Saying Goodbye

I started kiln firing glass in 2010/2011 when I was on Taxotere, a chemotherapy for metastatic breast cancer, which was awful stuff.  Now, at the end of 2013 the kilns will get removed tomorrow along with  the molds, shelf paper, glass paint my cutting system and anything I run across that will be used by either Carla Koehler or Susan Briggs Huffman.  It is like saying goodbye to the perfect lover.  The cancer is getting the best of my energy, and I feel listless and unable to create,knowing that I will be leaving for parts unknown into assisted living.  That's life for some.  Maybe I can buy a small kiln once I get there and teach warm glass fusing for a while.  No stained glass either.  So, this is farewell for now.  Thanks for staying with me for a few good years.
