Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Bob’s dad passed this morning. He’d started hospice at home last week and deteriorated pretty rapidly. Fortunately, Bob went out there last Thursday and stayed so he was there. Dad was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer about 2 years ago and did shockingly well with chemo for over a year.
I'm sorry about Bob's dad, but I appreciate you sharing this, lisah. I shared it with Lola (who also has Stage 4 Pancreatic Cancer) and she replied, "I'll take two years!"
I'm just trying to get her to focus on getting through the first round of chemo and seeing how her body responds.

Lola and her family are lucky to have you, David. I’m glad to have given her a little hope.

I'm sorry, lisah.
Response to chemo is an individual thing. My neighbor and his partner were told to get his affairs in order because he would not survive, and he was in dire shape for a long time, but he recovered. Lifetime changes with severe diabetes and significant fatigue, but his cancer is gone. Maybe 6 years now? I've known too many others who couldn't tolerate the treatment. There is no way to predict in advance.

So I just found out that my back door neighbor for 20 years died yesterday of cancer. She was Bobby's second mom. Her son officiated Bobby's wedding, and the reception was at her home. It was apparently very sudden, or she kept it very private. A few years ago her elderly mom moved in with them, and she is still alive. I'm broken hearted for her family, and Bobby, as he loved her so much. I sent a message to Bobby, but I doubt I will hear from him. This is a big shock.

Yep, I am far north of there as are Lisa and Sara. Both of them I believe work from home.
