Hamada has spoken very little during the last two days, managing only to smile and greet the family who have all been here at "Hemingway" this weekend. I know by his smiles that he has enjoyed so much, seeing them all during this bittersweet weekend.
Jo gave his father a wonderful shave, something that I was not managing to do very well! It was a wonderful time of family closeness. I received some of the best much needed hugs, which have given me more courage to continue after this long worrying week.

Dear Susie – My heart aches for all of you and I am helpless to control my tears. My hope is there will be many more special moments in the time left, however long that may be. I won’t repeat Jo’s expression the other day, but he is so right!! I pray for peace and comfort be with both you and Hamada. With Love always, Lora

Oh Susie. Our precious men have traveled such similar paths along their MM journeys. My heart breaks for you, while also being grateful that Hamada was able to share his feelings with you. You will find that time to be a blessing, my dear. Today marks 2 months since my dear Vern passed and the tears are flowing for my loss and for your heavy heart. Hold him close ♥
Lori Puente
I adore you Susie. Your strength, your courage, your love for your man, your sense of what is the right time, when and where for what is the next step. For giving Hamada a clear and unfettered path to make his decisions maintaining his dignity and grace. You are my heroes. Your whole family, you and Hamada. I’m in awe.
Jan Bertsche
My dear friend. Even though we have never met my heart is breaking for you. I just felt I needed to send you a message to tell you that the tears flow for you as you go through this. It just brings into perspective what I have to someday face with Bruce. Please take care and know you have many people thinking about you.

I have been feeling this tension of departure since your last posting and hearing that Hamada wanted you to know of his love for you, his concerns for your well-being certainly affirmed what you must suspect is looming. And my heart is both heavy with the wrenching separation that will come and yet curiously joyous knowing that there is so much love that has been a part of this journey that it cannot be defiled by this ending of this part of it.
Love knows no boundaries, there is no space or time that separates the beloved one from another, love – like space – goes on and on. I know that you know this and I know that you and Hamada have this kind of love for each other that will see you through this… he will go through the door first, and wait for you to come to meet up with him one day.
My deepest and heartfelt thoughts are with you now.

Susie,
You are the one with the words – ours are inadequate, other than to say we are thinking of you both. Hugs.

Thank you dear people for the above comments, your loving thoughts and kindness.
