My husband lost his mother three years ago to cancer. She was diagnosed in August and gone by the end of March. It is a horrible, wicked disease—a disease that can be wholly unpredictable. I completely understand your decision, and any fan who has been through something similar holy shit, any human being with a modicum of a soul will understand. Be with those you love. Let everyone you love know it, and often. And hang in there, woman. Amanda, never be sorry for doing the right thing, ever. We are all here with you, every step of the way, waiting to catch you if ever you should fall.

The way you have done for so many of us so many times, and will continue to do for a very long time. In the recent weeks since I have discovered you I have laughed, loved, and cried with you.

My heart and best wishes go out to his family and friends at this terribly difficult time. When my mom was dying of cancer, I brought her to Boston. Boston has some of the BEST cancer doctors in the world. They extended her life by 2 years, which were two of the best and most painful years of my life. And when someone is there to hold your hand when the nurse walks away, that touch is the only thing that matters. My grandmother passed away from cancer on September 22nd, the morning of your Phoenix show that I had tickets to, and so very much wanted to go to.

But I was in LA, saying goodbye to the strongest woman in my life. I was so looking forward to the show, and cancer got in the way. It has a bad habit of doing that. And I greatly support the decision to be with Anthony during this time. We could bring books for him. Thank you for being such a positive light in all of our lives. Hope and positive thoughts to your friend. I saw you perform sick but stellar in TO, and you energized that room despite the fact. Focusing your abundance of energy on Anthony during treatment seems beautiful, selfless, compassionate and right.

Thanks for being so honest and for making the toughcalls easier. You are doing the right thing! I think the lyrics say it all! You can hold your head high! We love you Amanda! Numbering helps me make my points without having to introduce or connect them in any way. This decision reminds me of the reasons I like you as a person AND artist. I admire your courage and humanity.

Reading your blog, I inexplicably thought of this piece: I hope to meet you someday. Good luck to you and Anthony. You need to do what you need to do. I lost my husband after a long sickness. I was not able to take much time off work. I would not wish that on anyone. You NEED to be there. I missed three days of work in two months, all because my grandmother was crippled by small cell cancer.

But I gave them a big middle finger and hugged my Grammy. Miraculously, Grammy has recovered almost completely from the dementia and is now out of the hospital and wheeling her happy body around the house. I took all of this as beauty, as part of the process. My point is simple: You are beautiful, and you are beautiful for doing this. Sending love to you, Neil, Anthony and his family at this tough time.

And this is why I love you so much! It helps, just a little. Best of luck to Anthony, my heart goes out to you both. Your songs sink deeper and deeper into my heart every time I listen. I have just spent the last 18 months caring for my husband, who died of cancer on August 31, You will never regret taking this time and being there…you will not lose anyone of importance because you made this choice…and you will forever love yourself and be loved by anyone who has ever been in your position for choosing to do what you need to do for yourself and someone you love.

The first before he got sick…taking photos, which he loved. The second, about half way through his journey, checking out his new recliner, the last place he slept The third, he and I together in March of last year…after his surgery, but before radiation and chemo began…a great Sunday afternoon with friends. And lastly, the last photo ever taken of him…waiting in a big, comfy chair for the contrast to circulate before his last PET scan.

This was two weeks before he passed away. Lots of love, prayers, light and hugs for Anthony, you and your families. Sending you love and courage for the journey ahead. When my father was diagnosed with cancer, I quit my job and moved provinces within two weeks, spending weeks, sometimes months with him. I am so thankful for all of the time I had with him when he and my mom needed me most. So much love to you, Amanda. It makes me respect you more as a person to know that you are devoted to being there for the people you care about. Thanks for laying out for everyone your reasons and helping people understand who you are and what matters to you.

Best wishes for Anthony. The people who are precious to you in your life have to come first. I wish strength to you and Anthony during this difficult time. Do what you need to do, Amanda. We will wait for you. You and your music were here for me when I lost my husband to cancer. But I heard one song, then another, then had to buy the album, and another, and start following your posts…fuck I blame you for making me join twitter I held out for so long, but I am a twit, or a twat, or whatever now, thankyouverymuch.

