You are in my thoughts Mike, two fine people can rest a bit now, when you are ready to get out you call me. Tough birds with a zest for living always find a way to keep on living and it's tough on those close; but you have to respect that deep down desire to live. My mom was very similar, she fought through all kinds of cancer and the last 4 years were tough to watch, but you just had to admire the will involved and hope it's something she has instilled in you as well. I sighed a long deep sigh of relief the last day as family all watch that tough bird struggle for almost a day, grasping hard for each and every last breath, even though conscious thought had slipped away two days earlier. Ironically, I say conscious, but it was minutes after a call from my brother in Hawaii united that last family member in the room, the will let it go. It was a special momemt and I hope the end was special for you my friend. At peace at last I'm happy for you Mike, it was a long battle for you both.
