life & love * love & life
I am so in love - with this thing we call life! love & life ~ can we separate the two? I love my collage and the million ideas in my head - I am finally finding my creative juices once more, after THE wedding quilt, I thought I had exhausted the well, but I am being inspired & encouraged by many lovely gals out there (thankyou)
I am off to a funeral today - a friend who I met about 16 years ago, when I converted to Catholicism. He was 72 and died from cancer, didn't smoke, lived well - funny, I have known about 12 people who have died from cancer in the past 5 years AND NOT ONE OF THEM SMOKED - so what is it that causes the beast? anyhow - I digress (again) He helped me on my journey, always asking how miss robyn was and if I needed to know anything about the faith? hee, hee - little did he know what he was letting himself in for - was there anything I needed to know ? well, yes, there is! but I digress again. He was a true gentleman - being married to the same gal for about 45 years & still in love........ his funeral is at 11am this morning and I am getting there about 45 mins early. why? because they are expecting about 500 people! 500 people? yes. How is that for being loved? I know that he wasn't 'that' young but the world has lost a good kind soul.

I'm sorry your lost a friend. It is tought, isn't it. And his poor widow. xoxo
So long as he remains in the memories of those who loved him, he will live on.
So sorry to hear about your friend. It's good you can cherish such wonderful memories.
I'm sorry to hear of your friends death but glad to hear you cherish him and those who knew him.
In terms of the cancer question. I think it is partlly because nature finds ways to destroy as much as it does to create, perhaps. The problem with the environment we live in is there are a number of cancer causing things around, other peoples smoke, cars, some types of plastic. And then the things inside us we have no control over. Genes, who'd have 'em?
I am so sorry.
