I'm sorry your going thru this. My mom had cancer I felt bad I lived out of state and was not able to care for her. I enjoy your writings. Take care🌺🌹❤️

It’s a miracle you came through this awful life-threatening ordeal!! You and your wife are remarkably strong and you are in my prayers as you recover.

My goodness, Bill, what a thing to happen! I hope the pain dissipates soon. It takes strength and peace of mind to find the opportunity in the pain. Wishing you a continued abundance of both.

Ann thanks. I hope that sometime soon I have the opportunity to write something about families, cancer, and continuity of care. I learned so much from CAPA.

I am so sorry to hear this terrible development. It sounds like you had quite good care, starting with your amazing first-responder spouse. As always, Bill, your writing, art, and bedrock faith are very moving. You sojourn on with grace and it's a gift to us, your readers.
