My wishes are with you.

My family, hillbillies that they are, won't miss a wake, not even their own. Bring your family together, no shame in telling them you love them, each and everyone all. we are but the sum of our experience, we each have a string that is only so long. The Maker Himself set it up like this, His plan.

May the wake you leave behind remind those near and dear to you that you sailed these waters. God Bless.

Ballzzz · 6 May 2023, 02:04 AM

Sorry man, prayers for you and your family. As you understand the end is a guarntee just make sure your last memories for both you and your loved ones are the ones you wished for. Don't let the cancer dictate those memories - keep your head high and may God Bless you and your family in these difficult times!

I like quotes so I will leave you with this one.

“Bad things happen. How I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have: life itself.”

Speechless here, I am so sorry to read this Dave. Always enjoyed your posts and your humility. I will pray for you and your family to have strength as you struggle through this. Most important is for you not to suffer.

Vivalas · 6 May 2023, 03:11 AM

Dave just like everyone else, words fail me. Reading this saddens me beyond belief.

You are a very brave man Dave and I wish you and all your family strength at this time. I hope this forum continues to give you enjoyment and please know that there’s clearly a lot of support for you right here.

Boothroyd · 6 May 2023, 03:35 AM

Dave, so very sorry to hear this, and I have to echo Paul's words : "I can’t think of any words Dave, except that I hope you find a pain free peace".

You are one of my favorites on TRF for your level-headed comments and views. The very best to you and your family during this ordeal. Strength and Peace, sir.

Griswald · 6 May 2023, 03:48 AM

Dave,
Thank you for sharing. So sorry to hear. I read through both threads. Your perspective and strength is inspirational. It will help me, when things come my way. They will return again during my journey.

I trust you will have as little pain as possible. I imagine you all have made lots of wonderful memories, for them to hold on to.

I’ve usually been OK with the situations I’m in. But it is hard to see it impact our loved ones. Bless You and Yours.
