I liked Your post because of Your attitude towards the inevitable. Hate that it is happening so young. May God go with You and watch over Your loved ones.

It's been a pleasure knowing you on this site, and for those of us dealing with cancer, your courage in the face of death is a true inspiration. May your passing be peaceful and painless, surrounded with loving family and friends. We will miss you.

I "liked" your post, LokNLoad, but the meaning is that I profoundly admire your grit, wisdom and ability to inspire others in the face of great personal challenge.
Prayers and blessings to you and your loved ones.

After reading the opening post I have tears in my eyes. Guess it’s the way you said everything and the situation. Sunday I will say some prayers that everyone around you and yourself finds peace and the ones that love you heal. I can’t imagine it but I guess some day we will all be in the same situation. Hope I didn’t say anything wrong here, guess reality hit me because we are older. Glad we shared this forum through the years where we had fun and made friends. Larry
I was a Baltimore firefighter for 30 years, and encountered more situations than I can recall when folks left this world in terrible circumstances, often violently and alone, with no time to prepare, or make peace with estranged loved ones, or to say goodbye.
We all pass on eventually, and there is something to be said for knowing one's days are numbered, and for being able to exit peacefully and gracefully.
To all,,, I want you to know I have enjoyed reading this and I’m overwhelmed by all of your gracious caring posts. With that being said I must say I really appreciate it.
I have not forgotten and will not forget what is written here.
I did leave the hospital late yesterday afternoon and I have been both tired and busy. Seeing people such as Hospice givers and social workers from the hospital. Thank you to my very dear wife!
But the most important thing is that I am reading each one of these posts and they all do mean a lot! All the time I have spent here if I have tagged your post, I have always read it. After all this is why I came here,,,to learn something and hopefully to share something. This place is the best!
Thank you to the Owner and Mods here for running a class operation.
Over my time I served as a Volunteer Firefighter,,,20 years.
Anyway as of recent and since my first bout with this dirty disease I became a member to our local Firefighters Museum.
One night I couldn’t sleep,so this is what an old firefighter does...
I designed a business card to help me collect artifacts for the Museum...
For now tonight I will leave you with my words....

I wish you all the best.
It’s kind of awkward to read, but I appreciate your attitude. If ever I find myself in your shoes, I hope I could handle it with the same courage and dignity. Godspeed
It was both hard and easy to like your OP, hard because of the outcome awaiting but easy because of your attitude to the inevitable end we all end up going to. A positive no regrets view of your life and sounds like it has been a wonderful one worth living and enjoy with loved ones around you. My best wishes for your future in that it is peaceful, painless and going to a better place and reward for your time on Earth and all the best for those around you who love and care about.
As a brother firefighter I pray for you. Cancer is the curse of firefighters as too many of us know. Peace my brother.
I just found this post (been out of town and away from the internet)........it's with great sadness that I read this. Words are hard to find.
I want you to know that you and your family are in my prayers. I'm hoping each of your remaining days are filled with peace and you live each of those remaining days to their fullest. God Bless and be with you.

Darn dust got in my eyes again.
You. Sir, are an example to follow. I can only hope to be as gracious and brave as you are when my time arrives to meet the ineluctable.

I just came across this thread today, and am fighting back tears as I type.
There is nothing I can add to what has already been said except that I have enjoyed and learned from your post over the years, and it saddens me that we will be robbed of your personality and knowledge.
God be with you on the last leg of "this PORTION" of your journey, and may he comfort your family and friends.
May I be as courageous when I reach the same, inevitable time in my life!

My our Maker's Blessings be upon you and your family. YOU area couragous man.
Craig, I want to share this with you.
When our friend Mike (shouldazagged) was under hospice care he said during a phone call: "I had no idea that this morphine stuff was go good...I better be careful as they say it's habit forming."
BTW I liked your "smolder" touch on your business card.
Post when you feel up to it, amigo.
