Poignant

Our friend here who has the brain tumor is slipping more. His wife posted this today on a health care blog:
"I have been struggling all day. (He) is worsening, he and I both know it, and have talked about it. He will continue to soldier forward. He has been stumbling some--sort of listing to the side. He said this afternoon he realized he is doing it, but doesn't feel dizzy.
"I asked him this afternoon if he was scared of what was ahead. He said, 'No. I'll know who I am until I don't.' "
