OT request - the grim reaper approaches

[Nixcited delighted]

As many of you know, I have been a moderator of this group for some years. I now have an average of six months left to live. I am not having any more cancer chemo, which would only give me another six months even if I did.

I don't mind dying, it is the sadness of leaving my wife Jean alone that really cracks me up. Paul Parry of Bad Dog Design in the UK came up with a great idea. I send Paul some envelopes addressed to my wife and once I am pushing up the daisies, these will be sent out from random locations, at random times, over the coming years. I rather like this idea. A couple of other Nixie friends have generously offered to help, Simon Law in Australia and Michail Wilson in the US.

I am in the UK and what I would like to do is to find a few people in other distant lands and far off kingdoms who could also take and send few random cards for me. I am not expecting people to do this for free, I would paypal appropriate funds in advance. My son Alex will trigger the event and let people know when I no longer inhabit the planet. He will also let people know if my wife moves house.

If anyone might help, could they please contact me off list?

Love to my fellow nixie friends,

John S

John - I'm sure the rest of us feel the same way, but I'm really torn-up inside about your future, versus you sharing it with us now so we can offer our help and support. You've been on this forum long before me and continue to be one of it's high-value contributors. Take care and know that neonixie will be in good hands and that we're all here for you.

Hi John,

I'm in the same situation.

After 2 years of radiation and 5 types of chemo, the chemo doctor told me that it's the end of the road as well.

Each night when I go to bed, I'm wondering if the light at the tunnel will get bright.

God bless you,

Mort

Morton, very very sorry to hear that. Not sure what else to say. I'm sure everyone here on the list would join me in saying we wish the best for both yourself and John and your respective families going through very tough times.

Best,

Pharma Nick (mod)
