I rest my case.
Well, I'm in shock. Mr. Prairie came home from work and relayed very tragic news that the wife of a business acquaintance of ours passed away from cancer in February after being diagnosed about 18 months earlier.
Actually, the man is one of several that Mr. Prairie has mentored over the years. We'd sort of lost touch with these folks over the past few years. They are my age, she was possibly a bit younger. They have two kids, one in high school and the other jr. high.
Please say a prayer for Steve and the kids. He was luckily able to change his role at his company to eliminate the demanding traveling of his other position. This must just be awful for them.
