And you do the same.

I wish I could get up there to see you(I'm an hour and change to the South in Palm Harbor), but I don't want to intrude on your family time.

From one fellow Northwesterner(Born and raised in Portland) to another, God's blessings on you Bradyr. You're okay! :D

Brady, I wish this wasn't so. I know there has been a lot of tears all over the colon club world shed tonight hearing this news - I just dried mine enough to type this email. You have been so helpful to so many people. I remember you answering so many q's for me that put my tired and worried mind at ease. I always read and learned from what you had to say. Thank you for that, your time has been well spent here because we all care about you, and you have helped so many of us. I am so sad you have to go through this. I can tell Sharon loves you tremendously. Enjoy your family, live in the moment, and know that all of your friends are sending prayers your way.

You have a good soul and I wish the love we all have for you could be enough to keep you here forever. Your family will be in my thoughts.

Hugs,

Jen

Wow, words just arent enough to express how close a community of people can become when we all have something in common and have such big hearts.

I hope your trip gives you peace and warms your heart with love. Knowing that you got to see your family one final quality time and knowing that your loving wife will carry you through will hopefully give you some strength.

We are all here and we will be here.

Brady, you did all that you could to fight off this beast. You and Sharon have been a great support to the rest of us. It was nice to read all the support you gave to all of the new people on the broad. I have answered your P.M.
