frnash, You are right. Many thoughts and prayers for John and his family today. You can feel it and as every one of the good people on here has become somewhat of a family it really makes you think about the things that are important in life. (Your having gone through what you have health-wise probably brought about those same feelings.) John has made that so clear in his journals, photographs and way of living through the years. If someone has been through what he has throughout his life and can still have the outlook he has, well, he's just a real special man. Some would become bitter. Not John, he continues to choose to LIVE in every sense of the word. To experience life's best. To live out his dreams with joy and purpose. Special thing John started here on this website and how fortunate we all are to know about it and to be a part of it.
