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
