I will do my best to follow your example in courage Neon. It is important. Not the lack of fear, but the willingness to carry on despite it.
Heart-rending is what your absence will be. But I am glad you will focus on what is most important to you and I am glad you have the opportunity to put things in order.
May you live every day to it's fullest. Thank you for sharing some of that most valuable of resources with us.

Will,
I hope you know that you've always had my respect as both an author and a person. If there's anything I could possibly do to help, even if it's but to proof read a story, you know you have but to ask.
Take Care,
Penny

Wills, amigo más querido,
Mat IM'd your news, the link to this thread. Already I recall, whilst reading—the shock, the brutal reality that hit me dead center and took my breath away, made the air painful and loathsome. I wrote something like “Fuck. Bugger. Crap.” After a few minutes I realized I felt too awful to continue chatting and Mat understood I needed to be alone.
Took my morning tea, sat under a palm tree in the soothing fog. Had a fag. Felt deeply.
Rather than send you a PM or email I’m posting this because I feel the need for community. (It’s usually the only reason I go to Mass.)
I am sorry I missed any earlier news you gave of your illness. I am still and more sorry we did not spend more time alone in Yorkshire, but I am still and most glad we met. You fit “Wills” superbly, a sweet surprise (second only to having that other bloke fit my expectations
). I've already gone back in my mind's eye to that Kettlewell road with those extraordinary clouds under that special heaven that is the Yorkshire sky. And that holiday bread! I've forgotten its name; it soothed me too the next morning when I had cause to be a little sad.
I am grateful for our early times on-line. You were the best “agony uncle” at the best and worst times for me. You were the best support when I struggled with what to do with my NaNo novel (still being worked, hahaha). You seemed to read me so well and ‘get’ me, and my writing, even knowing the differences ‘tween.
As for your writing, I'm going to reread you—for sheer pleasure (of the text, not sex, ah ha ha...)
I can only imagine what Time means to you now, but if you want to take a chance on spending (how simple a word's meaning becomes more weighted now…) a few minutes to write to me, I would welcome a personal message and would respond thoughtfully with real love. I want painfully to give you just a bit of anything you might want or need right now.
Shakespeare wrote of, "the tender leaves of hope". Be tender with yourself now, and with Inez.

Neon,
I'm so sad to read this news. I haven't been following a lot of threads the last year, so I missed your earlier posts. I was merely happy to see you had posted. Like meeting an old friend.
Although your message is not good, I'm glad I stumbled onto it. It gives me the chance to say how much I appreciated your input in that Challenge Thread. You always had encouragement and thoughtful comments for every one of us.
I hope you get the time to put things in order. The opportunity to do so is a precious one. But I read from your post, that you feel that way too. I wish you all the strength and courage you need to do what you have to.
If you ever want to vent, cry or laugh, you know how you can reach me.
Take care, sweet pastry man.

You should know by now that you have a special place in my heart. I was (and still am) hoping that the news would be better than you expected. It's hard to imagine a Lit without you, and though I know that you have more important matters to concern yourself with, I hope we still see you from time to time.
I'm saddened that so much physical distance separates us that we shall never be able to meet in person. I know the experience would be wonderful and you would be everything I expected in person and more. You've been such a dear friend, and I've missed you in your absences from the board and will continue to miss you as you take the time you need to set things in order.
I'm here for you anytime you need a friend. You will stay in my thoughts, and I wish you all the strength and peace that you should need during this time. Much love.

As an eternal optimist, I have to point out that there's many a slip that can be given to lots of conditions in this day and age. You have my best in the endeavor to kick this things ass.
Take care of business, neon. We'll be here when you can stop in.

My God. I would say that I am sorry, but your equanimity seems to be an example to us all. I am sorry on a purely selfish level, because you are a bloody good person and I am glad to know you. Gods bless you and keep you safe and I am thinking of you.

Words seem completely meaningless at a time like this. Thank you for sharing a part of your life with us. You may not remember it, but you were one of the first to offer advice on my writing. I've not forgotten it, or your stories of Portugal.
You will be missed.

Take care of yourself, sweets. You will be missed here dearly.
Thank's for all your wonderful thoughts
I've not been able to get near a computer for a few days so apologies for not replying sooner.
First of all, thanks for all the wonderful support and good wishes. I'm almost speechless.
My chest consultant has confirmed the diagnosis as asbestos exposure, however it is for the moment stable and I now enter upon a regime of 4 monthly check-ups to monitor progress. He was able to confirm that my loss of lung capacity is not connected with the asbestos exposure but may be a result of the viral infection over the summer that triggered off this whole event. I saw a neurological consultant last week and I will be having brain and spinal MIR scans on Monday - the idea being to eliminate the possibility of tumors on the main nervous system. Other than that, the neurologist is puzzled as to what has caused the nerve problem, other than it seems for the most part to have passed through my system. In four months time we will know if my lung capacity has improved, if not, I guess they will start looking again. So it's a 4 month revolving clock waiting for something to happen. In the meantime I have to start legal proceedings against people I worked for 37 years ago (who just happens to be my father) as there is a time limit for registering claims once asbestos exposure is diagnosed.
Last night I came back from Ireland where we wrapped up the art event I helped organise. It has been a huge success, 18 artists (painters, sculptors, musicians, poets, writers and installation and performance artists) prepared works. The show was on for a month with a two day forum way back in September. 25 schools had workshops around the theme of the exhibition and the gallery is offering the children a show in January. Highly pleased with the outcome, my wife's work may be coming to the States, a NY gallery is negotiating to show the video piece she made for the exhibition.
So I'm looking at the positives, stuff the asbestos, it will do what it wants to do, I don't have time to worry about it, there's NaNo next month and a website to re-design.
Will.
