Already-published comments will remain visible.<br />I recently ran across this quote: “There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go.”<br />Like so many things that are true, it brought tears to my eyes.<br />It’s been lovely. You have been lovely.<br /><br />Thank you.<br />Michael Doddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00942287172727040371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567424288052948259.post-29839533718991491022016-06-26T16:02:15.602-05:002016-06-26T16:02:15.602-05:00I miss you.

I can't remember how I found you, but I think it had to<br />do with retirement blog searching. My contributions have been few. A couple of simple<br />recipes when you were at odds and ends last winter and that's it. <br /><br />I was sad to read the other week that Tom's diagnosis but encourage you to make the most of time. My grandfather had it, back in the day and while he managed until he was 80, the years from 802 to 85 were difficult for him. So seize the day, and the decade and by then some new treatment might appear that prolongs quality years. <br /><br />PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567424288052948259.post-68796242706779173852016-06-22T11:28:35.242-05:002016-06-22T11:28:35.242-05:00Working my way backwards in blog posts (as I do in...Working my way backwards in blog posts (as I do in life at times).
