The end, the beginning...

The man I blogged about previously, who so wonderfully LIVED his life, was a cousin of my step father's I've been brought to understand. He went through leukemia, pain and suffering, yet kept his head held high until the end. On Friday he went home from the clinic after learning that his kidney was failing and that the infection he had was potentially (or was) spreading. He wanted to be at home. On Saturday evening, I received a call from my mother while I was out at a totally wonderful conference, that he had gone home to be with the Lord. I was sad for a moment but then quickly remembered the impact he had on so many lives... including my own, to not let life pass you by no matter what the hurdle. I don't have much to type right now, as I am so very tired and ready to sleep, but I ask all of you to keep his family in your prayers- I am going to do the same. God bless everyone and I hope to be back on here soon. Much love.
