The latest news from Annie is not so good; this arrived last night:

Hi, folks,

It may be that Mark is reaching the end. The last two days, he has
been unable to keep much food down; he is not responding to his name
being called nor is he responding to touch.

I have been told by the hospice nurse that when a person is unable to
keep food down, it usually means his digestive system is starting to
shut down. It is only a matter of time, now.

Still when he was first diagnosed, he was told he would see the end of
April for sure, 50% chance to see the end of May, and 10% of a chance
to see the end of June. It is now December.  Mark's firmness has
proved their timeline wrong, but then, he always was a little
obstinate B-).

Still I have to be thankful for the time I had with Mark. We had a lot
of good times.

Thank you for all your support and wishes for Mark. I wish he could've
had more time on this world to make his mark.

Annie Li
