Ive often wondered what became of you and him. Havent seen a post of yours or his for quite some time. Hope you are doing well. Two years ago in May the Dr's gave me five weeks to live. But the good Lord was not ready for me yet. Last week they stuck a scope down and took a look and told me Im cancer free. I do believe in prayer.

I am so glad you have been granted such a wonderful reprieve, Hal!
Ian had people praying for him,too, and the benefit of the best treatment around...but he had multiple cancers simultaneously....I suspect for a LOT longer than he would admit, honestly.
He no longer struggles with health issues, and, I believe, he has been reunited with his beloved daughter who was taken from this life while still a young child....their spirits joyfully together in what lies beyond.
It brings me comfort thinking this way....
It's wonderful to see you here again :)

Honestly...as each day passes...I am struck even more by just how much he meant to me.

My condolences for your loss. The lessons have been well learned. These portraits are fantastic. It helps to have cooperative models. You have a wonderful command of your camera. Continued good luck as you go forward.

Theresa, I'm soooo sorry for your loss! Ian PMed me quite awhile ago that he was dying of cancer. I'll miss him and his outstanding photography! I remember, when Ian was talking about you, his saying how he couldn't resist your beautiful, blue eyes! :) I'll remember him always! Hope you'll be posting again, Theresa! I've missed you!

I remember you both. Thank you so much, Tilde, for sharing the sad news of Ian's passing. All my sympathy to you and his family. You have beautiful grandchildren, and it's so good that you could share them with him.

I've been here for only a couple months, so I don't know either one of you, but it's obvious that Ian taught you well, and you learned equally well. Your grand children portraits are simply superb...

Thanks for sharing a special time with a special person. We need more of these kinds of relationships especially in our world today with all the lack of caring and kindness. Thanks again and may your friend RIP.

So sorry force our loss. I enjoyed his company and regret not ever meeting him. Nice to see you back on the hog.. your portraits look great. You have improved greatly in your photography. Love your avatar.

Theresa, I just caught this post tonight and altho' I'm thrilled that you'll be actively participating again on the Hog, I am saddened for your loss as well as the loss for all of us who remember Ian. He was generous and kind with his critiques and thoughts, always an encourager. And his photography was exemplary. He seemed to have an interesting life, was well traveled, enjoyed sharing those stories. You both have been missed, welcome back to you.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Tilde. A good friend is a true asset to one's life and to lose one must be devastating. May Ian rest in eternal peace.
