Joys and sorrows...

Well, miss Alice the big nose does not seem to stress for either joys or sorrows... For me, it has been a controversial day: first I got my brother's family safely over from OH, which is so great... But after that I got an email from a dear friend in TX telling me that her husband's (also dear friend) stomach cancer has suddenly spread to his spine and brain. No need to say that this sounds very very bad... I have already lost three close friends (all under 50) to cancer... And definitely don't wish that to happen to anyone!. Keeping him and the whole dear family in my thoughts and prayers, hoping for the best
