Good morning.

I was kind of hoping 73 would have posted here. He is active on Facebook with updates on his health. Well, semi- active. Anyway, I thought I should share his latest one. I know I'm not allowed to do certain things, as far as direct quotes, unless I get permission from the person. If Dusty could let me know if I'm allowed to copy and paste here, I would appreciate it.

So, his doctor has released him from his care. There is nothing more the doctor can do. He has 3 weeks to a couple of months before complications from his failing liver takes its toll. He says "Those on the Internet and ECF. Your words have been encouraging".

In case you are reading this 73, I pray for your continued peace and I pray that they are able to make you as comfortable as possible.

This has to be one of the hardest posts I've ever made. It isn't nearly as bad as the one Hula made not really all that long ago when she found out about Z. I'm still writing this as the tears fall. I just thought you all, that don't have FB, should know.

Whoa! It was really hard to like this one, I hadn't seen his latest post. The last one I saw, had a picture of him sitting on the couch with his family. Guess I should check on FB more often. I'll also be praying for his continued peace and for his family.

Here is the latest status on my health. The specialist has released me from care, saying there is nothing further that he can do. The next step will be hospice when my condition degenerates further. The doctors experience and best guess is that I could have 3 weeks to a couple of months before complications from the failing liver begin taking a toll.

To all my local friends I want to say thank you for your support. God has brought together His people in an amazing way with the financial help and physical labor getting the house ready to sell. Those on the internet and through the ECF. Your words have been encouraging.

I face the end of my life here under the sun. Knowing there awaits a transformation, I look forward to that. That I will be leaving my friends and family is only going to be a temporary situation for those who have trusted in Jesus Christ, In Christ it is revealed that: “everything was created by Him, in heaven and on earth, the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities— all things have been created through Him and for Him.” Colossians 1:17

It has always been about Christ. Unfortunately religion has made it about so many other things that people are never really introduced to the living person of Jesus Christ. Don't let that happen.

Ever since Jesus Christ revealed Himself in to me 1978 I have been possessed. He showed me that He is truly God in the flesh. I was blown away by that reality and believed. I was not always steadfast in my pursuit of knowing Him and learned over time that He was at work in me despite myself. In these last days He has revealed to me what He has been doing through the lives of so many people. It has been humbling and exciting at the same time. He promised He would not let me go or allow someone to snatch me out of His hand. There is NOTHING that can separate me from the Love of Christ. Death will only bring me to a place that I will see Him for who and what He is. I will not cease to exist when my eyes close here but awake to a life I could never have imagined.

Once my condition degenerates further I will not be able to post very much or anything at all. I have to not reached that point so will, as led, say what comes to mind.

Thank you. Thank you for letting me get to know you, for your wisdom, and for sharing it with us here. Please keep sharing what you can, when you can. Your bravery in the face of this is inspiring, and proof of the power of faith. Your strength is uplifting.

I can say no more.

Alrighty then. Back from the lung doc. All meds refilled, new meds prescribed. Can't afford the x-rays yet or some of the other lab work he wanted to do. I did get a frown for falling backwards, but he did let me know that my lungs sounded really good for everything that has been going on. Yet like my signature. "I WILL STUMBLE AND FALL. I WILL GET BACK UP. AND MOST IMPROTANT, I WILL NEVER EVER GIVE UP. Shop is closed. I'm off work till Friday. Seems the younger ones at the shop don't believe this old man can do anything to help move. (little do they know). But I will enjoy the extra time with my sweetie, and planning on rebuilding some RDA's and RBA's. Trying some new juice out, so at least I'll be busy.

Thoughts and prayers are with you my friend and your family. God bless you and keep you safe.

73, I am both saddened by your situation and enlighten by your Faith and optimism. There is but One True Lord and Creator. No matter which name you call him by, if you walk with Him, and share His Grace with another then your place beyond this earthly plane is secure. He can work miracles, but I also believe when you have fulfilled His plans You shall be granted Peace. :nun:
Look up ZGhost, and start a vaping lounge for the rest of us when you are Called Home.

73, I haven't said much to you about your situation. I've lost so many loved ones now, family and friends, most taken long before their time, that I don't even know what to think about life anymore. Don't mistake my silence for not caring, but understand I simply have no words.

God grant you serenity my friend.

I keep thinking of that poem by Dylan Thomas, Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night. For 73, that would mean cracking a good joke. :)

As Jim Valvano said, "Cancer can take away all of my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart, and it cannot touch my soul." It doesn't have to be cancer in 73's case, but the point remains.

The very hardest thing to do is to let go gracefully. First instincts are to deny, try to give amazing words that may somehow make everything better, give false hope that a miracle will magically take the illness away.

73, Frank, thank you for showing me how it's done. May God wrap his loving arms around you and take you home. Let him watch over your family and keep them safe until the time they join you. I can't say goodbye quite yet. I'm not that graceful
