I am praying for Kennedy. Praying for a quick and merciful death. Mostly quick.

I love your tag line. It is relevatory. I’ve never thought of my soul in those terms but that is exactly right. I’m not my body, I’m my soul. Wow, that’s obvious but it took your tag line to make me see it. Thanks.
I’m so much more than happy that you got the same thing from it as I did (the first time I saw it). C.S. Lewis was a genius.
Take good care of your soul.
Symptoms are remarkably similar to my fathers - diagnosed in July, died the following March. Kennedy may not live to see a new President.
Stand in line for one to five years, then die.
My father had a melanoma (back when Senator Kennedy’s brother was President). It metastasized into the brain. He was gone within one year.
My father had brain cancer (1961 - 1962). It affected the speech center. For the last six months he could neither speak nor write. We never had a chance to say goodbye to him in a proper manner.
