I will never forget when you first came on the message boards, it was very soon after I found this wonderful family. I admired you instantly because you were so open about your fear, something I had yet to face. Reading your posts made me realize how much courage it took to admit that we are afraid during a trial that requires the emotions that cancer demands of us. And then I had the honor of meeting you and your wonderful wife. My girls had heard so much about Danny Boy, I talked and talked about you. When I met you I felt like I had known you forever and you were the hit of our walkathon. My girls ask me at least once a week how you're doing and this news will make them very sad. I'm crying typing this. I'm so sorry it's turned out this way Danny, I wish I could do something to change the outcome. But I so deeply respect the courage you have shown and continue to show. I also agree with your decision, it's one I would make for myself if I am ever in your position. You offer a window into what may become some of our realities in the future, please keep sharing with us.
Love you,
Minnie
