Another warm morning. This is quite nice; opening the windows and letting the spring breezes pass through the house. Another month and this will be the norm.
We had one of those good news/bad news moments last night. Our friend, Byron, had passed away yesterday. He had been in hospice care for about a week and had been sleeping most of that time. I remember Byron telling us his age once but I’ve forgotten; 91 or 87? What we do remember about Byron was his good spirit. We used to pick him up once a week and take him out to dinner with a group of elders and although he had to use his cane and moved quite slow, he was certainly quick witted. And he was always positive; a rarity among so many elders. “I’m so lucky!” was his favorite phrase. Why do you say that, Byron? “I’ve got so many friends!” was his answer. Well, his friends miss him this morning.
