Re: ~It Won't Be Long Now! Poor Mighty Oak!!~

Marie,

I've been waiting a few days before I made my post, trying to come up with the right things to say. It hurts me more than I can say to hear this happening, because you were one of the first ones to welcome me to the group when i was first diagnosed, and because Ed and I belong to this very rare group of people that aren't supposed to have bc. I don't think that a day has gone by since I first arrived that I haven't prayed very hard to God to please spare Ed and to watch over the both of you. I feel so helpless to hear that he is suffering like this, and it just isn't fair dammit that people have to suffer like this. I'll stop now before I start sounding bitter, which I always try not to do.
I just want you both to know that I love you dearly, and you both are always on my mind and in my prayers. Please pay attention to what Bill said. He said what I was going to try and say, but he is much better at words than I am.

May God bless you both,

Doug
