Hey gang,

Thought I would give you a quick update. I am settled in comfortably in the first floor condo. I am on hospice care and have been taking far fewer pills and infusions. I haven't eaten real food in weeks and am pencil thin. I prolly won't make it through the month, but am happy and content. Luckily there's no pain for me. I throw up a lot of bile, but it's manageable. My family has dropped everything and this little condo is always chock full of people. I have been seeing some friends to say goodbye. It makes me tired but is worthwhile.

I send love and warm thoughts to you all. I am ok and wish you all the best and strength to each of you in your fight.

Love,

Ray

    Too often we go without getting the opportunity to say goodbye to those we love. Many often are placed in hospitals which is never a pleasant experience. I'm glad that you have your loved ones with you.
    May you be at peace...

    thank you
    Thank you Ray for your message. And much as it saddens me to hear you're ready to go, it also makes me relieved that you don't have bad pains, and that you've got the chance to say goodbye to friends and family. It is very very important for both you, and for those, who you are leaving behind. Please know, we'll be with you and you'll be always with us. As I go, "only those die that we forget"....we won't forget you!
    Please take care, and wishing you either a quick journey without suffering, or some miracle to show up and say "you're not going anywhere, buddy!" :)
