Anything I type seems wholly inadequate.

Love to you and the family.

Well, haven't posted an update on Nancy Topping-Maclean in a bit. There is a decline everyday, met with Dr. Bland and she believes Nancy has days to two weeks left with us. Maybe a few days where Nancy will be conscious enough for visits.

She is only taking a few tablespoons of her dinner now, we've had to give her water with a spoon until I picked up some sippy cups. Last night she didn't have the energy to blow a kiss, she had to use her other hand to help.... ita so heartbreaking. She is being stronger than all of us.

We knew this was coming, just so hard to watch.

Calling the funeral home today to make arrangements, and will have to start going through the motions.

Thank you for the few people checking in on me, dropping off food - not eating right lately, and for the visits. Gabe appreciated the visit, as did I. You can only talk to the microwave so much, it's pretty lonely here. Its good to see Gabe smiling with some friends in person, and not on a videogame. Means more than you can imagine right now.

Hug your loved ones while you can, and hug them often.

Sorry to hear that Jeb. I donated what I could, back at the beginning, as I'd gone through something similar with a family member not too long ago. And it's so frustrating watching them wither away and there not being a goodam thing you can do about it.

All I can say is be strong, man. Wish I could do something to help.

Doc.

My father recently had cancer surgery & we dealt with some other health issues of his, and that was difficult enough to deal with. I can't imagine what you're feeling coming to the end of this.

But it's good to hear Gabe is smiling & having some fun. Stay as positive as you can.

Jebus, don't forget to take care of yourself in this. If you have to, force yourself to take the time to take a minute out. Make sure to eat, even if you don't want to. Even if it's just one of those "shakes" in a can.

One of my good friends wife passed away a few months back due to excessive lifestyle and liver failure. He has just stopped eating. He could do a movie for the Holocaust right now, and is jeopardizing his own health and future. We are worried sick for him.

Keep in mind that people love and need you around.

Hang in there Brother, and make sure you take care of yourself to. Gabe is going to need you to be strong.

God Bless

Your in my thoughts man. Sorry just doesn’t seem like enough.

God damn I'm so sorry.
