This piece on Roger Ebert, of movie-critic fame, is making the rounds.
Aside from the story's startling details, I'm struck by the sensitivity to this suffering man. And his fortitude and humanity in the struggle.
And also, his joy.
Here's his blog on the Chicago Sun-Times.
"In his dreams, his voice has never left. In his dreams, he can get out everything he didn't get out during his waking hours: the thoughts that get trapped in paperless corners, the jokes he wanted to tell, the nuanced stories he can't quite relate. In his dreams, he yells and chatters and whispers and exclaims. In his dreams, he's never had cancer. In his dreams, he is whole."
