Ivan Rene Cavazos Herrera 8/30/1953-8/29/2025
This will be my last post for a couple of weeks. As I said, I need a little down time to stock up on blog posts, and get deeper into the keto lifestyle, all the while mourning my best friend. (Remember, please, that the bulk of this particular post was typed on the 20th, 9 days before Ivan left me. I am leaving most of it as it was written, and will write a post dedicated to him during my time off, to be posted when I return.)
I believe I mentioned, recently, that I found a keto specialist, Dr. Eric Berg who has completely captivated me. I just wish I would have found him years ago when I had first started, and failed miserably on Keto diet.
Today, however, I am sitting at my dining room table, typing this last post, listening to the first book in the Harry Potter series, and smiling like a Bedlamite.
The imagination of J.K.Rowlings has always amazed me, from the first time I opened this very same book, 28 years ago, to this very moment. Her mind is similar, in my mind to those of J.R.R.Tolkein, and J.R.R. Martin. Hah, and they all start with J, and have R’s in them as well.
Anyway, as I am undertaking the wheat, rice, and sugar removal from my diet, praying to return a healthy gut flora, I am going to relax, and enjoy the muggles, Diagon Alley, and the infamous Professor Albus Dumbledore.
Until next time, sometime in September, stay happy, healthy, and safe in the Lord.
Post script: a very happy 72nd birthday tomorrow to my best friend in the whole world. I pray we have many more birthdays to come.
Post post script: little did I know last week when I was typing this that by the time it was posted my best friend in the whole world would have left me. Ivan passed away peacefully, here in our apartment, this morning at 4:00am, 8/29/25, 1 day before his 72nd birthday. My heart is in shreds, and my brain is in a fog. Please, remember him with the respect he deserves, regardless of what you may have thought about him. I will have a devotional post after I come back with interesting things to share with you that none of you ever knew, or saw. He was a man of integrity, and worth. I told him so often. I have no more words right now. Here he is, with me until I’m dead.
Rest in perfect peace mi amor. You deserve it more than most. I’ll be with you someday, so save me a seat. Tu Querida.
Oh Diana, I am so very sorry to learn of Ivan’s passing, and the grief you are knowing. So difficult to lose your best friend and lover. You are a strong woman, and I know you will prevail, but it will not be an easy thing. Hope it helps knowing people care and are praying for you.
