Hey Paul,
I remember when you were growing your hair out - it grew at least 3 or 4 inches high before falling over.
Holding you in my thoughts - lots of love and light from HumCo.

Hey buddy,
Hang tough, though I don't know you personally, I am your brother and am thankful for your presence in my life. I've spent alot of time pushing for Bean, basically because we've climbed together and all, but I am positive that we could have just as much of a blast hanging together as Bean and I. Be assured that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Be strong my friend and may peace be with you.
Your forever friend in the vertical world!
Doug

Paul, there have been very few people in my life that have inspired me and that I truly admire - my partner is one of them and you would be the other. I now have a motorcycle (and yes, I even ride it!) and am planning on climbing my first wall, even though I am a climber (12 years) that is quite afraid of extreme exposure. When I feel weak or think that I just can't do it, I will think of you.
Sending a smile and hugs to you and Ruth :)

Paul, I am sad we have to leave in the morning already, but so happy we got some good chats in while Dad, Nate and I were here. You are an amazing person and I am so very very blessed to have you as my big brother. The words "Don't think about what you can't do but think about what you can learn from this." will always be with me. I will do my best not to be fustrated by the distance that keeps me from visiting you more often and from being a support to you during these difficult and painful times in your life. I know you are blessed to have Ruth there who loves you immensely and I am comforted in knowing that she is taking good care of you and loving you as she does. I am so happy you are not alone in this journey. If I can't be around to hold your hand to the end (which is not necessarily my job, I know) I am happy you have Ruth's to hold.
Here is a pic of your growling buddy. That was fun to watch you two exchange "words" lol. XOXO love you!!

Hey Paul, I hope you are feeling comfortable and having good thoughts. Hope to hear how you are doing. And hope that you and Ruth are having a good time being together. Family visiting is always nice. My family was just out, it always seems too quiet when they leave.

We have been over-run with changing treatments, worsening health, and well meaning well wishers.
EVERY day has brought an unexpected guest, or a new hospice nurse that needs to be filled in AGAIN on my whole history, or other assorted interuptions. AAARRGGGHH! Not to mention the growing, pain filled tumor.
And worst of all, Ruth does all she can and then is told by "experts" to do it differently. She works her ass off, but is criticized for minor points. At work, requests for updates about me are incessant. She can't even escape to the Yoga studio without constant reminders of how sick I am, how much everyone wants to hear about it and "Have you tried this?" comments.
Stop, kind comforters. We need quiet and space. We know you care. Time alone and $ to help cover the drowning expenses are the two gifts we have received lately that really help. Leaving Earth costs lots of cash, and Ruth is generating all that is not donated. (Thank you!)
We hope to get a week without surprises and extra frustrations. We miss each other.
Love you all...
Paul.

I'm sending another check. I hope others will too.
If everyone who has learned and grown from your writings about climbing
and your journey here would just send a few dollars, that would help a lot.
