Dear Farokh. You are a wonderful man and a wonderful storyteller. (Not the only one in the family!). Thank you, thank you for sharing your story. With much love,

Brian

I have read and re-read this post and have digested so that I now have only two things to say.

First, the word with which you start this post, 'our', is such a warm and inclusive word. It suggests to the reader the truth of the matter–that although the cancer is in your body, there are so many more people involved in this story and this journey, because of their love for you and for your family. Thank you for letting us in.

The second is about paragraph 10: you, behave well? I'll believe it when I see it!!

Sorry to hear the trip idea is squashed. You can't get away from us! I'll be joining the parade tomorrow. As always, thank you so much for continuing to share your news and thoughts.

I use a Nikon DSLR for most of my picture thee days. Specially for get togethers. The twin lens does not work for spontaneous pictures. Too much setup time and thought process.I cannot use poit and shoots. They have become very frustrating. Not sure why they insist on putting such a lag time between pressing the shutter release and the actual being taken.

"I am the only person who is nostalgic over the book that proved DOS batch file programming tips and tools." NOT true! Oh, those were heady days back then! Bill Gates was just a nerd, and WE, Faroukh …. were yet young.

My Dad did the O2 routine for quite some time. He amused Nancy, Doug, Leigh and I with his "booger" evacuation routines. (That nose "harness" seems to impede normal hankie usage patterns)? Quite the clown, our Dad! Something to think about, come next Halloween?
On the camera challenge – try one of those cool consumer jobs with "point n' shoot" mode? Your work is WAY too good to be hung up on the complexities of your double lens! You have so many gifts and talents – I guess easing back on ONE of them might seem like a small thing?
(Hey, you seem to be working the keyboard pretty well)!
