I just cried at work, so thanks for that, and for letting us all know how you feel.

I suspect you and I have read a lot of the same stoic philosophy classics and I’m confident that this has armed you well for the battles to come. I appreciate the candor and spirit of everything you are writing.

When I was going through my radiation lots of friends and neighbours, (including Mrs L), would stop by with dinners, baked goods and snacks. So much so that I actually put on weight during my treatment! Harry, who was about 12 at the time started calling them ‘cancer meals’ and couldn’t wait to get home from school each day to see what cancer meal we were going to have that day!
It was so good talking to you and Mrs L yesterday, I am now going to go back to blog#1!

S’funny, Red. I’ve never thought of myself as an official Stoic before — I always liked Epicurus better — but it sure does help to think about which things you can control and to accept the things that you can’t.

I think of you every time I have a Japanese beer (which is often)!
