65, clear skies and
and the space station in the sky overhead.....pretty awesome! Amazing to think about...and wish I could be up there too....

Long, rough, emotionally draining day.....my best girlfriend's husband passed away tuesday after a long illness...diabetes complicated by cancer. He's been sick for 6 years, blind, with virtually no quality of life these past 2 years or so. So. on one hand, he's at peace, no longer hurting etc. His final hours were miserable, pain wracked and truely awful. My girlfriend is torn between knowing he no longer hurts and being glad that part is over and then feeling guilty she feels that way.

The funeral was nice, he was accorded full military honors with a 21 gun salute. I was fine, except for when she lost it and then i did too. Sigh. I think i was crying more for her....I ache for her......
