Have you every squished something between two pieces of glass in order to view it through a microscope? It’s amazing to watch the substance spread out thin so you can see right through it.

This morning I received the very sad news of a college friend’s death. She had been battling cancer, and left behind her husband and two teen sons. How tragic!
