Song of the Open Road

"Mon enfant! I give you my hand!
I give you my love, more precious than money,
I give you myself, before preaching or law;
Will you give me yourself? will you come travel with me?
Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?"
~Walt Whitman, 1900

RIP Aunt Nancy, 1954-2010

I will try to update my blog later, but before I talk about any recent Oxford adventures, I want to extend my heartfelt sympathies to my Uncle Mike, cousins Patti and Danny, Aunt Patti, Uncle Michael, and to my mother. My Aunt Nancy passed away on Monday after a courageous 18 year battle with breast cancer. She was fifty-five. Although I did not get to spend much time with Aunt Nancy, I know that she was an incredible and strong woman. I am greatly saddened by my inability to attend her funeral, but after much research into plane tickets, it would be impossible for me to get there in time. I will certainly be keeping the family in my thoughts over the next few weeks. Aunt Nancy, you will be missed! Her obituary: http://data.tennessean.com/obits/DNJ/index.php?m=dtl&pro=DNJ0101322035-01

    So sorry about the loss of this lovely lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I know that it is hard for you to be so far away at this time. I enjoy reading your posts and it seems like you are making the absolute most of this wonderful opportunity. Can't wait to hear all the details when you get back to the 'Burg! Take care!
