In the Spring of 1970, I was exposed to Agent Orange in Viet Nam. That exposure ultimately led to cancer. I have had good doctors and various treatments the past few years. Actually, I have lasted a good five or six years longer than I had expected. Now the cancer is at Stage IV. Things have become difficult.
As soon as I can manage to do so, I am now planning to move back to Southeast Texas to live in an assisted living facility.
The last few months I have been unable to properly care for the cats, so Lola and Lucas are living permanently full-time with Ex. They are nicely settled in, so the cats are well-taken care of.
This is my last blog posting. I want to sincerely thank everyone who has visited here over the years. Your comments have always been the best thing here. In addition, I have had the honor and privilege to have met several of my blog friends in person. For all of that, I am extremely grateful.

I have no words. I will miss you so much. And thank you so much for being my friend.
I wish the seasons wouldn't turn so quickly.

Oh! Sweetheart! I am so sorry it's come to this. But I do understand.You do know you can contact me any time.
And hey! I want to say thank you for all the giggles I've shared with you and some of the other bloggers. Every time the breeze blows the curtains and the little red and green men shake their booty I shall think of you.(I bet that gets the comments going into the stratosphere!)
... nein ! LẌ !!
Dear friend, thank you for all the entertainment and kindness over the years. I'll think of you every time I use the measuring cups and spoons you sent me - several times a week, they're in constant use (including this morning, in fact). I'll miss you and your blog. Much love and best wishes for not too tough a future challenge to face.
you are a dear friend to so many of us, and i also am so sorry to hear your news. Your green and red men march on my window sill keeping you in my thoughts. I'll miss you.
With much love Hxxx
You have been a good and dear friend to all of us, sweetheart. I will smile every time I pass In-N-Out and think of you! You have my heart. xoxo
You've meant the world to your blogging family, and I'm so,so fortunate that I had the opportunity to meet you here in Oz. Thank you for your years of friendship, my friend... I will never forget you. Go easy, LX. <3
Oh LX, I will miss you so much! I feel very privileged to have had you visit my home up here in Canada a few years ago, when I introduced you to Viking Cake and pickerel cheeks. You will be so missed by so many. Much love to you. xoxoxo
...and who will be our Valentine next year?!
Sx
I have enjoyed reading of your travels, thoughts, and experiences LX, and consider you a friend in our little corner of the internet. You will be missed. I wish you peace and serenity now, and for the rest of your days.
Well, who's going to to pilot the Space Shuttle on our next "outing" now? Or provide a safe haven on the shores of Lake Como upon our next visit? Or carry off an impossible umlaut?!?

I wish you peace and tranquillity, and I'll miss you, LẌ.
Your other cats are waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge, LX. They will be so happy to see you again. Wishing you a peaceful journey. xoxoxo
I'm stunned and sorry and so impressed with the graceful way you've shared such terrible news. Thank you sweetie.
It is The Mistress's turn to fluff YOUR pillows.
You should know that several people emailed me (tearfully) to tell me about this post. Just that alone goes to show how much you mean to us.
Very sad news, indeed. Safe journey, dear boy. Jx
I am so so sad and shocked to hear this! It has always been an honor and a pleasure to count you amongst my most beloved blogging buddies.
It was an honor to meet you in Seattle. You are in my prayers and heart.
If this is your attempt to get out of entering the 9th Annual Infomaniac Garden Photos Event, it stinks.
Oh no!!!!!!!! Not another one?!?!?!? What if we deport trump....will you say then? Or if I just fluff your pillows? Or if I fluff you????
Well, I wish you peace and happiness, and do pop in from time to time.
😥😥😥
I'm gutted.
I'm sorry to hear of this. Thanks for being part of this crazy blogosphere. Go in peace.
