wow L & C...I'm so sorry to hear that...I wish you nothing but peace, love, hope, and empathy...for both you and your loved ones in your time of need, I wish for you to beat this horrible disease, but things happen in life that can go for the worst...
I'm no good at this type of shit, but I lost my brother in June, and it's made me think a lot on the topic of death, and loss, and afterlife...I hope that for all of our sake's there is an afterlife and that we will someday meet again, perhaps just as a comfort thought.
But, nontheless I wish you nothing but a safe and peaceful passage through life, and whatever afterlife that is in store...
once again, peace, hope, love, and empathy
