life is short, but sweet for certain

Good morning! Day two of blogging... here.we.go.

Today is bittersweet. My "theme" for this day is to realize how precious life is and that we should not take a moment for granted... I would like all my blog friends to take a moment of silence to reflect on this and try to gear your actions for the day accordingly. (this is something I struggle with daily) 

I'm thinking of Sean's grandfather who sadly lost his battle with cancer on Sunday.  Today is his funeral in the town of Schenectady, NY.  This is his grandfather's first home in the USA, having come over from Crete, Greece.  At 11 AM his life will be honored by all those who loved and cared about him. I feel fortunate to have met him... Such a kind man. Makes me miss my wonderful Grammy so much.

I just got a message from Sean saying that they are getting ready to have brunch at his grandfather's restaurant that he started more than 50 years ago. Amazing.

To Nick, may you rest in peace....
