I downloaded Waking Lazarus off Audible and LOVED it - came across your blog just trying to learn about you. I've been following your story, and a couple of weeks ago my father was diagnosed with severe cirrhosis. They think he got it many years ago during emergency surgery on the mission field.
After reading this entry I was ready when the head of the diaconate asked me at church if there was anything at all he could do. I replied "Well he does need a new liver".
Just wanted to warn you in case you haven't actually verbalized your thoughts to well wishers - it was kind of awkward. There's this pause where they're thinking "Surely he didn't think I meant ANYTHING" - I've used the line twice - and don't think I will anymore.
BTW - my Dad's 84, had an awesome life, and is looking forward to his homegoing. May God bless you as you use your creative gifts so well
