108. This is so heartbreaking.
There are no words to express how sorry I am to read about your difficult position.

My mother, who had breast cancer & a mastectomy in 2000, got deathly sick after her first chemo treatment. A day after, I was called to come to her home; she was curled up in her bed & unresponsive, just faintly breathing, with an ambulance on the way to take her to the emergency room.

She had caught a virus at the hospital, apparently, but was in the hospital for a month, due to complications.

Much later on, she said something I’ll never forget. When she was curled up in bed, in her own little world, she was close to death & she had seen “the light”. She said she was so peaceful during that time, that she’ll never be afraid to die.

You’ve listed many significant things you were afraid that you’d taken for granted, but just acknowledging these things to us shows that you already are appreciative of them.

I hope you find comfort & support to help you through this. I’m going to pray for you, Tucker.
