Sadness

I'm not sure where to begin this post.

Hubby and I found out this morning that one of his friends/co-worker passed away early Saturday morning after a lengthy battle with cancer. They handled every hurdle and setback with such grace and finesse. Kevin was part of several medical trials at MD Anderson in Houston. It was his thought that even if it didn't help him, maybe...somewhere down the line, it might help someone else.

Words can't begin to express how I feel. My heart goes out to his wife and children. Not only have they lost their beloved husband and father, but they have also lost their home. Their home was in Hurricane Ike's path and was deemed unsafe last week. Deneen had talked of moving to Louisiana after Ike, but that had been put on the back burner when Kevin's health began to rapidly deteriorate.

Keeping up-to-date with how things were going with Kevin & Deneen over the last year or so has helped me to put things into perspective. Life's much too short not to be an active participant. Take the time to tell the ones that mean the most to you that you love them!