I have been really sick the past few months, on top of struggling with the semester, and your music has kept me sane.

You helped me through it all not to be dramatic or anything. Friendships are so strong, yet so fragile at the same time, we must do what is needed for those we love dearest. My thoughts of strength and loveliness thrown out to the universe, for you and yours. I have recently gone through cancer myself, being the direct victim if you will.

The worst part for me away from the physical side of things were the times when my loved ones were not around.

Conversely, the best times were when my wife, mum, brother in-laws were with me and had smiles on their faces. At those times it meant that I was entertaining, not sick. All the best to you. Your fans will understand. Maybe sooner, maybe later, but they will. Tidings of comfort and joy, and all that. I know it must mean so deeply to him to have you be there, to be his rock. A kind of role reversal for you two, from what I gather. My heart sank and my face grew a stony worried impression as he was describing what the boys were doing.

But to see him flash back in that instant of what happened, to literally see him shoot back to that exact moment of being a young boy, scared and unable to protect something so dear to him, to fight for it…it was fucking powerful. A proper introduction, at least. I bought his book. It came in the mail this past week. Not just from a moral standpoint.

Your brain would get all kerfuffled. Having followed your career for several years now I was so excited to finally see you live on your last night in Boston. I will confess that, having only heard your recorded music and watched your videos when my crap-ass country internet would let me load them, that I was much more enthralled and inspired by the way that you were propelling your art forward than anything else and I wanted to support you in that. I got the album through the kickstarter and enjoyed it tremendously, but it did not prepare me for the vastness of your presence as a live performance artist.

Watching you from the balcony I was over the moon as a fan, so jazzed, so happy, so enlivened. But the mother in me was also just stunned at what it must be like to try and fit the enormity of your vision and drive and talent in that one, small mortal frame.

Maybe you need a nap? And so I am glad that you are making this choice, for Anthony and for yourself. Sometimes we have to submit to the boundaries of time and space and mortality. Allowing ourselves to feel the weight of it is what puts our feet firmly on the ground so we have the power to love deeply and forever.

Sometimes we just have to stay put and trust that the world will still be there when we get back. I am sending you so, so much love and strength and courage. Love and hold each other. Best and hardest choice you will make and for what its worth you have made the right one. Best of luck to you both. People forget artists are human. I hope this year brings you both what you need and what you deserve, especially in each other. We were there, at the reading.

I laughed and nodded and commiserated with his first story, about the food. For me it was Irish, and I was beaten not for refusing food, but for sneaking other food and getting fat, but man did I relate. Anyway, he and my partner had a nice moment so I just went with it, but still regret losing my words. I get it, I absolutely get it.

Snapped this pic while waiting in line, I like it, both of you side-by-side, interacting with fans. Thank you for this Amanda, your self-assurance is so inspirational. You definitely made the right decision. Amanda, I lost my boss early this year to cancer. He was an amazing human being and a great mentor to me. I tried to be there for him all that I could, and the last time I saw him, because we both knew it would be our last moments together, we were able to say goodbye. I have lost two friends who died in accidents and I would give anything in this world to have one last goodbye with them like I did with my boss.

You are not coming to Mexico soon, so I am not affected by your decision at all, but just like with Fiona she was coming, and I was going to see her it is even ridiculous to say I understand. It is the obvious thing to do. I hope Anthony gets better, and be strong. But my mom, this subject 7 years later tears me up. So go, Take all the time you need, its where you need to be, I wish i could have been as strong as you. Amanda, no one ever regrets the time invested and spent with the ones we love. Be brave and strong. Prayers for you both from Tennessee. Having the opportunity to be there for a friend no matter what the outcome, OR human or animal will make all the difference in their world and yours.

Always follow your heart and your future will be there for you. Sunshine and peace, and love in dark times, Vx. You took a chance and won! You have put yourself out there love you or not! You are so strong and brave because you can and have admitted things and feelings most could never speak and you did that for all of us to hear. You have shared yourself through your journey of life. And for some that is super hard. I believe that is why you have fans that will not shit on you when you are down and cancel.

