Ouch. No amount of bracing really prepares you for this kind of news. I'm
sorry to hear this, but draw some happiness in the hope that he'll be
comfortable for the next few months.

Thanks, Ellie (and Sarah, of course) for corresponding his condition to us
over the past couple of weeks. I hope you and your family are doing as well
as possible.

On the bright side, he can finally meet Johnny Cash ;-)
