Dear Mimi and Don,

I have been struggling to put into words of what I wish to convey. It is a time of much sadness and sorrow to know that you do not have much time left. Leaves everyone with a heavy heart.

Then it occurred to me that the finite time left should be best spent on things to make both of you happy and to forget what lies ahead. simple pleasures of life. Go see the whales, go to the Lavender festival or a field and enjoy the refreshing scent and the view, go see the sunset together. Sometimes, the simple things in life, right in our backyard, are the best of things.

My wishes and prayer is for Don to have as many good days as possible.

Sincerely and peace be with you and Don,

Shawn
