    Thanks to each of you for these beautiful and moving messages. I'm sitting in bed beside John and just finished reading each of them to him. Our faithful dog is curled at the foot of the bed. It makes us feel so good to receive the support from all of you who really understand what we are going through. I'm full of gratitude.

    I'll be in touch as things unfold.

    we love you guys- and pray
    we love you guys- and pray for peaceful time ahead for both of you.

    Prayers for peace for you both
    Dear Adrian and John,

    The love and caring you have for each other shows through in all you write. I pray that it will also sustain you as you travel through this most difficult time.

    How true that we postpone dealing with issues related to death. Talking about it, doing things related to it, doesn't hasten it. It only allows those left behind to have fewer decisions to make at a difficult time. It also means those decisions don't have to be made alone.

    May you each have peace in the time you have together. My faith tells me that you will be together again.

    Hugs to you both,

    Marie who loves kitties

    thank you for the update
    We all think of you and John often. We know it's been a very difficult journey for you both, but the way you handle it with grace and optimism has always been inspiring. The way you are able to see the beauty in your days, even through veils of pain is just awesome! I follow your caring bridge site and am encouraged often by the simple beauty in your lives. I pray for peace and comfort in the days ahead, and that John be comfortable. Your love for each other is inspiring to all who know you and a testament to the fact that love transcends all.

    glad to hear, but sorry
    Hi Adrian,

    Just yesterday I was thinking of posting the question asking if anyone had heard from you and John and was going to actually do so today, so I was glad to see your post. Very sorry about the situation at hand, though, and how John's body is shutting down.
    How long has it actually been since John's diagnosis?
    I would be like you- would be discussing things openly with my husband and family that near the end. I'm surprised that the mortician was surprised- I guess that must mean most people don't discuss things such as death openly.

    I'm sorry you're having to go through all this- do take care and please do keep in touch.

    Hugs,
    Lisa

    Fare well John
    May your passing be peaceful and painless. Rest comfortably knowing that you will be missed and that you have inspired many. I admire your honesty and courage. Had we been neighbors I know we would have been good friends even though you would have envied my garden. Go easy friend.

    Adrian, may you find the strength and courage to endure John's passing.

    My heart breaks....
    Dear Adrian and John,

    My heart breaks for you two as I sit here and type this note in response to Adrian's post. I sit here wondering why this cancer is so damned stubborn, why can't it be a "one and done"....diagnosis, treatment...CURE, why bad things happen to good people. Of course, I have no answers and that hurts all the more.

    I pray for peace for the both of you. I pray that you have both lived, loved, laughed and pressed on in spite of the challenges that cancer bring.

    John and Adrian, how brave you both are to face impending death so fearlessly and lovingly. I admire your courage. I'm sending heartfelt hugs your way on this day.

    Keep your heart up!

    Dee
