Carry on my DU friends.

[great white snark]

This discussion thread is pinned.

Well it's become abundantly clear that it's time for me to pay the piper. Been fighting cancer but now there is no fight left-my fate is irreversible. I'm at a loss because being a dumb Marine all I know how to do is fight.

I know I'm nothing special to DU, my contributions were piss poor and I just had to apologize to my AA, LGBT and everyone else I should have stood up for. Not an excuse but you should know that having done the unspeakable during the war has left me with many issues including communicating properly. For every post I manage to make at least 20 have been scrapped due to uncertainty.

You should also know my name is Paul, Chicago born and have had many family members waving the union flag for the United Steel Workers. And of course I'm a lifelong non-apologetic Democrat.

I don't know what to say to Cha and sheshe2...you always spoke for me and showed my a kindness seldom seen anywhere. I cherish knowing you. To Tarheel Dem, my first DU friend, I respect you so much and any cause thought important to you would have been just as important to me. Thank you. Thank you to all to long to list, still, know you all affected a life positively.

Please get Hillary elected. Please don't forget the important state/local elections where many good Democrats are poised to change the world. Please Skinner fix this or I will haunt your ass.

Please take care of each other.

[charlyvi]

1. So, so sorry.

We will get Hillary elected. Promise. You can watch from the other side.

[UtahLib]

2. You don't know me or I you

but your post brought tears to my eyes. I wish you a smooth journey surrounded by the ones you love.


I have no doubt that your voice is every bit as important as anyone else's on DU.

[narnian60]

[SunSeeker]

3. I wish you peace.

[Uben]

4. Hey Paul!

Sorry to hear of your health problems. It sucks, but what ya gonna do? When that time comes, know that there are a lot of us here to carry on the good fight. Being a marine, you have my utmost respect and thanks for volunteering to defend this country we all love so much. Without people like yourself, we are nothing.

After losing my wife to cancer, I am at peace with my mortality. We all gotta go sometime, but living truly is the hard part. The way I see it, we all get a turn at life. Some are fortunate enough to live a long life, others are not. When your turn is up, it's someone else's turn. I've narrowed it down to that.

Peace on ya brother!

[Evergreen Emerald]

5. I have no words.

Rock on.

[murielm99]

6. Go well. Go easily.

We will get Hillary elected, and some down ticket people, too.

We will remember you.

All DU members are valuable, whether they post often or not.

Maybe I will see you on the other side. They must have a place for good Democrats there.

[KitSileya]

7. Thank you for being here.

We've never "spoken" on DU, but people like you are why DU is so important. Thank you for the time you've spent here, and good luck on your next big adventure.

12. Sempre Fi Paul. Here's hoping that you meet no resistance on this last recon

Thanks for sticking with DU, when so many others have bailed.

[denvine]

13. Wishing you peace and comfort Paul!

14. Paul, I hope you have the support of good friends IRL.

And good medical care. Peace to you on this journey.

We care. Come back here anytime.

[Dont call me Shirley]

15. Bless you, Paul. May your life be joyous and filled with love, peace and friendship.

There have been too many of us stricken with cancer, it is a global epidemic. May your suffering and pain be minimal.

21. Never doubt that you made a contribution to DU--you did. Even though

it might not have been YYYYUUUUGGGEEE, it mattered. We all matter. Bless you for the life you've led, the kindness you've shown, the love you gave, the part you played. Peace and love to you and yours.

[world wide wally]

22. I'll see you in the next world...

And don't be late!

[davidthegnome]

23. Keep on fighting Paul.

Death will come for us all, sooner or later... what is important is not how or even whether we die, but how we live in what time we have.

