A Melanoma Patient's Perspective of Impending Death

I haven't written for a while, I know. I can't tell you what it means to me that you still check on us. Yesterday marked a year since I attached the meter to this site, and I am amazed that it has been accessed over 95,000 times in the past year! Often times, the only cushion I have keeping me from falling flat is you all who offer your constant support.

I don't feel like saying much tonight. Jeff Dodd got his angel wings, and joined so many other daddies in Heaven who have left a young family behind, all at the hands of melanoma. I encourage you to read their blog entry today, first written by his wife Kelly. The she posted a blog entry he wrote, in which he asked her to post it after he died. It is really an amazing perspective. I could almost hear the questions he had as the same that Brian struggled with. I always encouraged Brian to write some things down, and it wasn't something he thought would help him. Even so, a lot of what Jeff wrote is what I think Brian would have said.

So I'm thinking over Jeff's blog entry and trying to find a way to put a twist on it to pertain to our family. Maybe it would bring me some peace to know that some prayers really were answered instead of feeling abandoned.

I'll post that soon, hopefully.

Take care.
