    he is really tired of his broken hurting body (you have NO idea). If you want to pray for him, he'd like you to pray for him to have strength, not to heal, because we know it isn't going to happen. Thanks for your kindness and generosity.

    I will hope for him to have the best possible quality of life in what time he has and for both of you to have the strength that you need for the days to come.

    ((((Mimi and Don)))) I've been worried about both of you but was hoping that your absence from TE simply meant that your new retirement was fun and busy. I must wait a week before I can make a donation but will certainly do so. May both of you have strength for whatever the coming days will bring.

    Dear Mimi and Don,

    I have been struggling to put into words of what I wish to convey. It is a time of much sadness and sorrow to know that you do not have much time left. Leaves everyone with a heavy heart.

    Then it occurred to me that the finite time left should be best spent on things to make both of you happy and to forget what lies ahead. simple pleasures of life. Go see the whales, go to the Lavender festival or a field and enjoy the refreshing scent and the view, go see the sunset together. Sometimes, the simple things in life, right in our backyard, are the best of things.

    My wishes and prayer is for Don to have as many good days as possible.

    Sincerely and peace be with you and Don,

    Shawn

    So sorry to hear the news. I haven't been on line for a few days, and this was one of the last things I wanted to hear.

    May Don's days be comfortable.

    I'm very sorry to read of Don's passing. Wishing you courage, peace, and love to carry you.

    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    I wish much strength and comfort to you, Mimi, at this time. Stories like Don's make me so numb with anger and sadness. We lost my FIL several years ago...he was so active and healthy...cancer afflicted him, regardless. He and my MIL crammed so much life into his last months and years. I am glad that you and Don are making the most of the time you have together. (((hugs)))
