Sunday Reflection: A week with IPLawGuy
Readers of the Razor know who IPLawGuy is: he's my best friend, from the time we met 45 years ago. He's been a wonderful friend-- not only to me, but to so many others. Here on the Razor, he is the most frequent commenter, and a haiku regular. And-- here on father's day-- it's important to note that he is a great father not only to his own three kids but to a lot of others through Scouting.
I spent Monday-Friday of this past week in DC with him. He was just diagnosed with an inoperable glioblastoma, a stage IV brain cancer that is aggressive and ... well, you can look it up.
Like most people, I struggle with what to say and what to do in light of this. But, of course, anything is probably worthwhile as long as I remember this is about Tom and not about me or anyone else.
I believe in both prayer and science. Tom is receiving a lot of prayers, and will get the best medical care available. He lives near good hospitals and doctors, fortunately.
For now, that is what I know-- but I will follow up as things proceed. And for now, let's be gentle with one another.
