Two weeks ago yesterday (Thursday) my mum was told she had pancreatic cancer and probably had six months at best. Tuesday 10th Nov. She died. Five days. We had her funeral yesterday. Thats probably why I am sitting here typing this at 04.39 with insomnia set in.
But please, no "sorry to hear that" posts. They go without saying. I'm just makingthe point , earn every breath. That friend of yours is right, Sunrises are what count, another day to fill. The last two weeks have really brought that home to me

and i agree with coldharvest, i am grateful for whatever combination of factors gave this world - and my little virtual slice of it - a man like you. take care, dear, and remember to write.

(So much so, that for several reasons I didn't get to SRR's book launch as I had intended to.)
