It is
with sadness that I begin this page, because it signals to us that life
is fragile. Readers of the site know that TemariKai.com was originally
dedicated in honor
of Sarah Robinson, who was waging her battle with lung cancer at the
time I designed the full site as you now see it. Sarah died of
complications of the disease shortly after TemariKai.com was launched,
and it was with a heavy heart that I changed the dedication from her
honor to her honor and memory.
Since
that time both the readership of
TemariKai.com as well as the membership of TalkTemari has grown
tremendously, and it is quite boggling as to how many people are among
our number that have been touched by cancer. Some of us have lost those
near and dear to us, others are courageously living with it. The
blessing is that somehow temari seems to bring to all a sense of peace,
and for that we give thanks.
Unfortunately we have this week lost
another member of TalkTemari to a battle with cancer, and that now
prompts me to create this page. Those on the list know how much we all
touch each other; let us daily honor and support those among us are
living while fighting and overcoming this illness, and remember those
that have lost their battles:
