The worst, most beautiful days

The past few days have been among some of the most beautiful I can ever remember. Breezy, cool, and crystal clear. At the same time they have been some of the worst days. My friend Barry has had a recurrence of melanoma and had to have some difficult surgery this week. I have known Barry for 33 years and he was very supportive and consoling to me during my health problems last year. I hate it that he has to face this and hope that I can be as supportive for him as he has been for me.

We set up a blog for Barry to keep people up to date on his progress. He has been posting on it regularly. That web address is http://barryw.blogspot.com.
