Cancer Sucks

With many Texans tonight, I am sad to hear the news of the death of Ann Richards .

While I didn't vote for Ms. Richards, we are definately poorer tonight for her passing. She died of esophageal cancer. She was diagnosed back in March. All reports are that she was quite active up until the cancer.

If you've been reading this blog for a while, you know that I lost my own Mom to Pancreatic Cancer two years ago. It just hits me in the gut to be reminded how this horrible disease can take a vital energetic, beloved person and take them apart day by day.

My heart hurts for Ms. Richards family tonight. I know very well what it is to lose someone so precious.
