I'll Be Seeing You


Sorry to start this year off on a negative note but I wanted to explain why you won't be hearing much from me for a while. Our best friend Derek lost his brave battle with brain cancer last night. We are heartbroken but thankful that he is finally at peace. We will never ever forget the vibrant, loving, caring, fun-loving man he was.

Oh no, I'm so sorry. My cousin died of leukemia a few years ago, and I remember being sad but still glad her hurt and pain was over and she was at peace, finally.
