He loves it. He sent me the nicest note telling me that it's the most beautiful and special gift he's ever received in his life. Since he's a hair over 60, I took that as a real compliment. He's a lovely man, and right now, he's doing well. The cancer isn't getting worse, but it will never be gone. He's in pretty intense pain every day, but still lives to the fullest. Not much choice...he has kids the same age as ours (11 and 8) so he's got his hands full! He and his wife are just good people, and I'm so happy they are in our lives. good friends, and all I can do is hope he's comfortable, and that he can live as long as possible. Can't imagine those kids losing their father, or my girlfriend losing her husband.
