Thank you. We actually found out about a week after I wrote this post that his cancer had returned. They’ve given him months at best. I thought I had prepared myself, but it was still a big shock.

Thanks so much for your sweet words – they’re very true:)

Thanks so much. I’m glad I got to see him as well, although it was bittersweet. Made me wish we hadn’t missed out on so much time. You know, you’re probably right – many people rise to the occasion when things are the worst. I just can’t imagine going through what he has.

Funny about your brother having the same name. Thanks so much for the prayers and comment!

I’m so glad you got to see your brother. You will treasure that time in all the days to come, whether they are too short or long and lovely. I saw a few comments from people about “not knowing how he does it.” I always smile when I see that because the majority of us would be rockstars…we just haven’t been tested the way Jeff has (thank God).

You do it because you must. Period.

I’ll keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers. Incidentally, my brother’s name is Jeff too. 🙂

Ditto, Tiff. It’s lovely.

Thanks so much for this mention, Natalie. You’re very sweet:)

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it. I feel especially sorry for my other brother and their dad (all my bros/sisters are half-siblings). They’ve been with him through day one and it’s been really hard on them. Hugs back, and thanks again!
