And proceeded to share that he has a quite advanced case of cancer. Sort of a "farewell tour" in case treatment is unsuccessful.
"Wished he'd been a better husband...glad I have such a good man in the second marriage...thanked me for being who I am, and such a good mother to his kids" etc.
With new treatments such as they are, I hope it is not as dire as he feels it is. But one just never knows.

So much sadness... hugs to you east.
And to you, view. Always makes us sad to see our children sad. Hopefully he can find help.

Hey Booky,
What did you think of AGT last night? I think it was great, so many good acts this year......although, for some strange reason, I think a singer will win this year. 
Friendship is a priceless gift that can't be bought or sold, its value is far greater than a mountain made of gold.
May this FriendSHIP always have wind in its sails and a sunrise on the horizon.

That must have been a very poignant moment for the two of you, View. I hope all goes well with his cancer treatment plan.
Yes, Booky, it was. Would have been more so, if it had not been such a surprise. I was sort of in shock, and related that with the successful battles with cancer in the family lately, perhaps he should be more optimistic...etc. I just spoke to my son who because of his work is on his way to Minneapolis and coincidentally his dad is there also for a biopsy and testing. So he will have a chance to spend some time, and get some information.
His mother and dad lived well in to their 80's...his one grandmother lived to be 104 ! So, sadly, probably another example of what smoking and other excesses do to your life expectancy.
