Paul,

Nowadays you often come up in my thoughts... You know why...

Marlene doesn't want me to discuss her condition, and I find myself reaching 
out on other topics, which feels heartless, but deflecting may well be worse.

A peaceful and painless conclusion is now the goal.. I've pretty much known this was inevitable 
since Dr. Kim, the surgeon, met with me outside the OR, 13 months ago. After six hours in surgery 
he looked defeated. "I wish I had gotten to this years ago," he said. "Is there 
hope? I asked. There is always hope," he said, head hanging.

Today,Marlene's best friend drove up from Chicago and they laughed and even 
danced a little. (She was with Marlene when we met at a bar in February 1971.) 
A rare good day, but all we can realistically do now is wait and hug and 
whisper words of love.

Did I tell you I deeply resent the ads from a cancer hospital that suggest 
they're beating the disease? They're not. It's a blatant lie aimed at getting 
more Medicare and insurance dollars. Fuck them.
