The melanoma community has been part of my social network for the last few years and I have followed other blogs to learn treatments options and just get support. Some of the bloggers became friends while others never knew I followed their fight. Unfortunately many of the patients have become melanoma angels just like John. I am posting a blog address that really touched me this week. Jeff Dodd was 37 with a family of 4 young children. He left a letter for his final blog entry after he died. His wife posted it this week. I found it helpful to read because it gave me a perspective that I hope John had for the final months of his life. It is worth the time to read. It is posted under September 25, after a short update by his wife.

Thank you for sharing Jeff's blog -what a powerful writer he is and certainly gave his readers much to think about! I believe John in his own deep way processed his situation in a manner befitting him.
I have had the privilege to be available to some close friends and my Mom who were able to share with me parts of their journey to leave this life. It certainly gave me a fresh perspective on life and built my faith in the process. I continue to thank you for all you let us see you go through in your grieving process - and this too continues to give me a better perspective and builds my faith.
Loving you!
