Well, we didn't go. I got a call yesterday afternoon that my colleague and friend who is battling pancreatic cancer had taken a turn for the worse, had several strokes, and hospice had been called in. After much crying during the day, on my way home I called the house and talked to his wife to see if I could stop by and see him. I did. there were a lot of people there so I didn't get to visit with him long, but am going back today when it is quieter hopefully (if he is still here with us)....

Thanks to my secret pal for encouraging me to go see him last night.

Big "Bruce" Hugs to you BC. You did the right thing.

You did the right thing, Bruce can wait. Prayers and thoughts for your friend.

C, I'm so sorry. Having spent some time with you, I know how you must be feeling. I told Louise last night that you was going to see Bruce, and she said, "I'll bet Cynde try's to climb on the stage."

We feel your pain Cynde.

So sorry Cynde about your friend, you are such a good person and of course you did the right thing. You will both be in my thoughts today.Big hugs to you my friend.

Cynde, my thoughts are with you also...I know he is a good friend, and this is very hard on you & his family. Please keep in mind that all of your friends here on BT are with you now, we will be here for you through all of this.
(((((HUGS)))))

You're a good friend Cynde.
Gentle hugs to you and your friend and his family. I'm glad your secret pal helped you make the right decision.

You are indeed a good friend Cynde. This will mean so much to you, to him and to his family.

Many, many hugs to you.

I'm sorry, Cynde. I know you love this guy.

Here's the only comforting part of this that I can see...he's at home with people who love him. I think that's what most people would choose to do, but few people get to do. Please combine all my good thoughts with yours when you think of him.

Cynde...sorry for your (and his) pain... sending many "good thoughts" your way!

Sorry to hear about your friend, Cynde, you did good last night. Big Hugs to you and peace for your friend to come.

Cynde, tho I don't have the image here, put your hand on the screen. Big hugs coming at you.

Thanks everyone. Thanks for the hand Tom.

The cancer has spread to his brain, stomach, and lungs. His left side is paralyzied from the strokes, and he is in and out of conciousness. I'm glad I got to see him.

Now some of you know why I have that quote on my profile, and why this is my favorite song...
Live Life Like Your Gonna Die

I've been thinking about you and Dennis
this has been playing in my head all day
Live like you were dying

William Shattner... well, what can you say... too cool

Cynde

Some things you can miss and somethings you will never forgive yourself for missing. Big hugs for you and your friend.

Cynde, I am so sorry. I am very sorry for your friend. That is a tough nut to swallow for sure. When you remember people and how vibrant they were, it tears your soul out to see them in that state. One thing you did like this will come back to you in good things triplicate. I hope your dear friend does not suffer too much and goes into that good night quietly. Bruce will be around for a while.

Will be thinking of your friend and you tonight, good night Cynde.

I'm so sorry I am late to this thread. Big hugs and good thoughts for you and your friend. You are such a good person that he will benefit just from your company.

Everyone has said it all...well done BC...prayers and thoughts of strength coming your way...

Cynde - you followed your heart. Many hugs for you and I hope for peace for your friend & his family.

I am so sorry Cynde, Big hugs and lots of thought to your friend.

Keep us posted Cynde. We're here with you.

Thanks gang, as most of you know, this is the time I have been dreading.

HUGE hugs to you dear.

Hope you get a good nights rest C.

Cynde, Thinking of you and sending big gentle HUGS your way.

We're thinking of you and Dr. Lee, Cynde...please keep us posted...
