    Craig, I have no idea what to say...but what Rex said.

    The words I want to post are not allowed under our forum rules. They are short four letter words and Anglo-Saxon in nature. You probably have voiced them yourself of late.

    Sending up billows of smoke for you my friend. Know you'll make your peace.

    Know pancreatic cancer all too well and you're right, most sadly its a fast one, don't waste a second.

    Know you'll live forever on this board...an icon of kilted wisdom and fun.

    Hugging you, sniveling, and laughing a bit too. You're off to the Great Mystery sooner than you'd planned, but we'll all catch up soon enough. Gotta be kilted on the other side...send us back a sign.

    Mucho JuJu your way my friend.

    Cancer is horrid and a lottery as to whether you get it or which kind you get.

    When I was diagnosed I was told I had "drawn the short straw" yet mine was treatable and worth the 6 months of hell when I went through the chemo.

    Yours sounds a shorter straw than mine was but I learnt to value each day and not take them for granted.

    The battle is always worth it and you will be in my thoughts and hopes to win yours.

    Craig, I really don't know what to say. I try to put words down and they sound hollow and superficial.
    I know there is nothing I can say to "make it better," but all I know how to do from here is keep you in my prayers.

    And you are in my prayers. Of course I pray for a miracle, but I also pray for you to beat the odds, I pray for you to keep the strength and the sanity to fight the fight that's ahead. I pray that you keep the things that make you "you" through this ordeal.

    My prayers are with you... for sanity, for wise choices for you and your family, for readiness for eternity. You truly get to live each day as though it were the last; sad but precious days. Embrace those around you. Thanks for letting us "embrace" you here.
