I know it was God's plan for me to design this and both help people and and be helped. I realized that very early on people like Artie who has been here from the beginning. I am so thankful for people like you, Patti (a personal friend) and others who comment that I never even knew followed my blog. At a minimum, I am humbled by the above. To have people that many times I don't even know offering their support and prayers is really an amazing thing when you think about it. Cancer and other diseases really bring people together. It's too bad that this togetherness doesn't exist to a large extent in the world until people are in dire straits and begin to cling to God. I along with many here have brain tumors with very poor prognosis but I am blessed. I am blessed with many things in my life at its core with all God, my family and people. That's what it's about. I've said it before --- it's not about me. I think all of you for the comments above. Time to march ahead and your prayers help tremendously. God Bless To all:

How can I possibly fathom the choices you and your family have been forced to make? Seems like anything I could say would be a worthless platitude without any real meaning. So coward that I am, I walked away for a few days. As I prayed and pondered life, death and God, I came to the realization that over the years you've shared a bit of your heart though your blog and I know that you are not alone in your walk. Not that I didn’t already know that, but the Spirit reminded me. I keep you lifted up in prayer and know for certain you have blessed many with your courage and faith. The ability to put one foot in front of the other without allowing bitterness to steal precious time is indeed a gift. Continued prayers brother. PS: Your anti-spam word always ministers to me. Is that intentional on your part? Mark – I took a deep breath as I read your post and then words abandoned me. How can I possibly fathom the choices you and your family have been forced to make?

That is good. My husband and I are also looking at quality of life issues. Cancer has taken away our joy, and we are claiming that back. We want to celebrate every day. I will continue pray for you, and everyone who has been touched by cancer. Mark, It sounds like you are at peace. That is good. My husband and I are also looking at quality of life issues.

I will be very sad to walk out of my office every day and look down the hall and see a closed door and dark office, but will think of all of the wonderful times and memories you are creating with your family. I hope you have a lot of fun and find some fun and exciting things to do and create wonderful wonderful memories. We all need to remember to do that regardless of our situations. Take care Mark - you are already missed! Deanna Mark – myself, along with your entire “work” family will miss you terribly, but know that this is the right decision for you and your family.

The decision to leave your job must have been difficult to make, but it seems to me that you've thought it through and have come to the right decision. I hope you have some AWESOME trips and make some terrific memories for all. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your beautiful family. Mark,
