God love you, Tony.

I've been watching this thread unfold, trying to find something to say, and coming up short before I started typing. I'm going through my dad reaching the end of his road and looking deeply at issues of mortality time and again.

I suppose most apposite is what the wise man said, that it doesn't matter whether you live or die (because you will) but what does matter is how you live while here. You've enriched many lives in many ways, not the least of which has been the example of courage you've shown us. Regardless of how this turns out, you've made the most of it and enriched us all.

I am grateful beyond words.

Thanks again.
