Retro Red Diagnosis in

[Panache]

Craig,

I don't know your last name

I don't know the names of your children,

or even know if you have children

but you are my friend

I have never been to your house

I have never shared a meal with you

or even shaken your hand

but you are my friend

I look forward to the things you write

Always laugh at all your jokes,

or at least groan good naturedly at them

because you are my friend

We have shared a fictional train ride together to the Great Golden Hall

We have shared a bit of carved and painted wood shaped like an airship,

passed between us through a chain of goodwill

because we are friends

You are in my thoughts

and my hopes

and whatever time you have, I wish you peace

my friend

Sincerely

James

I could not come up with anything better so I'll just say....yeah, what James said.

The words I want to post are not allowed under our forum rules. They are short four letter words and Anglo-Saxon in nature. You probably have voiced them yourself of late.

Sending up billows of smoke for you my friend. Know you'll make your peace.

Know pancreatic cancer all too well and you're right, most sadly its a fast one, don't waste a second.

Know you'll live forever on this board...an icon of kilted wisdom and fun.

Hugging you, sniveling, and laughing a bit too. You're off to the Great Mystery sooner than you'd planned, but we'll all catch up soon enough. Gotta be kilted on the other side...send us back a sign.

Mucho JuJu your way my friend.

Sorry to hear of your prognosis Red. Our family will be certian to keep you and your family in our prayers.

[McClef]

Cancer is horrid and a lottery as to whether you get it or which kind you get.

When I was diagnosed I was told I had "drawn the short straw" yet mine was treatable and worth the 6 months of hell when I went through the chemo.

Yours sounds a shorter straw than mine was but I learnt to value each day and not take them for granted.

The battle is always worth it and you will be in my thoughts and hopes to win yours.

Very sorry to hear that Craig. We will pray for you and your family as well as the Dr.'s.

[Mael Coluim]

Sorry to learn of this news. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Oh dear....one does not know what to say at a time like this. If positive thoughts count for anything, please know that Steve's and mine are flooding you and your family right now, and in the days, weeks and months to come.

Well Retro, I can only wish you the best, massive juju going out your way, and prayers for both you and your family.

Having had cancer in my family I know the strain it places on them.

Things will be ok and your life will still be lived, just make sure you live it to the fullest.

Hard to 'man-hug' through a forum, but here I am doing it right now bud.
