Glad you are keeping your clear-eyed sense of humor - you are doing what you need to do… and if that changes for you, you will make that call. I have gratitude that you are posting & allowing us (your readers)to have some insight into the choices you are making, to converse, offer some thoughts and have the time to say goodbye - it is a generous gift.Hope my offering of images isn't too intrusive — sometimes they work better for me than words… I try not to be too maudlin.You are doing the Sinatra thing - "your way" -  as Norm did - kinda cliche, but still true.

Godspeed friend. You created a beautiful life. You will be remembered.

More a dirty fight when your opponent has an unfair advantage. I don’t think my comments are getting through but I wish you strength and courage for the road ahead, John. Praying for a miracle.

Battle! Yes! I'm glad to hear you voice this.

Here's a story about a longhorn headed to slaughter, who is now in a sanctuary. Food for thought, eh? Plus thoughts of Ben and Benita.
