"But dying doesn’t matter; it’s how I use the gift of life." I'm sorry this is happening and am grateful that you continue to share your wisdom with us.
Clicking “like” seems wrong, but as ever you write so beautifully. I’m hoping this round of chemo buys you time, brings relief from the pain and discomfort, and will allow you and Kathy to enjoy the holidays and beyond, surrounded by family and loved ones. Pam and I send our best wishes.
Bill, a scary, heart-rending, and ultimately transcendent, beautiful, and reassuring essay. Thank you, and thank you for helping us all navigate this miracle of life. Love, Chris

I should emphasize that my view on death is, "Not today, Satan!"

Thanks, Brian. If I write well, it's in large part because I have been able to work with other great writers; including you.
A powerful and brave writing, Bill, thank you for sharing.
And with Cthulhu even!
The notion of surrender is powerful, it's opened a vista on my own experience. I hope you don't mind if I invoke that in my next writing.
All best for the next round of chemo.
thank you, Barry.
By all means, use anything; that's what I publish it. I'll look forward to reading what you write.
Thank you for sharing your insight and inspiration. Wishing you a blessed holiday.

Thank you, Chris.
Wishing you and Kathy a Christmas full of family and love Bill.
