It's hard to know what to say -- Bob just has to be so withered & beaten down after nearly five years of fighting this thing like a wildcat -- the thought of him not being at home is an unhappy one
I can only recall my dog being put to sleep this past August -- she was basically unhappy in the last month or two, it was obvious --- when the vet gave her that shot, she just laid her head down on the pillow and checked out as a happy camper, her body language conveying nothing but serenity -- it was very plain to see
Brother Bob O'Brien isn't going to get better, apparently -- the efforts to hang on are taxing to him and those around him -- I've never met him but know him well enough still to believe his faith/spirituality has him well prepared for the hereafter -- if I were in his shoes I'd want the journey kick-started -- it's just too difficult a situation to think about right now -- he deserves to be at home
There's only one thing in this life I'm certain of
The only true treasure in this life, is love

Man, my heart breaks for Denise and Cami, for them to have to see Bob suffer this way and go through this with him, and for Bob to have to know he is leaving them behind, for now. It is such a helpless and powerless feeling to want to do something so badly to change the situation, to make it all better, and know there is nothing you can do but be there, and send love, hope, and prayers their way. Guess that is what I'll do now, since I don't know what else to do. Man, I miss Bobo. 
My thoughts exactly Doug ...
Bob, Denise and Cami, you are constantly in my thoughts ... much love to you all ... ____________________

My thoughts and prayers are with Bob and his family again today. Just praying for peace and no more pain and suffering for Bob.
I thank Bob for bringing so many of us together out of love and compassion. It's simply amazing what one individual has done for the hearts and minds of many of us here.

Praying for a painless and beautiful journey for Bobo, a journey we will all take one day. I only know Bob through these pages on the web, but what a legacy he has left with us. We should all strive to be and do what he has done on these pages. He has brought caring, humor, love, and understanding to many people here. Think if we all did that in our everyday lives. A better world we would have.
Peace and comfort to Bobo and Denise and Cami. God Bless You All. ____________________

Been out of here for 5 days, thought of Bobo and his family everyday though. Tears welling as I type
Bobo, I am a better man for having known you here, wish we could have caught a show or hundred together, but thanks for all your humor, kindness, it will always be treasured. I will try and pass them on to others who are in need, as you did.
God Bless you Bob!
And if I don't meet you in this world, I'll meet ya in the next, AND DON"T BE LATE! ____________________

Attended the funeral of a co-worker's Mom this morning.
I've always thought that a person's faith is mostly a private matter but there were these words on the service flyer and I thought they were timely to share.
2 Corinthians 4:14 - 5:1
We know that God, who raised the Lord Jesus to life, will also raise us up with Jesus... For this reason we never become discouraged. Even though our physical being is gradually wasting away, our spiritual being is renewed day after day. And our light and temporary troubles will bring us a tremendous and eternal glory, much greater than our troubles.
For we fix our attention, not on things that are seen, but on things that are unseen. What can be seen lasts only for a time, but what cannot be seen lasts forever. For we know that when this tent we live in- our body here on earth- is torn down, God will have a house in heaven for us to live in, a home God made, which will last forever. ____________________
Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

I haven't checked in here in awhile, but I think of Bob, his sweet daughter and wife often and they are in my prayers. I'm so sad to read the updates. I had the pleasure of meeting Bob several years ago through his friend Keith Urban and we got a big chuckle when we discovered were were both big ABB fans as well. Bob is a loving, positive, wonderful man who loves his family, as you all know. We are all blessed to to know him. No matter what was going on in his life or mine, he always managed to laugh and make me laugh. Much peace and love to brother Bobo.
Prayers and love to the O'Brien family,
Terry ____________________
