That’s a great line from “True Romance”. It captures the essence of my whole weekend, and while I’d love to be brilliant & write all kinds of things and tell you all the stories, I’m wiped out.

We had a wonderful visit. Many tears were shed, many smiles, many long lingering hugs. It is a blessing and a curse, you know, to be told you have terminal cancer. It means you’re going to die (time: unknown) and it means you have time (unknown), to cherish every moment and put your life in a little bit of order.

So, I give you the excerpt from one of my father’s most favorite movies. Pretty much sums it all up.<\/p>\n
