Today, August 17th, would have been my partner Bill's and my 36th anniversary. Three years ago, he was diagnosed with stage four pancreatic cancer on August 7th, 2009 and died two weeks later. I've written a book "August Farewell" about our palliative care story and about 33-year-long relationship. If you're interested, you can watch the 2min YouTube book trailer at http://bit.ly/jZrEbf
Best wishes to you all, David

Comment by Cristina on August 17, 2012 at 6:54pm David, Wishing you a day of love and Light as you commemorate and honor your beloved Bill. It is clear from the link how much you and he shared and cherished your life together. I am wishing you peace today, and all days. How truly impressive that you were able to put into words some of you and Bill's experience of that last difficult yet sacred time. I know so well the need to not allow things to drift out of memory, the needing to remember. We do what we can to hold on to them still, as they will forever be in our hearts, blessing us with memories. And somehow still, going through our days with us.
