Knew This Was Coming

Jan 20, 2016 02:25

There is no easy way to say this, so, as always, I'll just lay the cards on the table. I saw my oncologist today, and I am now at the end stage of this journey. For the first time, I asked for her to give me numbers, and she said she didn't know, that my body would tell us that. We are talking months, most likely. She said I should go for the ( Read more... )

I don't know what to say, Zen. I just wish that things were different, & I'm hoping so hard that you can get on that trial.
You've got an incredible outlook & this past nine months have been a masterclass in style!
I'm so sorry not to be able to get a hug in person but I'm sending a million virtual ones.
*hugs*

I'm not sure if I have your current address - the one I have is S. Blanchan Ave?

This is me, hugging you like mad. Thanks, honey, of course I wish things were different, too, but I guess we must play the hand we are dealt in this life. It's friends like you that have made this life so precious.

Here's my addy-

Hugs and love to you, the Budster, and Mr. B!

I don't like ketchup

You commie pinko stinko.

But do you like Catsup?

LMAO!

No catsup, ketchup, or anything resembling it! That shit is gross!!!

*hugs you hard* I'm so sad for the bad news and still so amazed by your courage.

Are you still feeling up for going to restaurants? If there's a fancy place in Chicago you'd like to try I would love to send you & pals for dinner. Otherwise will find some other surprise yummies to send. :)

I'm going to be in Chicago at the end of May--will hold out hope that I get a chance to see you. <3 <3 <3

I love your restaurant offer, and will get back to when I figure out where we'd like to go. I'm hanging in there, still got a lot of fight in me, so don't worry about me too much.

Fingers crossed for the end of May!!!

Maybe keep your eyes open/have someone ready to sign for something on Mon Feb 1. :D

Ooh, we'll be out in the morning, but home all afternoon.

Although I selfishly want so many more years of time with you than I'm going to get, I'm also thinking of the grace you have in knowing something more about what and when than many of us get. "No one gets out of here alive" and for some of us it will be at a sudden moment where we don't get to know it's time to meet with as many friends as possible NOW and it's time to eat all the yummy treats NOW and all those other things you'll be doing NOW to get every joy of life that's available to you NOW -- some of us will eventually miss all that because we think we can put it off for later, but for some of us we will be wrong about when that later time is going to get us.

And speaking of NOW: may I come see you this Friday? If you're only up for a short visit, it could just be about ten minutes or so like we were doing on Saturdays.

*hugs and clings*

I've actually got plans for this Friday night. Pete and I are going to Maggianno's for dinner! I also might have people coming in for a weekend visit, but anytime you can pop buy to hang out for a bit would be lovely.

Lemme know what your weekend is looking like, and we'll see what we can do. I want to see you as often as possible, absolutely!!!

Yays that you have yummy plans for Friday and friends coming to visit on the weekend! In the interest of spreading out "all the things happening in all the moments," would my coming over for a visit late afternoon or early evening of next Thursday (the 27th) work for you? (I can arrange for some time off from work in the late afternoon or early evening that day.)
