Happy Halloween!

Lots and lots of love to you on your special day.

Feel better love



Craig's second surgery went well. He had more tissue and skin removed, spent a few days in the hospital and is at home resting. He will hopefully return to work in a few weeks. We are waiting to hear from pathology if the results came back cancer-free. We hope that next week brings a celebration of good news and it will be the beginning of remission.

We would like to thank everyone for their love and support.

Cherish the moments that otherwise slip through the cracks of time unnoticed.

Cultivate gratitude in good times and in bad.

Be patient with all beings.
