and Life Continues

A friend of mine just died, of cancer but not of cancer. She died because of the chemo. Specifically of a chest infection she could not fight because of the chemo and the resulting very low white blood cell level.

I wanted to blog some pictures from Malaysia, but not right now. It'll have to wait.


I am old enough to know that regardless of all things somehow life continues etc etc, but just for a little while I am allowing myself to be sad.
