I have to admit, I’m not a big fan of blogs. However, there have been a couple of situations when I have found myself waiting for the next piece of news; a dear friend’s fight with cancer, which finally led him home, or the tragic accident of a young man who daily struggles to relearn things that used to come so easy to him. I guess blogs do have there place in the world after all.