"I know I'm nothing special to DU, my contributions were piss poor and I just had to apologize to my AA, LGBT and everyone else I should have stood up for. Not an excuse but you should know that having done the unspeakable during the war has left me with many issues including communicating properly. For every post I manage to make at least 20 have been scrapped due to uncertainty. "

My Grandfather was a Marine who fought overseas - and he also did unspeakable things that left him deeply scarred for life. For all of that though, he was one of the greatest men I have ever had the honor of knowing. A world war II vet who used to tell me he felt worth his weight in wildcats. Even on his deathbed, he was not disheartened, not depressed, but full of the same humor and energy I had always known from him... jumping up and down on his hospital bed days before he passed, asking his seven year old grandson if he was still wearing diapers. Ah, I miss that man.

Everyone of us fighting the good fight here is special. I wish I could thank you for your service in the armed forces and as a democrat... in a way that didn't seem underwhelming. Some times there just aren't words for expressing gratitude and compassion.

I don't know what you believe in, some times I'm not even sure what I believe in... but if I have faith in anything, it's that the quest for knowledge, for wisdom, for enlightenment, for greater love... never ends. That comforts me when I think about my own death, that I believe there is something beyond this life, something grand and wonderful and peaceful.

Just remember that miracles happen every day - every time a child is born, every time someone makes a decision for peace instead of violence, every time someone saves a life or stands up for the oppressed. You are very much a part of this fight for progress, for democracy, for the fate and the future of the human race - and I am proud to have you with us.

I hope you find peace. I know that sounds inadequate... I hope you find everything you ever wanted or wished for. I hope you are deeply blessed and filled with love and compassion. Wherever you go from here, you made a positive difference, don't ever think otherwise.

It takes a lot of courage to stare into the face of death - you have my admiration and my respect.

[SnowCritter]

24. Ooh-Rah! and Semper Fi! Paul

Cancer sucks! I was lucky and beat it - but, as I said, I was lucky.

If the Army and the Navy
Ever look on heaven's scenes,
They'll find the streets are guarded
By United States Marines.

God Bless!

[Lazy Daisy]

25. Keep fighting Marine

Keep fighting for every precious moment. Find peace and joy with the time you have. Enjoy spring as the weather warms and the world around us explodes with beautiful color. Enjoy the company of old and new friends. Have those conversations, those moments of laughter. Fight for every damn moment, they belong to you.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

39. Thank you for fighting the good fight. Your words make me cry for many reasons.

Please be at peace. We are a nation of Looney Tunes, but the main feature really needs to be seen. I hope Hillary will help get us there. I have so much hope the turnout will be huge and a mandate undeniable.

Peace out....

[gregcrawford]

42. I am a cancer survivor...

... for now, at least, and I have lost too many friends to the Big C. I am inexpressibly sorry for what you must be going through, but mere words cannot provide solace. Go in peace and know that you will live on in the memories of all DUers, regardless of who they supported in the primaries.

the light on for the rest of us.

[stonecutter357]

46. Thank you so much.

Remember your Creator
in the days of your youth,
before the days of trouble come
and the years approach when you will say,
“I find no pleasure in them”—

before the sun and the light
and the moon and the stars grow dark,
and the clouds return after the rain;

when the keepers of the house tremble,
and the strong men stoop,
when the grinders cease because they are few,
and those looking through the windows grow dim;

when the doors to the street are closed
and the sound of grinding fades;
when people rise up at the sound of birds,
but all their songs grow faint;

when people are afraid of heights
and of dangers in the streets;
when the almond tree blossoms
and the grasshopper drags itself along
and desire no longer is stirred.
Then people go to their eternal home
and mourners go about the streets.

Remember him—before the silver cord is severed,
and the golden bowl is broken;
before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
and the wheel broken at the well,

and the dust returns to the ground it came from,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

[synergie]

47. I wish you peace. I am so sorry.

You done good Marine!

74. dude, i dont know you from a can of paint

The only thing we have in common is our first names. I am a Bernie supporter. Your message moved me. Why don't we just give them absolute hell, well, just for the hell of it. Safe transition for you and Semper Fi.......

