Though we have never met, thank you for revealing to me a little bit of how to live when fate shows us what we all know, but not when. People of faith are comforted that you are going on ahead of us, and we'll be along to join you.
I pray that your remaining time on Earth will be as pain free as possible. May God's will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. I'm not an eloquent man, but your courage and faith are inspirational to the rest of us who will one day face the same journey.

Your body may be at nearly the end of the line but not your memory and most importantly your soul and spirit will never pass away.
God Bless You!

God Bless You!

Sir, we will all miss you very much and I will definitely miss reading your posts. I pray that these days spent with your family will be as happy as possible. Hospice people will not only help you but will be a blessing to your family. I know.
I ask that you to talk freely to your family as it will make it easier for them to express their feelings to you. People sometimes, in this situation, do not empty their heart and say the things that they feel and then regret it the rest of their lives. My wife and I talked but there are so many things that I wish that I had said.
I pray that God takes you in his arms and welcomes you to a much better place. I also pray for your wife and family and wish them well on the journey that they face. May God Bless all of you!

Very sorry to hear this news. Prayers for you and your family.
Loknload, I was torn about leaving a "like" on your post, because I didn't "like" what you had to say, but I sure do admire how you said it and the grace and courage it took at this point in your journey to remember us and write that.
Graydon (ancient one) left a pearl of wisdom above that jumped out at me: "I ask that you to talk freely to your family as it will make it easier for them to express their feelings to you. People sometimes, in this situation, do not empty their heart and say the things that they feel and then regret it the rest of their lives."
I've been there and done that several times, and sometimes cry myself to sleep thinking about it, because I didn't.
May God bless all of you, and give you peace.

We are all right behind you on your 6. I have been to a lot of funerals in the last 12 months of lifelong friends. Your style of humor and attitude meant a lot to all the families. One final duty to show the family that death is natural and ok when it is time. I hope you enjoy every minute. Peace be with you and your loved ones.

Thanks for your contributions.
Thanks for your contributions.
I feel inadequate.
LokNLoad, and others, who face the end of their mortal life so courageously, have posted HERE and allowed me to read and share their wisdom.
I am truly in the presence of magi.

I am right behind you at 70+. This last year has been hard=about 2-3 months total in ICU. Going downhill but fighting it!
A Master Freemason I met while an Entered Apprentice has given me inspiration. I asked him how he was doing when I met him and he answered "Good! I am dying." I asked him what he meant and he answered "I have Stage IV liver cancer== I just returned from a world voyage with my wife. Her, my kids, and I have made peace with it and with my Maker. I believe I have done more good than bad in my life."
Six months later, I attended my first Masonic funeral as a Master Mason myself. I have made peace with my Maker and have discussed bequests with my wife and daughter. I'd like more time, of course.

Vaya con Dios!"
