I don't know why, but I have this yearning to tell you here: My husband died Friday night

[mnhtnbb]

216. I am so sorry for your loss, OKNancy.

A friend died from esophageal cancer almost three years ago. He was a wonderfully kind soul, the type of person
who brought people together. Made music. Ran a farm with a music building on it where concerts were hosted.
He hadn't been retired from his day job as a social worker 3 months when they discovered the cancer.

There is no rhyme or reason to why so many of these good people are struck down by horrible disease--and then
screwed over by the messed up "health care" system in this country--and horrible, awful, scum bags walk
around until they're 90 something whatever. It just isn't fair.

Please take care of yourself. As others have said, there is always someone here at DU to listen.

That's a lovely picture of your husband.
