I think we should all keep our Kleenex close by today.

Very lovely thought, sage. I have already needed mine.

I think that his family will be glad of our prayers, arbee4bush.

I don’t know if it will be televised, but I just posted a thread.

Thank you!!!!!

[dmd25]

You are welcome!

[GoldwaterChick]

We will always be Snowflakes!

I thought the same thing last night! This Snowflake is dressed in white and my earrings are sparkly! Now I have to check the latest ping and meet with all of you. I’ve been talking on the phone to a friend who had “killer chemo” yesterday who also has colon cancer—again—and I hope we won’t be saying goodbye to him anytime soon.

[GoldwaterChick]

I personally knew your heart.

Beautiful! (tearfully)

Hi Goldwaterchick!

Glad your ears are sparkly! Mine are too and I decided to wear Davidson colors today.

This is going to be a tough day, I am glad that all the snowflakes will be together.

[”I’m going to write a book about beating cancer,” he said. “People need to know that they can beat it — they can beat cancer with love, and with family support, and with a positive attitude. I did it, and I’m going to write a book about it.” That was before he got sick again.

I’d give anything for Tony to be writing that book right now.]

Excellent article, thanks for posting it.

[GoldwaterChick]

What a great idea to wear the Davidson colors! Tony loved his school so much.

I’m on the other thread now but I’m looking for an earlier one here. See you over there!

[dmd25]

You are welcome. It was a nice one.

((((sl))))

Thank you. That was very, very sweet of you. I’m grateful for all the wonderful FReeper friends I have. Even if I will never meet many of them face to face, they are still very dear to me. :-)

((((rk))))

Right back atcha! I agree with every word you said.

[AliVeritas]

Sorry, I planned to be there... another older friend passed away and i'm waiting for the family to return from abroad. I'll be there in spirit...

[b4its2late]

Sounds good to me! Yep, we all have part of him always with each of us. Someone said recently that he would have made a good President, and you know something, I truly believe that.

[defconw]

Mine too! :(

This may be a dumb question, but how long do threads get archived here?

This may be a dumb question, but how long do threads get archived here?

Not a dumb question at all. I have no idea what the answer is. Hopefully someone will pipe up and let us know!

[defconw]

Well thanks, I am not willing to let Tony go, I guess. It would be nice to read theses threads at a later date, with perspective, rather then just emotions.

[dmd25]

I don’t want to let him go, either. Did you see the link I posted to his archives at JWR? I email them and asked if they would stay available, but haven’t heard back from them yet.

[defconw]

Truth? I have picked and chose my way through the threads. Maybe later. I found out that an old timer who once was important to me died yesterday. It’s been a week. So I just hope they are available for awhile, not forever, but for awhile.