We appreciate all you do as an artist. We will be here supporting you in all the ways we know how and we will continue to support you when you return to the fast life. Anthony, You and all those that love him will be in my thoughts. A ticket can be refunded, a show can still happen, there are solutions. Losing someone you love is the most painful thing. I lost a dear friend to cancer. I still have regrets, we should have hung out more, I should have called him more. The most painful thing. If you can stay with Anthony, stay with him.

Tell him you love him. Every day, every night. The rest can wait. We DO know you. And we DO love you that much. You are beautiful, you are a pure human being and we will be waiting when you come back. Peace to you and Anthony.

Your dear friend needs you. I was looking forward to see you with my ears.. I had breast cancer 2 years ago, on the day before Christmas Eve, I will celebrate my life.. Sending out love, hugs and healing vibes to you and Anthony. I would give almost anything to have him back. I say almost anything, because I would not give up the ones I still have. I always knew you were a great artist. Love to Anthony and to you. Take care of yourself. This fan can wait. Taking care of yourself now significantly increases the chances of me blasting the nursing home with your latest album 40 years from now.

My mom is dying of cancer right now and here you are going through the same thing right on cue. I first heard you at the very darkest point in my life. I was 13, being abused, and hurting myself. My only escape was to lock myself in the bathroom where I slept so I could be safe and play your songs that I had recorded off your website onto a 25 cent tape recorder I found at a garage sale.

You were the only constant when I left at 14 and my adopted mormon parents thought you were evil and took your cds and burned them. I bought your first CD six times. You were there when I got sent to live at a hospital for 2 years when I was 15, when I went back to where I started when I was When I finally broke free and left and quit harming myself when I was 18 and through my adult life till now Good luck with your friend. Go into this deep, dark, mysterious area of life guided by the light of our love and support. I wish all the best to Anthony, you, and your families.

My husband and I have lost too many people this year—one of the reasons we missed your Atlanta show—so I understand this completely. If you have the ability to be with this person and help them, that is what you should do. Do what needs to be done. Take care of yourself and your friend. This is the hard work, the real work. Everything else should fall away. A friend I lost touch with 16 years ago who was also my first love was murdered a month ago. Shot for just three pizzas. I will regret losing touch forever.

Cry day for me too. I thank Anthony for helping to make you the person who choices love and life. This is why we are all here and stand in silent prayer in the shadows of your vigil. Hey coming from Wellington, we owe you for all the years you have come. I have seen you more often then local bands, no one else comes that often. SO thank you for that and I hope your dear friend gets better and you relax and enjoy being home. Be happy, Be happy. Amanda — having watched in my 36 years on this earth as my father, sister, brother, best friend and goddaughter have all struggled through, and so far won, the battle against cancer, I so admire you for what you are doing.

Its an amazing sacrifice, but one that we do for people we truly care about. I eagerly will be waiting on the other side, whatever the outcome, to hear the music, to surf the crowd and to be in your prescense again. And, as a matter of fact, for the kind of person you are, there was no choice. And i do think none of us, your fans, would.

You would need to ask us for forgiveness if youhad decided to leave you friend to follow your carrier, but for this? Dear, no need at all. Your decision just make us love and admire you more. And make us proudly be here, sitting on our chairs, to wait for your return, with all of your nobleness and known human being-ness.

Go there take care of your dear friend because all the others, all the known and unknonw fan friends will be here for whenever you need support and strength to face this moment, giving back all the love and respect you always shared with us. Keep on being brave and wish you the best for both of yoit u. Friendship and the true love of our loved ones is the most precious gift we can get from life. It was so exciting!

Amanda, you have been taking care of us for years. Go take care of your friend. Amanda, I totally get it… my brother and best friend was diagnosed with Leukemia in … he lived in a city a couple hours away from me and so I quit my job and moved myself to be closer to him during his treatment. I have always admired you but now more so than ever before. Best of luck to your friend Anthony, I truly hope he makes it through this like my brother did 6 years with no relapse! You have changed my life. It was your music that brought me back into the music of living life.

You deserve to live yours and keep your own music flowing as beautifully in your mind and in your heart as it flows through your actual music. This may not make sense. Thank you for existing. Love, love, love and lots of energy for the days ahead. May that blessing give you strength. Goddess likes us to grow. Kahlil Gibran says our quivering branches go to the shaken roots.

Anthony might be fine- you never know. Amanda, know in your heart that you are doing the right thing for both yourself and for Anthony. I have to believe in my heart of hearts that your fans will understand and have all the more respect for you for this decision I know I do.

Often people choose to err on the side of fulfilling their professional obligations, assuming their friends and family will always be there. But, they might not be. You are doing a very courageous and honorable thing by choosing to cancel your tour dates and spend time with your friend to help him to endure his struggle with cancer. I hope you and your loved ones enjoy a special holiday together this year.

For those of you who celebrate, that is. Thank you, that you stay with your friend. I like your music, but I love you for being a friend to Anthony, instead of being a rockstar. Maybe, ther eis a little chance, you loose the momentum you build the last months. But for sure you will gain so much more. Thx and best wishes and feelings for you two. I send love to you Amanda Palmer and I respect and understand why you would clear room for your loved ones in your life. Do we need our musicians to live unsatisfied and unhealthy lives just for our amusement? I think you are taking a good step in the right direction and we will all be there for you when you come back.

You took my comment right out of my…keyboard? Through the party on the internet, I connected with awesome people that made me feel less alone when I was going through friend shit and felt like I had next to no one. Your blogs, tweets, Tumblr, the album, everything has all contributed to that, too. When I heard that the shows had been postponed today I was annoyed to be honest, my self and a friend speculated why this decision was made.

You take all of the time that you need. Be close to your friend, hold him, sing to him, laught with him. I know what it is like to have someone that you love taken away and I will never begrudge you any amount of moments you may have left. I hope that they are years and years more, but with what your friend is facing that is never certain. We will be here, I know that I will — regardless of how long. I will also be are your concert when you come to play, and I have no doubt you will.

I admire your bravery and your loyalty to your friend. He is lucky to have you and I hope he makes a recovery. I was perhaps thirteen, and it never really hit me, because a I was so young and b I was absolutely terrible with girls and tended to simply run away from her whenever I saw her, I was so nervous. I would do the same thing, were it one of my friends, the ones I love so very much. Just know that we are all here for you and we are all forgiving and we all love you. You are taking a step back, selflessly, and taking care of someone you love.

I wish you and your friend the best, and as many good days as you can possibly have together. When I first started reading the blog, I immediately thought of Becca, then I read more, and saw you did too. I re-read her emails, texts, listen to her voicemails and look at photos all the time. I too was texting her shortly before she passed. We were planning a meet up in NYC, it had been so long since I had seen her. Also because of recording and so on. And before I knew it, my best friend had suddenly and soul shakily left this earth in her sleep.

Nothing has ever been as hard as losing B, and I so I feel for you on so many levels. Both being so close to her, and how you must be feeling now with your friend Anthony not being well. Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery.

But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.

But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Strive to be happy. I wish you the best of luck on this journey, and send miracle healing vibes to Anthony. My love to you and all. Popping my posting cherry and swallowing my dislike of random internet messaging.

AFP, you are showing amazing integrity as an artist, and as a human being. Not sure which is more rare these days. I doff my cap with much respect. Meine Freundin und ich sind in dem Konzert in Amsterdam gewesen. Es war, auch wenn Du Dich selbst angespornt hast — oder gerade deswegen — zu sehen, dass es Dir nicht gut ging. Es hat uns so sehr leid getan….

I am so sorry to hear about his current situation. Cancer is a terrible disease. But it shows just how big your heart it is Amanda. You always put everybody else before yourself. And it shows through in your amazing music. Your music and your wonderful fans will be there when you get back. But please know that we totally understand that everything else is secondary when it comes to friends and family.

I am sending you thoughts, prayers and as many good vibes as possible. Anthony is very lucky to have a loving friend like you in his corner. As a homebound patient living with a debilitating chronic illness, I just wish I had a friend like you. Aside from my loneliness, I genuinely worry that someday when I am gone, these people who love me will be angry with themselves and wish they took those couple of hours to be here with me when they had a chance.

