a father's lament

(these are the words of my father and he asked me to post this for him)

It has been a long road for all of us and for many of you who have followed along this path with us. Each time someone asks us about Josh and how he is doing I know you, as well as we, want so desparately to hear, "He's getting better!" We have no such news. Daily we see his condition slip as the cancer continues to spread and the pain increases and the medicines that help relieve the pain place an added burden of taking away his ability to stay lucid and coherent. Lynne will go back up again on Monday and with help of hospice care for him as only she can. We continue to appreciate your support and prayers and will keep you posted as often as we can. Love Lynne and Abe
