Goodbye to a dear friend

When I travel, for the most part, I don't really miss home. But today, I miss home. Today, I learned that a friend, colleague and mentor has lost a very long and voracious battle with cancer. I deeply regret that I won't be able to say a final goodbye to Robin and lend what meager support I can to her family. For now, this is my only forum for sharing my sadness with those of you who knew and loved her. The world had lost a beautiful light, and while still a wonderous place, it shines less brightly tonight.
