Former Senator Ben Sasse

Sad.

May he live with minimal pain and, when the time comes, go in peace.

I had a good friend who had that. It is a difficult way to go. And equally traumatic for the caregiver(s) left behind.

[jodi]

But that is a very beautifully written post.

Grace under fire.

Great note. I am reminded why I have respect and even envy for genuine Christian belief.

Very nice note. I’d hope to have similar strength and humor and honesty if put in a similar situation.

I understand that completely. I often wish I had a stronger faith. I do not disavow the spiritual, nor assert that we are all there is. I just find it hard to adhere to what someone else tells me it is.

A life well lived. Like him or not he was there to do his best for what he believed in and he did just that. God bless him.

[jon-nyc]

He's handling it as well as anyone could.

A Stanford oncologist chimes in.

Let’s hope we have 1/10th his sense of humor when we’re staring death in the face.

Hahaha brilliant

God, the comments are awful. We've really become the ugly Americans.

Maybe the ugly comments are from bots controlled by stinkin' foreigners?

[jon-nyc]

Best comment.

OKay. Explain to me the joke.

It's pretty obscure and not quite as funny as people are saying (he's getting an impending mortality bump). Trump said that Pence needed the courage to not certify the 2020 election results, which in Trump's addled mind would have led to Trump retaining the presidency. (It wouldn't have.)
