Tough Tuesday.


Me on Jalapeno Grande. Just got back. Life has been weird and sad these past few days. Someone I love died unexpectedly so as you can imagine, I've been, well, more or less distraught. He was a very close friend.

I'm better today. I know I'll have good days and bad days over the next few months. I've decided the best thing to do is remember him as he looked the day I met him, smiling, robust, full of life and love.

As my husband says, everybody dies. I guess my friend was the one person who was so much larger than life he'd never, ever leave.
Happier post next week. Julia

Julia, I am so sorry about your loss. A dear friend will never be replaced, but you will remember the memories with joy.
