It brings tears to my eyes to read this, because my brother went the same way.

Goddamn. I've erased a hundred words here. I've got no advice, no wisdom. I cannot grok. My mind just goes blank.

I'm so sorry monster.

My brother made it to 50. He was not one to trust doctors, but finally had to do something. He had a colon cancer was like a donut around his intestine. It metasfied to the liver and that was all she wrote. The surgeon said it probably started 7 years before it was detected. Turns out he wasn't fat at all. His body was drowning in fluid.

It's of little comfort now, but going forward you'll appreciate you two had a hell of a run, did amazing things, produced smart kids, things most do not accomplish in a hundred years on earth.

Even if it seemed like chaos much of the time.
