I have been following this man, Aaron Jameson, on Facebook and through his blog for the last several months. I read an article about him a while back, and learned that he is a young married man living with Cancer. Since I have followed his story, his health insurance has expired, leaving him with no money for chemo or other treatments, and is only receiving pain medications (very small, seldom doses in spite of his pain, which he explains in the blog). He is very honest and open with his situation, no sugar-coating, which in turn means that some of his entries are pretty difficult to read. I have never met him, but he has changed my life. I encourage you all to check out his blog. He blogs less frequently than he used to because he is getting more and more sick by the day, but he has written about everything from suicide to his hallucinations caused by his failing organs.
I don't have the same beliefs as he does regarding afterlife, and I know some of you won't either, it is still completely worth checking out:

Hello Amelia!
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this blog. I read through three of his most recent posts. The second to last one that I read was sad, but touching. He was talking about his eventual death being a goal and that in leaving his loved one's he believes they will remain joyful. He seems very comfortable about sharing his experiences and often expresses admiration for his parents and wife. He often makes jokes in his blog as well, which I suppose is appropriate being he was a stand-up Christian comedian.
Although it has been sad to read, as I previous stated, it is also very touching in the sense that it leaves his loved ones with comfort and helps others to understand the process of the cancer he is enduring.
