Goodbye - Page 6

Thurmas, I'm sorry to hear the news... all my best wishes and thoughts I am sending your way...

We never interacted much here, mainly because we frequented different parts of the forum, but by all accounts you're a stand up guy... nobody deserves to go through what you're going through right now, but especially not one liked, respected, and appreciated by many. It has been brought to my attention that you and I are the same age and have been a member of this forum for about as long... wish he had crossed paths more.

Also, although it is important to be realistic, and have one's affairs in order, please, whatever you do, do not give up hope. We as a global society understand very little about cancer in general, and people have gotten to where you're at and made miraculous recoveries. But if it does, god forbid, turn out to be the end of the road, try to stay positive, focus all your energy into those things/people/activities most important to you, and try to remember, that death is nothing to fear. Easy for me to say, I guess, but death is a natural part of life that we will all face one day, that billions upon billions have already faced before us. Once we are gone we will not know we are gone, or what we are missing out on. It will be just like the billions of years before our birth. I am not by any means saying this to try and make light of your situation, but for me at least, the knowledge that death is normal gives me a strange sense of comfort. And as odd as it might sound, try to see this as an opportunity... and opportunity to be driven to do those things you may never have otherwise done, and to say those things to those people that you may never have gotten the chance and/or courage to otherwise say.

In other words, it's not over just yet. But if it is, you can still make it, however long "it" is, count. All the best to you in your fight. Godspeed... I am honored to have been able to share this blip in time with you.

Wishing you all the best and in as good of health as you can be for this holiday season, and may there be a path to recovery that can somehow be achieved - or at least remaining years in comfort surrounded by friends and family.

Your username and your avatar always stood out to me whenever I read the forum and I will miss your presence here. I wish you, your family and friends well.

He was last active on April 10th. That's over three weeks ago.

He had 3 posts that day and the previous post before that was March 2nd (over a month between posts) - so the gap isn't new. And prior to that he would go a week between posts.

He's obviously got a lot on his plate - hopefully he's doing ok... or as best as he can.

I lost my mom to cancer just under 3 months ago. It's a horrible disease and is shitty for the person going through it as well as their family/loved ones.

I don't know how I only read this now. I am so sorry to hear this. Wishing you all the best man. You will be missed here. Our opinions on politics weren't always similar but your contributions were always appreciated. See you on the other side.

Truenorth00 · #**117** Posted **May 4, 2024, 6:29 PM**

I had to reached out to him before and asked him to get in touch with some of the mods here. He said he would. Hoping some of the mods have contact to be able to reach out. I think the community here could probably contribute something small to his family.

That's a nice suggestion.

I've been wondering about him too, since it has been a while.