75. Peace and love to you, Paul.

May joy and peace surround you,
Contentment latch your door,
And happiness be with you now,
And bless you evermore.

And there is nothing wrong with your posts. Your perspective is as unique and interesting as anyone's on DU. I wish you the best.

You have touched many peoples lives .

[William769]

88. Peace be with you my friend.

[Sheepshank]

89. My thoughts go out to you and to your family

I wish my farewell to you could be half as eloquent and touching as your farewell was to me, to us.

In the spirit of this political board, I can tell you that we will fight the good fight for Hillary and she will be the next President of the United States, and you can smile that it will come to be.

May this latest journey be calm and peaceful.

[freshwest]

90. Breaking my hiatus briefly for you, eyes welling with tears.

Because I loved what you did post, and felt good about what you posted on especially here in our home in the BOG. This comes as a shock to me as I didn't know why your posts were so infrequent.

But I enjoyed them for years. With love, I send you my very best, and know you will be missed by those of us who read your words here. I hope you are surrounded by your friends and or family at this time, and focus on the love and respect you deserved.

Good bye, dear friend, I always was fond of you and asked if anyone had heard from you. Post if you can in the coming days or not, know that you have nothing to apologize for a well-lived life. That's all we will get for our days on Earth.

And I'll be voting Democrat for you if you can't in November. Godspeed to the next realm, whatever it is.



Now, I'm gone again.

[New Orleans Strong]

91. A brave post...

...From a brave man. Fulfill what you still need to do and can do. And may it be a time for you to be with your favorite people, and for them to be lucky enough to be with your you.

92. Peace to you, Paul. Many thanks for serving our country and your contributons to DU.

May you cross gently. I hope to see you there.

[Cha]

93. Damn, great white snark..

I remember when you wrote you wouldn't be around as much because you weren't feeling that well.. I thought of that every time I'd see you post or Rec one of our threads. Thinking maybe you were better.. I wish I would have written you and asked how you were. I'm so sad right now.. tears are just flowing.. it's such a beautiful farewell note you've written to all of us.

We're all special around here.. I would light up every time I saw your name and when you posted I would look forward to what you had to say.. what pearl and/or snark would be there. You're an excellent writer.

Thank you so much for being our DU friend and fellow President Obama and Hillary Supporter... I think we all treasure each other for the kindred spirit we feel, supporting such amazing leaders on a Democratic board, when we're in the minority.

Paul, I love your spirit and wish you and your loved ones Peace, Love, and Aloha~





for your service to our country and to your family members who waved the flag for the United Steel Workers!

Working our best to get Hillary elected now and she's doing her best to help with those important state/local elections you talked about..



http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1107&pid=78361

Thank you so much for your sweet message of "Please take care of each other".

Aloha, Paul~

[TygrBright]

94. Know this, Paul: You are special to DU.

And to me.

Every member of this community makes DU what it is.

Beyond that, thank you for living the life you've lived, mistakes and all.

It matters.

You make a difference.

Your loss will be felt.

Memories of you will be cherished.

Don't stop fighting, though. To live every moment you have left with grace and kindness, if nothing else. They're all precious and worth that.

Besides, you're a Marine. The fight IS the victory.

Thank you for being part of DU, now and forever.

respectfully,
Bright

[Ferretherder]

97. At 60 years of age, I am thinking a lot about my mortality, these days...

...and am grateful for the time I've had.

I may have quite a few years left.

I may have a few months left.

I may only have only a few days left.

But, I find myself hoping that I have made the kind of impact in life that you have most likely made, my friend.

Godspeed, and, if there is another side,.......see you there.

[DesertRat]

98. Thinking of you, Paul

We will work hard to get Hillary elected. Peace.

[SaveAmerica]

99. There'll be peace when we are done... but

can I talk you into staying in that fight? Are there any Vet groups you can get with to try a new path? Message me if you'd like me to do any type of searching for any help you need. I'd be honored to spend as much time as you need doing that for you.

