Love and Life

Two Fridays ago I wrote a post called "Love."  It was inspired by John and Cat Goddard and the struggle they have been facing since John was diagnosed with cancer.  John's birthday was last week.  He turned 28.  With a heavy heart, I've learned that he passed away today.  My thoughts are with his wife Cat, his family and his friends.

This Sunday I'm running a 5K.  It is to raise money for ovarian cancer research but I'm running it in honor of all those that have had someone taken too soon because of cancer.  It is a disease that has many forms and has affected truly everyone that I know, myself and family included.  The race is in the morning and that same afternoon my dear friend, L., is getting married.  The day will be full of life affirming steps and reminders to never take love and life for granted.

It is Love that holds everything together, and it is the everything also.  - Rumi
