I have spent most of the last week saying goodbye in person and in writing. It is surreal to say goodbye and mean it. When I entered hospice at the end of last year, I knew I had some time left to see friends and share experiences. This time, it's for real. This is not a drill. My close college friends were here all weekend and we spent hours laughing and crying. I'm so grateful to have a chance to see people who have been part of my life. My sisters fly in tomorrow and Tuesday. Tonight I will take my last tube feed. No food or water starting tomorrow -- just morphine in the daytime and dilotid at night (what a blessing that drug is!). I still have some loose ends to tie up this week, including finalizing my celebration of life on July 18th. yes, I'm a control freak.
I can't begin to say how much your friendships and support have meant to me. This forum has helped me through the toughest moments. I will try to check in this week and I've asked my sister to post my obituary when the time comes.
Sending you all my love and a fist bump. Carry that torch.
