Not News I Wanted...Plans Have Changed In A Big Way

This is not a post I ever wanted make but have to before I lose to ability. I was driving and talking with brother today and my speech slurred. I immediately pulled over, hung up on him and dialed 911 ..Long story short, after a trip to the ER, I learned I have a pretty big lesion on my brain. The swelling is causing the symptoms. Hawaii is off the table. The doctor that my youngest daughter works for in SC is over the Hospice Foundation for SC so I have decided to go home with her this week and my oldest daughter is taking a leave of abscence. I didn't want to linger in this in life,  but I try trust life has a way of unfolding this as it should. I will surrounded my family which is a gift and comfort. I don't know if I have two weeks or two months but I don't think it be long. I want all of you here to reach for the love and light and do what you need to do to find peace on your journey ...Cancer SUCKS..no way around saying thought, lol( and a few other choice words under my breath) I can never express how much of a blessing and gift all of you have been to me. I am instructing my daughter to post here when I leave this life. Typing this little snip has been a struggle so I really don't think I have long before my ability to communicate will further deterioate. I would do nothing different if I had the chance to change my decision opting of not continuing conventional treatments. Life is a beautiful gift no matter what your own "scene" may  be at the moment. This all shall come to pass and the sun will come up in morning and birds will still be singing their songs. Get up and catch a sunrise every chance you can....I hope to be just over the rainbow is the distance praying and pulling for each of you to be living your best life ..."run with life like you stole it"  Much love always and biggest hug always and EVER....Mojo

    You will be missed...

    Oh Mojo, as I sit here with tears running down my face I have no way to express the sorrow that I feel.  I've been a fan of yours since the start of my journey on this forum. I am honoured that in some small way I got to "meet" you, and I will think of you often with a smile on my face. Your FU attitude was much appreciated. I hope you know that Heaven will be much more beautiful than Hawaii ever could be. Go with peace my friend.

    You go out with a Bang, my friend

    I am happy that you have experienced good times this past year. I am happy you had your trip to Hawaii. I am happy that you have your beautiful family beside you. I am happy to have called you friend.

    Now, I am crying because my heart does hurt for you, and especially your children who have already lost so much.  Not that they lose you, as such, because no matter what, you will always be with them. 

    Go in peace, my friend. Go and be with your lovely husband.  Why you shoud both be taken by this awful disease is a question none of us will ever get answered. 

    I wish you a peaceful end, in the arms of those you love and who love you. 

    HUGS!

    Awwww, my heart goes out to you and what you are going through right now, but I'm glad that you have your family with you at this time.  You have been through so much and you have always embraced whatever has come your way with much fortitude and grace.  You are in my thoughts and prayers for you going to your place of peace.  You are such a great asset and inspiration on this board.

    Just no

    I still cant believe what I read. I imagined you already getting a tan from Hawaian sun. It is not fair that you wont get it now. 

    I wish you a peaceful painless journey to the other side and I am sending prayers to you and your daughters.

    M, I don't know what to say,

    M, I don't know what to say, life does happen while we're making plans, but I'm sure this sudden turn feels cruel, it does to me from here. Pop had the same thing occur from his prostate cancer, and it was a brief period, with the pain managed and family around. I can only picture you as in the pix you shared, strong, determined, and in charge of your life in a way most never approach. I wish I had the words, and the chance to meet and hug you, and hear the voice that spoke so clearly about things that really matter. You know my thoughts on existence and meaning, but without ever knowing the man outside what you've shared, I still imagine Doyle filled with pride and love at the way you've met all this. I feel it here, from a long ways away. I wish you peace...............................................Dave
