Really miss you, not many a day passes that I don't use something you taught me. Still use the clipboard you gave me :) Thanks again friend, we'll see you on the other side ;) Love you Bev, hope you absorb the entire world on your travels.

Yes, Don was very special to me and I feel very lucky to have spent so many years with him. I'm sorry that we didn't get to finish our lives together, but Sabrina and I carry on. Crow - I have wondered where you have been this last year or so -- just a few weeks ago, I was thinking about you and wondering why you never seemed to visit and leave comments anymore. I'm very sorry to read that you lost your mother to pancreatic cancer and also to think of all you must have been through. It's such a difficult experience - caring for someone you love deeply through end stage cancer, or any terminal illness for that matter. As a caregiver, I have found the past year to be sad and lonely even during the last few months while Don was alive. Caregivers have to shoulder a lot of pain, usually while trying to make the very best of things for the people we love. I'm glad that you did find this post and leave a comment, and hope that you are beginning to find some peace and healing now. Take care. bev Thanks again for the comments everyone.

It was grueling and terrible work, and I had been pretty wiped out from it. I still haven't recovered. But when I came back and realized you were travelling Arizona on your own, I had to find out why. I am so sorry and my heart goes out to you. The deep love of the natural world you shared surely will sustain you, is sustaining you. Your post has reinspired me as well, knowing my mother would want me to be living more fully than I have been, and with less bitterness and fear. Thank you for sharing this; I regard it as a very deep gift. May you find many hikes that bring you close to Don's spirit; and may you two meet again someday.

And what great pictures. You can always spot a dedicated hiker and I can tell he loved the outdoors as well as the person behind the camera. I am so sorry for your loss. Keep your good memories and know you are so blessed to have had him. Khari Bev,

What a beautiful tribute to your husband. And what great pictures. You can always spot a dedicated hiker and I can tell he loved the outdoors as well as the person behind the camera.

I am so sorry for your loss. Keep your good memories and know you are so blessed to have had him.
