			I think about my dad everyday. There's not a moment of happiness since he passed away that I haven't thought how amazing it would have been just to have him around. There's nothing I wouldn't do to have him back again, cherish those around you. Cancer ruins many lives, not just the direct person.

			My youngest son, who moved out two weeks ago and is living life on his own terms.  It's awfully quiet around the house nowadays but I don't mind.  I worry some about him because I know him so well - his strengths and weaknesses and blind spots.  But he's fully capable on his own.  There is probably no better way to show my love for him than to let him stretch his wings and soar.

			I am thinking about my best friend Phill. If he was still alive life for everyone in our family would be so much better. I miss him. He was such a loving and super mushy guy. He was a great caregiver. He was such a gift to my life and the lives of so many people.

			The anniversary of a past love. Though in truth it had been over long before either of us dared or cared to admit it and I am right where I need to be now, in my heart I will always honor and treasure the memory of some the happiest moments of my life that we shared together and the feeling of true unconditional love.
