Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death."

Dr. Phil my sincerest regret and condolences to you and your family. Elizabeth Barrett Browning had a verse in one of her sonnets which comes to mind;
"I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life!--and if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death."

It'd good to hear that your family sticks together in this time of grief. I hope you will all make it through this tough stretch, and eventually find a renewed joy in life.

Dear friends.
It hurts me to tell you that my sister passed away tonight.
She has been battling cancer for two years, and now finally found peace.
Most of you hardly know the person behind "Dr. Phil" and none of you knew my sister, my mother or second sister, but I hope you will all send them a thought and a prayer nonetheless.
Especially my sister and mother can use all the good thoughts you can muster at this time.
I don't know most of you very well on any personal level, but I spend a lot of time with you and with our common interest, so I felt it would be natural to share this with you. Hope you don't mind my doing so.
Take care of yourselves and eachother, and do yourselves a favor:
Dream as if you live forever. Live as if you die tomorrow.
Peace and love, "Dr. P".

Dr. Phil, sorry to answer so late, but I am so sad for you and your family.
I don't post much here because I am no sportscar owner, but I come here everyday because like you all I am a car nut.
And everyday I look forward to your posts, you always make me laugh and at the same I learn a lot through them.
Probably like many here, I don't know you personaly but because we share the same interest, and because you through this wunderful place are part of my daily life, I kind of feel "linked" to you in a certain way.
May your sister Rest In Peace, Dr. Phil.

I do NOT write this to paint a grim picture of death, as I'm sure it can be a beautiful thing, but I write this so you make damned sure - should someone close to you ever end up in this situation- that you know that palliative pain medication is NOT a given and absolute thing (depending on which country you live in). So make sure you INSIST on getting the best possible treatment for your loved one.
I'm truly glad this is over.
I wasn't there when she died - but I know my mom and sister went thru hell the last hours. Death isnt always a trip to Disneyland, but at least I know she is in a good place now.
Peace
