I have followed this thread over the last year and I must say.
Thanks for being such an awesome role model to so many Paul, your strength and willingness to love and live is an example for us all to follow. I pray for your recovery and that your current pain will diminish soon. I'm glad you have such loving and caring friends and family to help you through this as best they can. Have a good weekend

Thinking of you Paul. Hoping hospice is able to help with your pain. I don't think I've run into anybody tougher than you are. A man who definitely lives life on his own terms. Susan

I have to say this Paul.
You are redefining what it is possible for a person to do.
The bar is so high now we can hardly see it.

"In the end Love always wins"
Thanks so much for that Paul, love has been a theme lately that feels so right and freeing. I hope you can feel how you are surrounded by Love at all times by all of us and more, supporting you through this awfulness. You are a well loved rock star!
Just got back from my first annual trip to the dermatologist. Thanks for being the little voice on my shoulder to finally get me in there! So many years at high altitude with fair skin.... Pretty much clear except a little probably-nothing-type-something I'll go back in a few months to have checked. Cherishing my health!
Alrighty, back to my writing... Oh, by the way (!?!) I'm working on a chapter for a book collaboration with a number of other coaches. My part is on "effortless commitment" with a yoga (warrior two pose), health and personal growth theme. Go figure...
Be well warrior!
Lots O Love,
Melanie

I just received this.
Dear Ones, At 8:20 PM on Friday, July 29, 2011, Paul Humphrey ended his earthly Journey of 39 years and 8 months and began his new, Eternal Journey.
We want to thank everyone for their love and prayers over this past year. Please remember Paul in your own, individual way.
We will notify you of any formal or informal gatherings but please feel free to gather in person or on line to share your "Paul Stories". Always remember that Paul would want you to do whatever will make you "feel better, not worse."
Paul's years may have been shorter than expected but his life was much fuller than most.
David and Marilyn Humphrey

Thinking about Ruth, Pastor Dave, and the whole Humphrey clan....Sending condolences and Love.
Condolences to his friends too..
I never met Paul, but i was always inspired by his strength and honesty. I learned several life lessons from him....
I'm going to miss his presence on this form. It is comforting to know that his spirit lives on in the gift of his writing.....Thanks, Paul.

Oh. I was dx with cancer about a month after Paul started posting. Paul helped me tap into courage I wouldn't have thought possible. I got to meet him in person in December. To know that incredible voice is silenced cuts...oh so deep. To keep his spirit alive through all of us will be a gift.
Hugs to you Phillipe (Guck) ... Yeah, we know exactly the profoundness that Paul brought to our lives. It did change us...very deeply.
Oh Ruth .. Pastor Dave and Marilyn ... The unnaturalness of losing a child...no matter what their age.

Hey Paul Humph-er-rey,
sorry to hear you have left this reality.
Tom called to tell me last night. I love you more then one 'flaming heto-sexual'(to use a phrase you coined) should love another.
sitting here in Massachusetts visiting family and building a deck for my dad.
running behind on the project, as usual.
But I got some good news, my 2 brothers and a dear friend just arrived to help me move the project along. But, more important, we will have a great experience, and make great memories today. And thats what it's all about.
I'm doin' carpentry in flip-flops, shorts and no shirt, listening to Jimmy Buffet...crying and thinking of all the wonderful memories with you.
I should probably dry my tears and get to work, but i want to leave you (or you leave me) with a few words....
'life is what happens when you are busy making other plans'
---john lennon
'the memories of man in his old age are the deeds of a man in his prime'
---pink floyd
'you should be diggin' it while it's happin', 'cause it just might be a one shot deal'
---frank zappa
'And if i don't meet you no more in this world, i'll meet you in the next one, and don't be late, don't be late'
---jimi hendrix
I love you, be well, my friend,
marco(paulo)
