Terrible News

Terrible News

The love of my life and soul mate for the past 29 years, Bear Hampton, has suddenly passed away.  I am feeling very broken and emotional right now, but I am surrounded by loving friends and family here in Hawaii.  Please understand if I do not reply to comments and messages here on the blog in my usual manner.  There are enough posts in the queue to keep things going until I am able to begin editing and posting again, so you should continue to see new posts.  

I started to post a photo of him here, but I don't want trolls to make nasty comments or download it.  If any of you who are close to me would like a photo of us together, please use the contact form or my email, and I will try to get  you one.  

Thank you for understanding - - -  Jerry

  6. I'm sending sympathy, best wishes, and love your way. When you lose someone you love, you need love from others to help you make it through a difficult time. So drink this love medicine straight from the bottle.
