So sorry, Al. We’re losing friends as we age,, got a mandolin buddy who’s on his last legs with cancer, a good Cape Breton man.

The sad price of surviving is to lose so many that we love. I've had to remind myself these last few years that it is a good thing to have known someone whose absence will always hurt.

There's a line in some movie I watched recently (can't remember now what it was) that has stuck with me ... "We're at the age now where Life has stopped giving us things, and has started taking them away." Hard to turn away from this truth.

I've lost many friends in the last year or two. I just hang on to the blessing for having known them at all. I think you feel the same.

My condolences, Al.

Every so often I think about some news I'd like to share with someone, but can't.
