"Nevertheless, I’m very weak, have very little strength, can’t walk a full city block, haven’t been able to work in many months, and have great difficulty eating more than a very small portion of food at any given time without getting very full.

I’m prepared for the worst but hoping for the best.

Should my time be short, I’m at peace with that too. I’ve lived a great life, have had many wonderful blessings, have been able to touch many lives and have no lingering regrets or unfinished business.

If it’s my time to go, I go in peace.

If you happen to know someone who knows me, I hope you will feel free to send them a link to this article to update them on my health and my future."
