Thanks, Alffe, what a lovely girl. Ironically, the second I saw the first few pics, I knew precisely where they were taken. I've had mine taken there many times.

I've also lost two friends to this and saw it too closely for comfort. Ironically, one was my friend, Judi, I had known her 10 years before my own dx, and it was then another 10 until hers. She's already gone.

Ruth was 42, she went awfully fast.

I'm going downhill very quickly now and am in a reckless abandon mode to do everything I ever imagined as fast as I possibly can. It's hard to think about it, and I often wonder if "this" time will be the "last" time. I am determined and committed to grabbing every ounce of life that I can.

I sincerely hope that I am completely wrong.
