Frances here – Barb’s wife. It’s as if writing makes it real, so I don’t want to do this.

Barb passed away last night. She was at home, in bed, where she had wanted it to end.

This blog became a bit part of her life – she loved sharing her thoughts and I loved reading them along with all of you.

For those of you who would like to stay connected, I plan to post some of Barb’s short stories in coming weeks. Take care and thanks for reading.

Barb loved the Tao Te Ching – so I will leave you with this quote from Lao Tzu:

To live till you die

is to live long enough
