First, a message from Brian:
Greetings...and farewell. I hope and believe that I'll be forgiven by all of you whom I didn't contact personally since the diagnosis of my cancer. The hardships of treatment combined with the pressures of preparation for my operation left little time to collect thoughts and calm, and I simply couldn't make all the calls and write all the letters it would have taken to contact everyone for whom I care and who, I know, cares for me. You were in my thoughts, and now I'm in yours; that will have to suffice us in this imperfect world. Your good thoughts and prayers would be welcome now no less than when I was alive. I hold it as an article of faith that there are many paths to the Light, and one day we'll get to do the catching up we missed this time around. My love and best wishes to all. My life, even these last days, has been one of exceptional good fortune, luminous joys and gifts, and the people who came to be important to me were foremost among these. Until we meet again... BRIAN |
