Been having health issues for a while now.

Just got the news yesterday from my last test.

I officially got ****ing cancer in my gut.



Edit:
Sorry all,

Had a couple of days that weren't the best.

It was a swift reminder that I still have things to take care of.

My wife still needs to learn passwords, bills, etc. That got me thinking about what my "footprint" will look like when I'm gone.

I'm actually an intensely private person and I thought I've shared a tad much on here. At the same time I've got to talk to a lot of great people here and it does lift my spirits some when I see the positive posts from everyone.

Got rid of most of the pics etc.....the more I thought about it the more I felt selfish. CP has been my go to for 10+ years now and it didn't feel right to throw the C word out there and then just ignore it like it didn't happen.

Thanks,
HayWire

If haywire did pass, I’d love to read his obituary if anyone could find it.��

It's amazing how several of our CP brethren chronicled their final journey here as a mortal.

Lonewolf Ed was the first I remember.

We got some tough as nails great people on this board and wonderful people who support them.

God bless this place, even the trolls, mults and idiots.

Rest easy, my thoughts and prayers.

Don't worry, you'll be forgotten about too. As will we all.

The aged/dying: "there's nothing funny about it"

On a positive note.

You remembered him once he was mentioned. Once our fleeting lives are over, all you can hope for is to have had a positive/insightful impact on the people who knew you.

Seriously, can you delete these posts. Extremely disrespectful.
