We're all Just Passing Time...

Pancreatic cancer doesn't play favorites...

Men, Women... Too Young, Hardly Old Enough... Mothers, Fathers... Neighbors, Celebrities...

I have yet to meet a cancer warrior who hasn't fought with everything they had.

Our personal story with this cancer beast has forever changed our lives, and has left us fighting still, seeking treatments, encouragement, hope and most of all a cure  ...

We celebrate each victory and weep with each loss.

Today, pancreatic cancer stole another from our midst and hearts grieve...


1940-2017

Known best, in our circles, for his role as Mr. Ollivander in the Harry Potter series, he was a prolific and well-known actor.

Diagnosed with early stage pancreatic cancer in June 2015, he battled hard, but the cancer battled harder... there is an ache for the family he leaves behind... for a wife, for 2 sons... his legacy will live on, but they will surely miss his presence with a fierceness that can wreck a heart.

Early on in his cancer journey, he was interviewed by Radio Times and shared some truth...

"I can't say I worry about mortality, but it's impossible to get to my age and not have a little contemplation of it.  We're all just passing time and occupy our chair very briefly."

Honoring a life, lifting a prayer, offering gratitude for this brief time we are given... Life is such a gift, determining not to squander even one moment...

Praying Grace over your days, Hope for the battles, and Peace to see the time passing before it's too late.

My Love, Always,
