Dear Loved Friends,
I can’t stop thinking about you….thanks for the update.

I have not been able to find the words to explain or describe your journey.
When I talk to people or think by myself about the great friend and mentor
that Scott has been to me, I can tell a lot about the great person he has
been for me and for others, I can explain a lot of the things that I know he
has done in life and that we have learned from him and I can tell the story
of Katy and Scott trip to GOA; however, I have not been able to find a word
that describes your journey for me, an explanation with the WHOLE MEANING
AND FEELING ….THIS IS NOT SIMPLE! It is not simple to understand. Would
you mind sharing with me what your feelings and thoughts are? I might be
selfish but I want to learn from you until the end….and I hope the end is
far away….very far!

Tears in my eyes…(I want to smile…)
Hug!

Roberto.

Here is Scott’s unedited explanation to his dear friend Roberto who picked him up
at the hospital on October 14th, the day after he learned he had inoperable cancer:

one day eating nxt day dead from not.
simple. life n death…..seeing it is the reality of life itself
not religious or even spiritual but. life…..
