We got some snow yesterday...woo hoo! Now it really feels like Christmas to me. I love the first snowfall. It's just magical. My baby boy Samson (seen in the last photo) thought the snow was kinda weird. LOL...he has not really seen snow before...such a Cali dog he was. But after awhile he warmed up to the idea (can one warm up to snow? hmmmmm).

Anyway today I have a heavy heart. A dear dear friend of mine is dying. Stage 4 brain cancer..he is 42. He found out in August. WTF??? They brought him home now...with hospice and morphine. He has days... He just got married in October. Fuck. He's a really good guy too...I mean really really good. A huge heart. I can only shake my head in disbelief. And I pray when he goes...it's peaceful. And I hope he becomes one of my angels...cuz he'd be a good one to have watching over me.
Another reminder folks...life is so short. And fleeting.
Go do something frivolous today!!!

I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. Hospice sees to it that people are allowed to go in peace when their time comes and they are very good at it. Sending a hug your way today.
I´m so sorry about your friend!
Wish you a wonderful week,
Hugs,
Yvonne
P.S. I love your winter-photos!!!
I'm so sorry to hear abut your friend C. It's NEVER easy losing someone you care about, but losing someone over the holidays seems 10x's worse. I pray for a peaceful passing....and we could all use extra angels. (HUGS)
Wow, what sad news. May your friend depart in peace and love and know at last the Truth of the Great Mystery.
Happy about your snow but sad about your friend. Kinda puts things in perspective.
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. May his last days be filled to overflowing with joy and laughter surrounded by the love of family and friends.
Give Cali and extra squeeze.
Life IS too short and 42 is much too soon to leave this life. But think of what your wonderful friend managed to do in his 42 short years and the love he was able to share. I hope he will be one of your angels and my heart and my thoughts are with you, your friend and his family. This is a very difficult time of year to be making that journey.
Lovely pictures. Sending you hugs as you deal with the illness of your friend. Praying love surrounds him and his family was he prepares for his journey from this earth.
the news of your friend is terribly sad and such a huge reminder to all of us.....
and ummm, i guess we got snow. probably as much as you did, but it felt like a dusting considering what the norm is for here at this time of year....honestly, i like being abnormal :)

What a roller coaster. I saw that first shot and was stunned! Almost looks like a painting! Love the muted tones with pops of red. And the mood you gave it is so very fitting. Great photos all. Then I reach the bottom and my heart sank. I'm sorry for the news of your friend. Saddened that a good man would have his life cut so very short. Sorrowed for all those hurting with and for him right now. Hard news. I will pray that he passes painlessly and peacefully. Truly sad. Hugs to you my dear.
Not operable, then? Holy hell, Caroline. I am so sorry. So very sorry.
On another note, your photos (as always) are lovely. I just adore the processing on the boots. And I actually love the first one with all the snow.
Damn! Just not right! I hope he lived a full life.
Love that first photo!
So sorry to hear about your friend. And you're right about living for this day, right here, right now. Love the pics of snow! xo
this is such sad news. i am so sorry. i am 41 and realizing more and more often that we really have no idea how much time (or how little time!) we have left. it is sobering.
hugs to you girl, and my heart goes out to his family.
