I lost my father and my brother to that nasty version.
No one can tell me if its genetic so I try not to worry and enjoy everything I do. My thoughts are with you both.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Remember to make him smile and laugh.

Great contrast in your image, video or still? Either way great shot, keep your head up.

Sorry to hear that... I have lost a bunch of close people to the big C over the past few years, it sucks. I guess it is a perspective effect from getting older, but it seems to be striking a lot more these days...

Very sad report,Craig.
We've lost many to cancers as well.
I think everybody has.
Being there for them is the best thing any of us can do.
Just know that when the burden gets heavy, you can bring here. You have a lot of friends here to help.

Your moon shot is great! You really drew out a lot of detail in it.
Well Done!

You have to admit though, any shot of the Moon is going to be an old moon shot... ;) :lol:

Terrific clarity - no "focus or seeing" issues here! Great pic!!! Each time I see these Moon shots I get excited about getting out and trying some of my own.

I just read your post - and saw where your friend has pancreatic cancer. WOW! My prayers for your friend, family, and you - these are difficult hard to swallow times.

Thank you very much Phil. I can't believe all the people I am out living.
It really sucks when it's my best friend.
