Tim Lukaszewski
January 4, 1948 - May 4, 2019
It's been a year now.
So many memories.
I think about what I'd say to him today. What would he say to me about my life without him? What would he say about the state of our world?

It's been almost 6 months since Tim died. I'm doing well, my cancer is still in remission and I'm amazingly busy. Sometimes, it seems like time has stopped. At other times, the days, weeks and months just speed by.
For those of you who were able to attend Tim's Celebration of Life, thank you for being there and for . . .
