A Manx2 plane has crashed in Cork...several people have died... :\\\'( hope none of the pilots we know was flying it...or that anyone that we know was on board.

I'm so sorry for people who are struggling with difficulties at the moment.  And I'm sorry I haven't been here to offer sympathy to people.  We've had our own bad news nearly two weeks ago now and I have been distracted and not giving others sympathy. 

My dad has esophogeal cancer.  It has spread to his liver and yesterday he had to have a stint put in his throat so he can swallow food.  It's an aggressive cancer and most people do not live a year after being diagnosed.  My dad has been given a year to live.  It's hard and we are trying to decide what to do right now.  I always liked living here, but right now, I hate it.  I want to be near my family. 

Apologies for moaning.  I know lots of other people are having hard times too.

Big hugs as ever, S.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in...

So sorry, Persephone.  One of the hardest life milestones, I think.  Strength and hugs to you.
"Don't ask what the world needs.  Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.  Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

So sorry, Persephone.  I can only imagine how upsetting it must be.
