Friends and Fond Memories

We had more sad news this week. Another good friend of ours, Robert, passed away unexpectedly this past week. Robert was loved dearly by his friends, and to say he will be greatly missed just doesn't express it well enough. It's daunting to write about how well loved someone was. To those suffering the loss, words don't seem to carry enough meaning, or weight.

I am very glad I knew Robert. He brought a hope and deterimation and adventure to life that was truly amazing and inspiring.

But it's not just the amazing people that add to my life. It's the ordinary, the everyday, the people who are there in their different ways that make my life rich. My parents, my brother & sisters, my relations, all my in-laws, my friends, my husband, my co-workers (whether your on this side of the planet or the other), you are an important part of my life...I'm very glad you're there, in your own ways, and love you for it.

Here's praying that even more hope -- and maybe some (good) adventure -- be added to mix of our lives.
