Your a wonderful person and a friend to him. Enjoy the time you have together.

My thoughts and prayers are with you both.

Is he going into hospice on Monday? Or do they have home hospice?

Hang in there, although it's tough, keep him smiling and laughing as much as you can for both your sakes.

We are all here to help you through this.

Lots of Hugs, Nikko:hug:

That must have been hard to hear about.
Does he have any religious back ground?
Hospice has spiritual people as well who will visit him if he wants that...a minister or priest are usually on the team as well as social workers.
take care of yourself too.

Thank you Mrs. Bear, Nikko and Bizi.

Mrs. Bear, I appreciate your thoughfulness.

Nikko, he's not much in a laughing mood now.

Bizi, at the time my neighbor talking about picking out his casket seem such a natural thing to discuss. I plan to do the same for myself when I am able to. I do not want my brothers being cheap with my funeral so there will be lots of insurance money left over for them.

My thoughts and prayers are with you both at this difficult time.

You will get through this, you are a strong person. I guess it's good he can talk about it too. It must be so hard.

I am sure hospice will help a lot too.

Again, we are all here for you, keep posting, let it out, vent......cry......let the emotions flow, don't hold it in.

Hugs, Nikko:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Dear BF, Barb has all the right things to say, as usual, and so do all the other posters. I firmly believe that you were meant to enter Doug's life for a reason; I'm also glad he has softened enough to be able to let you in.

As the others have said, too, you've got to take care of yourself - keep your strength up, and try your hardest not to get too emotionally caught up in the situation, this for both of you, will be a good idea.

Best wishes, stay strong, and know that we are all behind you :grouphug:

Thank Nikko and Jaquie,

Nikko, my neighbor will have the home hospice.

Jaquie, I will try my best to do what you suggest. So far I'm doing fine. He took me and his roommate out to eat yesterday and wanted for me to also go play bingo with them in the worst way. I wanted to get my rest though for Sunday school today and my freind coming over. I'm going to need my
3-D support as well so I need to build up my support systems for that day when it comes.

when I said this could be one of your most beautiful experiences, I meant that this period can be filled with love...love is so powerful...we forgot the petty issues of life and just open ourselves up to what is truly valuable...the more you feel the love and let the love act, the easier it will be when the time comes. We all have to die..nobody is exempt....

Thank you Bobby.

I haven't seen my neighbor all day today as either him or I have been gone. I went to church this morning and had lunch out with one of my friends and lost a game of scrabble.
