Sorry, dear friends...

Sorry, dear friends, I did not update my blog yesterday and do not plan to today. I am dealing - we are dealing - with some personal sorrow. We received sad news yesterday regarding a dear dear friend in Alaska. Missi Labean is fighting an aggressive cancer spreading 20% every 5 days. I spent most of yesterday crying and praying. My mind is so pre-occupied with my friend and her family right now. Her husband and daughters are with her at home. Rhonda is expecting a baby boy in April - their first grandchild. Jessi is studying to be a nurse. John is the most devoted husband. We are so grieving. Praying for a miracle. Anyway I will go back to my trip memories as soon as I can wrap my mind around this. I love Missi so dearly and I am going crazy knowing I can't be with her when she needs me. I just want to hold her hand and kiss her.
