Adrian is gone...



I've been tracking the blog from a fellow in England, Adrian Sudbury, who was diagnosed with 2 different types of Leukemia. Which is very, very rare for something like that to happen. He is an amazing guy at the young age of 26 who has brought so much awareness, understanding, courage, happiness and hope to many people all over the world. I had been checking these last few days knowing that it was only time for him to go home. He died last night with his mother and father by his side. If you think your day is bad, like I do myself sometimes, just go and read about this truly phenomenal young guy, and all that he has done, it's very humbling.




For I am a person who lost my Papa (grandpa) last year to Cancer, an aunt with a very rare lung disease when she was only 42 and other people close to me. I know how important it is for all of us to understand how important having support is and being informed. My friends 18 year old son tragically died Aug. 4Th, the family was devastated. He was swimming and did a flip into the water and landed on his back and broke his neck. When the family saw he did not come up from the water 12 men jumped in the water and a stranger pulled him out. His father and two other men performed CPR on him and got a pulse but it was too late he was brain dead and there was nothing that anyone could do. Since he was 18, he was very healthy, his family gave the gift of life and saved 7, that I know of, other peoples lives with donated organs from "Papo" (Nelson Torres)




So, go donate some blood and get on the national registry, who knows...you could just save someones life!

Trip Trip Trip

I'm waiting on my passport. Which makes me worry when I sent off the paperwork for it the lady told me that they had been taking several months and well I plan to leave Oct. 15th I pray to god I have it before then. Actually, I need to have it before I buy my ticket. I hope it just shows up in the mail tomorrow that would make me much much happier. One less thing to worry about. I'd hate to have to POSTPONE a couple more weeks just because of something else that is stupid. Especially, since Ste is nice enough to let me invade his lovely home I REALLY don't want to have to change the date...again. Plus GF is tired of waiting I'm sure. I hope all our planning just goes smoothly and that there are no more hiccups.

Waiting, waiting, waiting!! That's all I seem to be doing. I want definitive plans, NOW DAMNIT.

Im getting impatient aren't I?

SI, si, Siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!
