Have barely been posting
but love so many friends on here and am going through probably the hardest thing I’m going to face
My Mom found out she has cancer last week
advanced, in her liver, stomach and was assigned to hospice
my friend had to call me in Greece and tell me the horrible news
first few days, utter shock and jet lag
now, have not gone to work at all and staying at home 24/7 with her and she is quickly making her transition
but in her eyes, not fast enough. Some of you know her- lover of her flower and veggie garden, any animal on the planet and most of all - my best friend. Being an only child and my dad long gone
this is really rough - trying to accept it, stay strong, keep the love overflowing around her
I really just want to see it like Ram Dass has described passing
its like you are taking off a tight shoe that doesn’t fit or leaving behind a broke down automobile that doesn’t run anymore
for a lighter existence
I love you guys, you know who you are ((((((peace)))))

I am very lucky to have known
I am very lucky to have known Betty. She was a good and accepting friend to me. I spent time with her with and without her daughter. Betty treated me like a friend and made me feel comfortable.
She shared her medical condition with me & her intentions. Spiritually she was prepared. Her only concerns were for her daughter.
We talked about our mortality & faith. We talked about our family that have passed before us & she shared her thoughts on what death must be.
She remained strong & I wept. My tears were those of a greedy-needy man who wanted to hold on to his friend.
Last night I attended Lavay Smith & THe Red Hot Skillet Lickers' Patsy Cline Tribute @ the SF Jazz Festival. The show was sold out and was @ The War Memorial's Herbst Theater. I was fortunate & had seats up front.
When Lavay came out we slipped her a note telling her that Betty passed that morning. She sang "Just A Closer Walk With Thee" & dedicated it to Betty Lavay's voice was accompanied by Chris on piano & organ, Bobby Black on pedal steel, & a tenor sax, a clarinette, a trumpet, 2 trombones, an upright bass, & drums. A more beautiful rendition I have not heard.
Betty was with me in the room. Her kind smiling face looked down on me & comforted me as I listened, thought, & wept.
She was an intelligent woman who was not afraid or ashamed to share her affection.
After the show I met with Lavay & she also comforted me. She knew that I had a true friend who understood the meaning of love. I am to meet with Lavay & Chris tomorrow & she said she will try to get me copy of the dedication & song so I can share it with her daughter.
