make that call or send that letter. Time is fleeting.

A thought that should be held every day. Thank you for sharing. My condolences to you and your husband for the passing of a friend.

Having been in my own personal wrestling match with the evil C, I can say it is sneaky and a most formidable foe. This time of year is an especially difficult time to lose a dear one.

Hi Sherrie!
ReplyDeleteI so agree - it is a reminder that I need continually, I am forever getting caught up in the small stuff that is of no import. Thank you so very much for your kind words.
Hi Nan!

Hi Pam!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your kind words and thoughts for us, I so appreciate them and you.
Absolutely and a reminder that I need daily, I get lost so easily and readily in the minutia of life.
Hi Leslie!
