Thursday....January 13th...2011

Linda is resting well...I take comfort in that....no pain and snoring loudly...good for her!

I've thought a lot about how our lives together will end.....my dear hope is that we are not there yet.....I reflect back through some pictures I have been sorting of Linda for a publication I am planning and realize it wasn't that long ago that she was so healthy and energetic and adventuresome....loving life...and living life...and how suddenly that life transitioned to another type of life...where we accepted each day as a "new normal" and "it was what it was"....and yet in reflection...there still was a quality to that new life....

I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time over 30 years ago to meet a wonderful woman who overcame a tragedy and exhibited positive attitudes and saw good in people...was without negative judgements.....practiced acceptance....

She has taught me a lot about life...and I am a better person because of her....

Well enough of the babbling.....I am still absorbing these comments tonight to the posting...all I can say is "incredible"..how our lives touch others and others......ours...

Peace be to you....

Dave - you are lucky to have found Linda, and we are so very lucky to have met the two of you at the races. Our lives have been enriched by your friendship.

So good to hear that Linda is sleeping well... hope you can get some rest too (and don't forget to eat). :)

Hugs to both of you!
Jim and Swee
