I found out that I lost a good friend and great guy a few days ago, doing what he loved to do most, backpacking through a corner of Alaska.

It's a gut punch, the kind that leaves you wandering in a daze, wiping away the tear that surfaces unexpectedly, not sure of what your next move or words should be. He was a wonderful man, caring and considerate, a storyteller supreme, and the world is lesser without him.

This is not making me feel social. I know you guys care, and if I'm not here for a couple days, I accept and thank you in advance for your loving and gracious sympathies.

Oh Grandpa - my thoughts and prayers and sympathies are with you. That's heartbreaking. What a gift he must have been to everyone he loved!

Things are ok. Waiting for my CNA to show up, so she can help with with a shower.
Got in touch with 3 of my broghters.
The one next to me is dealing with his wife in a hospital dying of cancer. I did not know about that. She was the sweetest girl.
The oxygen is helping me at night to breathe better. Taking some getting used to hearing the machine.
Thanks for asking about me.
