Lauri,

So sorry to hear about this and can't imagine the horrible position you have been placed in to make the diagnosis. All one can wish in these cases is that the person has not suffered much and passes on borne by the love of those who could call him/her family and friend.

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry, but by demonstrating that all peoples cry, laugh, eat, worry, and die, it can introduce the idea that if we try and understand each other, we may even become friends ~~M. Angelou~~
