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.

Prayers and hugs for him and his precious family. I imagine writing about his experiences is his way of coping with it. Having lost my mom and dad and a close friend to cancer, I can understand some of what he is going through. The MS150 ride I am training for is for my dear friend I lost several months ago. She had MS and also had an inoperable brain tumor. I will be riding in memory of her, and I will also have this family in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for keeping us updated on Susan.

nod
When I read today's blog, it was some relief (is that the right adjective in this case??) but also my heart sank. I'm glad he was able to say what he had to.

Fatcyclists blog has been inspiring and moving and often very funny, but it's just heart-breaking now. Especially because we all know it's been coming. I'm not sure I want to keep reading it now
but I don't think I can keep away either. I notice even BSNYC indirectly managed to point people to FC's blog today.

support
I would like to post a message of support on the FC site. The only thing stopping me is i don't want to look like an idiot & say the wrong thing.

Just say you're keeping him in your thoughts. It doesn't have to be original.
