We've had conversations here before about Mr. Ebert, and many of us have attempted to contact him without much success. That does not bother me that he prefers not to formally do something through OCF that might benefit others. This is mostly because he still does much in his own way. I have to admit that I am quite taken by Roger's articulate nature. So I read his blog routinely, and I still follow his movie reviews. Today he chose to share a great deal of details about his cancer journey. It is an amazing piece, not just for what he has gone through, but for the way in which he has come to understand the "new Roger." There are some pieces in there that I absolutely have to steal when I speak, because he says them better that I have ever even thought them.

This is going up on the OCF news feed tomorrow and will therefore get read by thousands who subscribe to it. But since I know that many here do not choose to sign up for the free feed, I didn't want people to miss this. So I am putting up a link to something I think you all will enjoy. In the end it is a triumph of spirit over the physical, and a great story of personal acceptance, something that not everyone, even the healthy, reach.
