If you go to my daughters blog!

If you check out my daughter Mellissa blog you'll understand, (ourjourneyforsofia.blogspot.com) My life partner Ed was diagnosed with Lung cancer the 7 th of July. We've lived together 18 years but have know each other 30 years. Like a marriage but no paper we've done it all. The hard thing to understand is he's the most active, healthy 58 year old I know.non-small cell cancer is a KILLER. We're in HOSPICE with family supporting, and many Friends. Ed is losing the battle and we are heart broken and thankful at the same time, He will be missed but I believe we'll meet again where there is no Cancer. Hug your loved ones today because you never know how long. LIVE LIKE YOUR DYING, everyday!

time away

sorry I'll be away from the blog for awhile as I've got to, LIVE LIFE! As everyone knows into each life sorrow comes and we each handle it in different ways. I'll miss sharing but will update as soon as I can. Remember to KIS! and hug your children, and or spouse (or both)
