I light this candle in remembrance of the father of some very close childhood friends.

"I AM NOT THERE

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn's rain.

When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
Of quiet birds circled flight
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die."

William Lester Bryan August 22, 1951 - July 20, 2011

To the victims of the massacre in Norway and to their families. Our entire country is standing by your side in the grieve. What can one say besides that, there are no words...

It is said you are never given more than you are able to handle.
This past year I beg to differ,,,
My uncle and his son my cousin died of lung cancer and pancreatic cancer on the same day on Labor day.
My dad passed away on April 20th of heart complications.
Now my room mate and best friend of over 18 years has just been diagnosed with stage 4 bladder cancer at 48 years old and is having his first chemo treatment in the hospital today.
My heart can not stand much more pain.
I just packed up all of my fathers hospice supplies only to see them all out again for my friend.
Please light a candle for him.
Thanks
Leese.

Cancer doesn't knock. Comes crashing crashing in uninvited. Let there be light around the corner on this bumpy painful dark road that was in front of you...
