Relieved to hear your pancreatic issues are not the big C, Jim. I can't imagine the worry.

Your story is terribly sad yet enlightening and factual; about the joys that can inflict us with old age at the same time as accepting life as it is - with wisdom and grace.

Indeed, as our bodies age we are faced with change - and choices, not just about our health but about our impending mortality.

Love reading your stories, Jim. They're real and relatable.
