The most powerful weapon on earth is the human soul on fire. Ferdinand Foch |

But timing, as they say, is everything, and we had only the maybes of our magic. Because he'll need all of his to thrash the disease that keeps returning to drag him back into the ring. To defeat once and for all the disease that doesn't deserve him. Because he is oozing with life. Powerful, mischievous, fiercely courageous life. Life full of adventures yet to be lived. Life generously shared with the countless who love him. And ever so briefly, life he shared with me, too.
For reasons beyond our control, we knew I couldn't stay to fight for him. Instead he sent me firmly onward, to boldly persist on this wild, ridiculous ride. To live worthy of having encountered a bona fide force of nature. So I'll take a bit of our magic on the road, a Portuguese mojo of sorts. And since I can't give more, I'll leave the rest with him, an extra right hook I hope. To show this bullshit disease who's boss. For it too, will have its reckoning. And it too will learn; you don't mess with magic.

Yes Yes Yes. Wow. Wow. Wow!!!
