Thanks for the update. I tried calling him but no answer or text back when
he gave us his only contact number a while ago.

every day for the past several weeks. He was doing pretty well last
year when and June visited, but has deteriorated since then. At a
glance, he looks terrible — moving very slowly, frail, with a helpless
air — but is perfectly capable of holding a conversation and recalling
things. His balance and eyesight issues make it look worse than it may
actually be. He says he feels fine.

I had to pry a conversation out of him, but as I told , that might
simply be due to his lack of energy. He'll be re-evaluated at the end
of the month to see if the cancer has returned, etc. says he has
already outlived the typical lifespan of someone detected with his
particular cancer, the name of which I keep forgetting.

I suggested bringing him with me if/when I visit in Missouri
sometime this year, for a change of scenery. thought that was a
great idea, but he wasn't sure. You might want to call or email him
once in a while. He's not his old self but will probably appreciate
it. Of course, don't include this email if you email him. 🙂
