Good luck, David. I’ve always admired you.
I’ve always respected you, Mr. Simmons. I wish you the best.
Best regards, Sir.
I’m sorry to hear of your problems. Your posts are always worth reading.
In a lighter vein I believe that my son knows your son, or grandson, in Rock Springs. He said he worked with him at the post office.
I am sad to hear this Mr. Simmons. Good Luck to you and I hope you find your peace.
I am sorry to hear this. I’ll keep you and your family in my prayers.
Please accept my very best regards and wishes. It is within our nature, and that of most living creatures, to struggle to an unreasonable extent against death, or pain, or suffering. Sometimes we must choose which of the three we wish most to defeat, and the choice, once made, is inarguable.
You are one of those people who are entitled to ask for whatever they want. Please do, whenever you are so inclined. I cannot grant wishes, but they are still better having been spoken. Good luck.
Dude, bummer. Know we are thinking about you.
Good luck!
I’m sorry as hell to hear that. Best of luck to you.
take care.
David:
Ever since LADope (The Pit) you’ve been one of our favorites. All best for whatever lies in store.
Much love from Kathy and Ric.
Hoping for peace for you and your family.
David,
You are among a handful of posters whose posts I implicitly trust. This place will not be the same without you.
Peace.
I’d just like to add to the chorus of admiring voices. All the best to you, sir, and know that - for what it’s worth - this bunch of odd, cantankerous people who think they’re smarter than they really are know that we are better for having “met” you.
Allow me to add yet another voice to all those who are sorry to hear you have been ill. I too have always enjoyed and respected your posts here. I wish you well. Take care.
So sorry to hear that. We wish you the best of luck, though.
You are a good man in every way; your courage is admirable.
Mr. Simmons,
My grandfather made a similar decision a few years back. It was a real gift to be able to say goodbye to him - really to cherish him every day for the next 11 months as if it were his last. Still incredibly hard to lose him - we were very close - but much easier than if he had, say, gotten hit by a bus. That last year was no doubt one of the best in a life full of very good years.
You have long been one of my favorite posters here. I haven’t posted in awhile but I saw this thread by happenstance and had to tell you so. Thank you for serving the world in the war. I wish the best for you and hope that your remaining time can be among the best in a life that has undoubtedly been filled with good times.
I will be back in the LA area on Thursday. From that point on, if you or your wife need anything, please let me know.
I think you know I hold you in the highest regard.
