Remember your towel.
Love to you from Martyn, Henry and me.
I have no words. {{{R}}} {{{J}}} I love you guys.
I love you, R and J.
R, it is so hard to know what to say in a situation like this. I have been following this blog and your mom’s Facebook posts, and you have been in my thoughts and prayers for a long time now. You may not be aware of this, but my youngest brother John went missing 2-1/2 years ago, and people did not know what to say to me, so they said nothing. It took me a long time to understand why they said nothing, but now I know they just did not know what to say, and so I forgive them.
Alan and Mary and their baby daughter, Bel, just moved last Saturday to a teeny little town in Glenville, West Virginia and they don’t yet have a phone or computer. There is a state college there, and Alan has gotten a tenured professor position, where he will be teaching psychology. He has been asking me about you on a regular basis, and he, too, has been following this blog. Alan is so fond of you and he considers you one of his “friends for life.” Just know that you are greatly loved, admired, and respected by many, many people.
I wish you peace, love, and comfort.
Sincerely,
Donna Jean Glasgow

Wish this wasn’t so. I don’t know what to say except that you are amazing and our thoughts are with you.
Love you loads, R & J. Thinking of you constantly.
I’m feeling paralyzed due to distance. Please know I am thinking of you. You call me if there is anything ANYTHING I can do for you. 801-602-2958. Love you, R. You’re the best.

R and J, Yes for once I don’t know what to say. I love you so much. Sent J an email a week or so ago, saying that we are coming to visit in October; can’t come before – can’t you hang around for a few more years? Early Oct. is not far away; keep eating the fish and feeling the love.
Sad friends.
Can’t add anything else but my love.
Oh, I’m so sad today. Can I bring you anything? I’m just so sorry.
You have been so brave, and put up such a hard fight. Both of you.
My Boogle word for you is Courage.
Love you both so much, and can only hope these few weeks are rich and loving for you.
I’d been telling myself that my lack of hearing anything was good news. I am so sorry.
Paralyzed and wordless here, too. Much love.
I love you both so much, and think about and pray for you every day. So much love.
I’m so sorry. I don’t know what to say either. All my love to you and J. Like Froggie, anything I can do, just ASK. (541) 386-2022.
Will see you Friday the 13th! Trying to get all the other kids up there.
Awesome R. I love your attitude. my hubby says, “Not bad for last words. Douglas Adams would be proud.” My thought, What fish? If you need any kelp I’m sure you can find some kinfolk to harvest some for ya. Hundreds of prayers each day from the two of us. And if I don’t see you, good afternoon, good evening and good night!
Oh R and J. How hard you have both fought, and so often with humor and faith. what is in store.? Our love goes with you. whenever I am hurting my thoughts go to you, who have been hurting so very much more and the only thing that helps me sleep is repeating the serenity prayer over and over. You are truly in God’s hands now. If I thought trying to get to see you would make a miraculous cure, I would be there in a heart beat, but it is not to be so. Our prayer is that there will not be too much pain. You both seem to be able to manage the humor part of it OK. Love forever Gramma and Grampa B
As regards the fish, you are welcome to my portion. I never could stand to eat anything that came out of the sea. I admire your stoicism, R, and the beautiful love you and J have for each other. All my love.
Love to you both and many hugs, even though they are from afar. Suzy and Matt
J and R,
Peace be with you both. Continue to live life to the fullest! You two are such fighters and brave souls!
You are both in my prayers.
I don’t know what to say except to echo others – I am here. I make deliveries.
Though we’ve never met in person, I am so inspired by your perseverance, humor, dedication and strength. Thank you for sharing your journey . . . reading your blog has forced me to confront how I would handle such a challenge. My hope – that I can live up to the example you’ve set. We all go through our lives hoping to make a difference – you have made one on me.
speechless…
We have never met. I think we may have spoken, and we have exchanged many messages. Our paths crossed in a specific way, in a specific place, years ago. We’ve been crossing the same paths off and on ever since, and I have always thought well and highly of you and J., even though if evidence ever needed to be given, we could not have picked each other out of a lineup.
What a strange and wonderful world we live in, that people on opposite sides of the country can know each other and share and become friends.
Godspeed, brother.
Hearts. Mine, yours. There’s so much to say and nothing to say all at the same time. I love you. See you soon. Like it or not, I’ll be there, because I need you.
J & R,
I’m so sorry to hear this news. Let us know if you need anything.
Dan
I think of you two every day.
I wish we had the money to take you to the Gerson clinic in Mexico. we would take J too of course, to be by your side and I would go and Grampa by my side and maybe they could give me a new spine, back and knee while I was there and keep the last 40 lbs in Mexico. so we could both walk away, new people. Sadly, I have not won any lotteries lately even tho’ reader’s Digest keeps promising. LOL
Your family will be with you sooon. I keep looking on the blog for any kind of news, but I guess you have already said goodbye to all of us. Until we meet again, in the great beyone, you still have our love and prayers. Gramma B

So sad, so sorry. You have my prayers and best wishes and hope you can go singing and not in too much pain. Appreciated meeting you R and hearing you sing at my place. Viv in Australia.
Well, I am still praying for you and for a miracle to occur!
God works miracles and I’m not giving up. Love you!
I check back daily, hoping you have some good points in your journey. My thoughts and heart are with you both each day. I’m feeling really bummed I won’t see you again. Just really bummed.