I think you are definitely doing the right thing. When you are sick like I am, your world becomes very small, and the lack of energy limits your ability to participate. You quickly learn to cut all the bullshit and focus on what and who really matters. One extremely valuable one is this: The ones who really love and understand or try to understand you will accept you as is. I wish your friend good health, and again, if only we could all be so lucky to have a friend like you by our side.

Everyday I see people struggle to find the 24 hour support system they need during treatment. I applaud you, and wish your friend strength, peace, and most of all a success. Darling, this got me in tears! I have been in love with you and your music since my lil freshmen highschooler self discovered Half Jack and finally felt like someone understood me. Ur right, ur NOT letting us down. U are making the BEST decision and it will work itself out. We will wait for you, we will always stand by your side.

That will never change. Not some celebrity puppet. Take time off and make the most of this time. Everything happens for a reason, love. Ur friend dying so randomly was a sign — learn from it. You do whatever you have and need to do. We will still be here whenever it is you decide to tour again. Ten years ago I lost my Mother to cancer and regret is not something I ever wanted to live with. You are right—you are right about your decision, and you are right about your fans. If anyone would understand, it is they we!

We love you, not only because you are a great artist, we love you mainly because you are a great person. We would not except you to act differently. Take care of your friend, and our best wishes will be with both of you. My best to you and Anthony. I sincerely wish you — and Anthony — all the strength in the world. When I was sixteen, in high school, going through some incredibly painful shit myself, I got word from my stepmother that my father was very ill.

No one knew to screen blood back then. This was excruciating and painful—I was alone, I was a teenager, I was surrounded by his ex-wife and her family, all of whom hated me with a near insane intensity. I cried, a lot. I heard a lot of family secrets that were designed to twist the knife.

But I also spent time with my father. I got him water to drink. I sat by him when he slept. We were finally able to talk, a little. Yeah, some of your fans are going to bitch. But this is who you are. You have always gone from town to town and touched people, made new friends, cycled in and out of lives, picking up the threads of connection as you go. So yeah—drop everything, be with him. And most of us, Amanda? My heart goes out to your friend Anthony. That you can be there for him is an incredible gift. Thank you for that comfort you are giving him. I can only hope that I will have such comfort on my last days.

As you know, in your heart. We will be here, with and for you, during and after. My grandfather died three years ago from a cancer that had been missed by the country hospital he was attending for over a year for back pain [a tumour was growing close to his spine and finally crushed a vertebrae].

I feel like that year was stolen from us. When he was finally sent up to the city hospital he was immediately diagnosed and put into Palliative Care. My grandfather lived km south of Perth, Western Australia. I lived km north. Other members of the family lived elsewhere in Australia or the world.

Thankfully we all got back in time before he died, but I still feel cheated about that last year. You are being a loving, supportive friend, helping Anthony through one of the hardest moments in his life. If it all goes well, your friendship will be stronger than ever. I understand that you want to be with Anthony. If I had a sick friend I would do the same. My grandmother died two days ago. I held her hand. She was getting weaker since last Saturday and said that she wanted to see me one more time.

I am scared of seeing sick people, because it reminds me of how short life is, of how quickly it can be over. It was so selfish of me, I know. If your dying grandmother wishes to see you one more time, you hop on a train, take two buses to get to her and you hold her hand until she is gone. If you want it or not. But I was there and she was leaving, so I held her and cried until the sheets were all wet. Because it was the right thing to do. I feel you should come with Fiona next year to South America.

Dropped everything to take care of my forever-bestest friend after she was diagnosed with inoperable brain tumor — she died 5 months later, Christmas Eve Again to take care of my Mom, multi-complications illness, she died Oct So much death, yes. But also, so much life.

Raw and broken, heart-full, sooo fucking much gratitude. Not one single regret for any of it. You and Anthony have both chosen your friends wisely. Love and strength to both of you, for as long as the next breath keeps coming and beyond. Reading that made me shed a little tear which is rare. Some things you just have to do. It is totally understandable. All my friends and I love you! Anyone important to you is important to us. I have many friends who have or had cancer.

