    Just to keep Fat Cyclist fans updated: According to Elden's Facebook status, he met with a hospice nurse last night. That doesn't sound good, obviously, so I'm sure he and the family can use all of our prayers, virtual hugs, best wishes and good thoughts.

    I cannot even fathom what he's going through. Much less to be able to write about it, and share it with the world. Their kids are lucky to have someone with such grace and dignity to take care of them.

    Susan's journey sounds so much like a late friend of mine's. It's painful on two levels.

    Ditto. I can't bring myself to keep reading it. Way too painful and close to home. I can only hope the best for her family. They've gone through one helluva journey together already.

    Elden's post, today, made me practically sob. I found myself going through Kleenex like crazy. Then, I had to go unstuff my nose. Very sad. There are lots of very sad people following that blog.
