Yesterday, April 11, 2017 was the day I was told all medical options for me have reached and end. We now move one stap closer to the actual end of my life.

I'm sad to know my end is close at hand but gratful I was blessed with almost 15 months of saying good bye to friends and family. It has made the transition a bit easier.

Your spirit and your fights are what make the human experience important all across the world. Please do not get discouraged when someone passes on. Rejoice for getting to meet their true selves. I have made wonderful friendships on line here and would have enjoyed meeting them in real life. But I have met their souls here and love them for showing me more than my own eyes could ever take in.

Much love forever more and a day.

So grateful to have read your many post. When I read that you said how blessed you were by having had 15 months to say goodbye that's a blessing. None of us know the day, time, or hour. How I wish I had 15 months to say goodbye to my mom who lost here battle with lung cancer within 3 weeks of diagnoses When I read your many post it makes you realize to appreciate each day you have at that moment. Thanks for sharing so much of yourself and to help others live life to the fullest. My God comfort you at this time

I pray that you find peace. We have never chatted. This is ny 5th and last cancer, and I am at peace with what is coming. Knowing that we go home to our Lord is great comfort. No one lives forever, but we have been given the great opportunity to show love to those we leave behind. May God bless you in your journey

Mike,Sending prayers for a gentle landing. This is not an easy road we are on and I greatly admire the grace you bring to your journey as it nears its end.

You've a unique voice and your words have given comfort to those who've had the opportunity to read them. I'm grateful that you had the opportunity to say your goodbyes and heal any broken relationships (if any existed).

You have enriched this corner of the world and for that I am grateful to you. You leave a legacy of hope and caring. I for one will never be able to watch a paintball video without thinking of you.

Sending highest regards,

Denise/Denzie

Dear Mike - Your words, courage and strength are very inspiring. I think deep down, we all know that we may be facing this place in our lives, and it's not easy. But, it is so encouraging to know you that you are facing this time with such dignity and grace. I'll never give up on hoping for a "Miracle" and know that is something we all want - I also hope that I will have your courage and strength when this time comes for me in my battle. You sound like such a amazing man and I wish I had met you earlier in your battle --

Praying for your comfort and peace.....