But I had to share this with you, and I hope you do not mind. A few years ago a friend of mine was diagnosed with cancer. She was such an amazing woman, it was hard to believe something like this could happen. She had this… strength, this…. She seemed almost immortal. Cancer was just such a… a human disease for her to get, and I thought she would beat it like she has everything else. At first it looked like she was going to. Everything started coming back fantastically. I thought… surely she was going to beat this.

She came out of it the day before my daughter was born, and called me at the hospital. Instead of talking about her experience, she was asking how I was doing, how my daughter was doing, etc. I always planned on taking a trip up there to see her. But I thought I had all the time in the world.

The truth is I was afraid to see my beloved friend in that state, and I really did think I had all the time in the world. A few days later, she passed away. It was so sudden, I just remember staring at the phone for hours, unable to comprehend that she was gone. I will always carry this, I think. I could have hugged her, and told her in person that I love her. That opportunity is gone. NO ONE deserves to carry that kind of guilt around with them. You are absolutely right.

FWIW, you and Anthony will also be in my thoughts, prayers, and just held close in my heart. Thank you for being faithful. If we did not have friends to care for, the world would be a very lonely place. It actually made me proud that you would be so selfless and caring, that you would rather support Anthony through the shitness of chemo than make money and have success and fame. I just want you to be there for him.

He is obviously one of the most important people in the world for you, and it makes me admire you more that you put him over everything else. Three weeks ago he pretty much just woke up and was his normal self, apart from all the horrific injuries, scalping-by-tree included. My mother thinks I am irresponsible and ridiculous, spending my savings travelling 4 hours to Sydney every weekend to see him, but I would rather be penniless and be there for Liam than the alternative.

Your fans love you and I promise you we will be here when you return. Those of us who have been here for years, and the new ones who find you every day, will wait for you because you are worth it. You let us in to your life and never once held us at arms length. I have waited to see you since I became a fan in You are doing what is right.

Often it happens that a choice gives us a momentary heartbreak. It is important to identify momentary heartbreaks from the ones that stay with you, and I am sure than a year or two from now, when this whole thing is past and the tour has been given, you will be relieved that you chose what you did, and this momentary heartbreak will have vanished, to be replaced by that relief. I wish I could hug you now, but I know some day I will anyway.

It was the love of friends and family that were by his side as he fought cancer. I only wish I would have spent more moments with him. You will not regret your decision and I hope that your love helps give Anthony the strength to win his battle. Dear Amanda, It is from my point of view absolutely normal that in a moment like this you choose to be where your heart tells you that you need to be.

I agree with other people that say: Not only you are a talented musician and performer, you are also an amazing human being and both reasons are equally important at least to me as a fan: I, for my part, will go on reading and enjoying! But for now, all my love to you and Anthony in the times to come. Just to tell you that I was among the fans who purchased a ticket. I really get how it is, seeing a loved one going to a struggle against cancer.

My stepmom has been fighting for five years, going in and out of all kinds of different treatments. We had a big party. My mother and her two baby sisters were welcomed without hesitation into a home full of love. For fifty years my grandmother loved three girls-ladies-women as though they were her own.

She taught me some of my favorite swear-words, long before I had permission or cause to use them. Growing up, the story of how my mother and aunts went to live with my grandmother was told as matter-of-fact. The stories of our family are ultimately the stories of us.

They teach us how we came to be, in every meaning possible. Looking back, I realize with breathtaking appreciation that the story of my Murph teaches me that I come from a rare sort of love.

Uma oração a ter presente constantemente no coração:

A feet-on-the-ground, catch-you-if-you-fall sort of love. The sort of love that comes from the deep well of our shared humanity, no matter our biological origin. To be able to say goodbye, say thank you, say I love you again — I would give everything. I like it quite a lot. It hits me right in the feels. So you will go be with Anthony. We reach out and grab hold. I spent a good portion of my pre-teen and teen years taking care of my nana, and at that age there were times that wanted to be doing other things but looking back I cherish every memory.

Every time I checked that oxygen machine, every time I tried to get her to eat, every time she yelled at me from her confused Alzheimers state, and every song she sang to me. This is the real-est thing you can do, the only real and honest option in this situation. I am lucky in that I am still going to see you on NYE, but you know what, if something happens and you feel the need to change that plan as well, I will continue to applaud you.
