A sad day…

It is a bitter sweet day. My skin cancer battle has passed but our friend Paula lost her battle with multiple myeloma. We were lucky to spend a couple of hours with her last week. She told stories of her youth, her loves and her already written obituary. She was amazing and strong until the end. Soothing those who came to visit with a calm grace. God bless you Paula. 
Another reminder of this terrible disease. Call your family and friends. Keep them close. I am sad…
Sad day. Thanks for stopping by
God bless, 
-Ian
