Wow, sorry to hear that, man. You are so brave, I admire that you are willing to share this very vulnerable time with us in this fashion. What are the things that you focus on at this point? And what are things you want to do but fear you might not have enough time to? What is something that brings you joy despite the circumstances? And fwiw, good luck. Maybe there is a miracle that can still happen. If there's some combination of treatments that miight work, do try it out. Peace to you.

Happy birthday, honey! Your family is toxic to you and they are unbelievably biased. It is SO totally not your fault. And you are right in expecting them to love you. But maybe it's time to also realize they won't live up to what they should be. Chin up, try not to let what they say get to you. Take all the professional help you need, and try to make friends who support you. You don't need many, even one can make a world of difference. When you doubt life, remember, you braved all these years because there's still fight left in you. Keep going. There are so many good things that you have to yet do and see. Happy birthday again, and hugs!

Lovely dog, great job giving him the life he deserves :) also Gumbo is a nice, shout-out-able, unusual name!
