Keep fighting Paulo… mountains are a piece of cake after all the pain you have to go through and suffer. Don't give up, you still have to run up Everest.
Ok, let me know and I will go up Ojos Del Salado with you.. Just get better, stay strong, I will be praying for you and will try to send you some energy...
your Everest. We'll all keep praying for a speedy bone marrow match. I think you'll find Ojos too easy after what you are going through at the moment.
best wishes, Mark
I'll tell u Mark, if I pull through this alive and well, I promisse to climb Ojos and the damn Aconcagua too, which I'm against for, a mountain of money...
All the best
Paulo
Yup - you better do that too Paulo. You will have looked across at it from the top of Vallecitos a couple of years back - and having seen it dominating the horizon how could you miss it out? You keep these dreams in your head as you do your next few km's up and down that hospital corridor - and a lot are praying and generally exuding positive vibes to help you make the dream come true.
Keep it lit mate
Mark
I don't think I'm as strong as you guys say, I just show a lot of it so people can understand what a leukemia patient has to take on the road...
And the road just completed 2 years now.
Anyway, thanks for the great words Lew...
Happy holidays for you and yours!
Paulo

the Math
Paulo, you're facing what we all must face, and with a sound mind and humor and dignity and gentleness - all luxuries that most of us will not have when facing our own time; how many of us will envy your courage one day! It means that you walk towards the dark like an adventurer and explorer - not as a broken and witless old shell. Nothing is ever planted to no purpose. Thank You so much for your posts and updates - they will help others when they desperately need to see a light on the path. You are not alone. Most or all of us have known the deaths of friends, and perhaps you do too. If so, then you know that those who remain think of them each and every day, miss them, hear their voices in our heads, and smile at the good times we had with them. Listen up; I'm not a man of faith, but in this I have absolute faith: one day, you will open your eyes again. The universe and everything that is has nothing but time, and time is limitless. With limitless time comes limitless chances, limitless opportunity. Every occurrence, eventually, will happen again, even if it takes ten trillion centuries of stars being born, dying, and new ones being born again from their components. You will walk in the hills again and feel the sunshine on your face on some summit or desert morning again one day. It's just math, my friend. See you then!
We love you an want you to stay with us here on the earth. We know for certain that we (all of us) are going to die, some on the way to our beloved mountains in vehicles, some will parish on the Mountain, some will pass on when our body is done
(old age) and some will leave us too soon. I appreciate that you have shared this journey with us, I know it has brought you some comfort in doing so.
I love you Brother! I pray that we all meet in a better place than this someday.
Eu te amo irmão! Rezo para que nos encontramos um dia em um elugar melhor que este.
