RIP, Artie. I have been reading the boards for a few years now, but seldom post. You are an inspiration to all. You reminded me so much of Himynameiskevin. You both totally rock!

You will be missed here, but never forgotten!

Sherron,

You are most welcome! Thank YOU for doing the walk. I did one last year in Augusta, GA with a few friends. I hope the weather is good for you!

Thank you Sherron for doing this walk – not only in memory of your husband, but for all melanoma warriors.

I just made a donation on your behalf. I hope others will too!

The best way for me to answer your question is to share my experience with you.

Two years ago, my Aunt Janet was in the final stages, after battling melanoma for 15 years. All of her children & grandchildren went to say their final goodbyes. I was asked to also participate, so I flew to Florida to visit her. I was very nervous about seeing her, and wondering how I was going to react to seeing her on her "death bed".

Well, I was amazed. As I walked into the room, she turned to me & had the biggest smile on her face! All I could see was the woman I loved dearly. I didn't see any "death or dying", just a woman I had admired, loved & had full respect for.

I enjoyed spending time with her over those 2 days, and had real closure with her. We argued about who love who more, and in the end I told her I'd be fine, and that it was ok for her to go see her parents in heaven. (Her parents – my grandparents- pretty much raised me so we were also very close).

Being able to spend that time with her & her children is an experience I will never forget. I no longer fear saying goodbye to a loved one, and I no longer fear dying myself. It was a beautiful experience for me.

Because of my Aunt, I knew to be watchful of my skin. I have been on "mole patrol" for years. I was diagnosed with stage 1 two years ago, so am fortunate that it was caught early.

My thoughts & prayers are with you as you go to visit your brother.