And I love your message for DUers to take care of each other. I've come here many times over the past several months looking for information to counter lies I see online (because DU was always the place where fact-checkers against GOP lies helped me stay informed) and was disturbed to find page after page of cat and dog fights against each other with no discussion of the crazy issue of the day. I hope that for you folks will tone it down and remember we're all on the same team.

won't recover from very quickly. You've been one of my most favored DU'ers, and I will try and take strength from the courage you've displayed here. That's all I can say on the subject right now. Much love and respect to you. Please know that you're in my thoughts, and in my heart.

When the waters are deep, friends carry me over
When I cry in my sleep love call me home.

When the waters are cold, friends carry me over
When I'm losing my hold, love call me home.

When I'm weary and cannot swim friends carry me over
Open your arms and take me in, love call me home.

Take the gift I bring, friends carry me over
Deep within me life is singing, love call me home.

Time can stop or dance forever, love call me home.

138. Rest easy, brother.

Your fellow Marines, this Airman, and the whole of this country's veterans--our brothers and sisters--are proud of you.

[cactusfractal]

139. Semper Fi, brother

I don't personally believe that there's a Heaven with streets for us jarheads to guard, and if there were I'd certainly be looking to skate out of eternal guard duty because - well, because skating out of guard duty is what terminal Lance Coolies like me do.

But you've fought a harder fight than most, staying true (and out!) to your liberal ideals when most of our brothers-in-arms call us commies or worse, just for believing that people are more important than profit.

Sir, I relieve you.

[noiretextatique]

140. my heart goes out to you, Paul

as another member of the club no one wants to join

[calimary]

141. Love you, great white snark.

Thank you for all your TREMENDOUS contributions - throughout. I hope you can somehow stick around, in the physical world, but otherwise, I wish for safe and gentle passage, into eternal Love, Peace, and the Light. Your presence in the world has left it a wee bit better than you found it.

[Third Doctor]

142. Peace and love,Paul

[Punkingal]

143. Peace to you, Paul.

I didn't know you here, but I wish I had. Your post is touching, and I am shedding a few tears. You are a brave man, serving as a Marine, and now facing your transition with courage. Bless you, fellow DUer!

[DissidentVoice]

144. You're not a dumb Marine

I was in the Air Force, and despite the usually good-natured inter-service rivalry and ribbing I always respected everyone who served honourably - Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, Active, Guard, Reserve and Auxiliary.

Not to mention that my uncle was a combat veteran Marine of the Korean War.

[herding cats]

145. Peace be with you.

You've made this site better every time I read your words.

I'm truly saddened to hear of your battle with cancer.

147. i have learned that one of the kindest things to say to someone who is departing this world is this:

it's okay to let go.

and it is.

unfortunately i did not offer those words to my dad. i was younger then, not very familiar with death and loss, and i could only think of what life would be like without him when it would have been more kind, more wonderful, more selfless if i would have considered him and what he was struggling with rather then telling him to hang on and keep fighting.

twenty years later i was able to tell my mom that it was okay to let go. but i understood, at that point, she had no choice; she couldn't hang on, she was too weak to fight, and there was nothing anyone could do to save her.

and although she did pass on--she has given me *plenty* of signs & notice that she is still near me. (which is always greatly appreciated btw)

before you go know 1. that you are loved, 2. that you will be missed, 3. that you will be remembered, 4. and the world is better for having you in it.

you don't have to fight anymore. it's okay. i believe everything is going to be okay for you. you're going to be fine--perhaps more than you can imagine.

sending you love.

You are a great person. We here at DU are lucky to have you here.

155. Forgive this but have you tried sending your records to other cancer centers asking

If they have something to try? I would try Sloan Kettering in NYC and MD Anderson in Houston.

Still hoping for a miracle for you.

Paul, a tip of the glass (I don't drink, but ...) to you, my good man. And if only we'd listened to you about Hillary. Sigh.
