Well, today is less than 4 months since a friend of the last 2 or 3 decades was diagnosed with cancer. Today she passed away — the first of our larger ‘Brunch Group’. She was a few days short of her 71st birthday. We’re all of that kind of age I guess. Sad news. Haere rā Helen.

@Miraz sorry to hear this. Condolences.

@rom Thanks. We weren’t close but have associated heaps over the years, one way and another.

@Miraz I’m sorry for your loss. 💐

@Miraz Sorry to hear this 😔

@Cheri Thanks. She’s the first of our larger group of friends, and it’s partly an age thing — we’re all of an age and now the friend / acquaintance circle starts to contract by attrition.

@Burk Thank you.

@Miraz Sending you my condolences. My dear 98 year old mother-in-law passed away just over two weeks ago. I haven’t shared that here on micro.blog, but the feeling of loss feels strong right now.

@crossingthethreshold Oh, I’m sorry for your loss. What a fine age to achieve!

@Miraz So sorry to hear that, Miraz. Condolences 💐

@strandlines Thanks.

@Miraz I’m sorry for your loss. 70 is no age anymore. Hate isn’t good, but I cannot help hating cancer.

@odd @maique Thank you. Yes, I’m 65 and think 70 is still very young!

@Miraz My condolences 😔
