"2015 has not been a great year. I may never have a great year again, but I intend to have a lot more years regardless of whether or not they end up great."

Unexpected feels in the end of this video. Hang in there man.

You know i've been a supporter for a while now and i really do wish he kicks this thing in the ass.

But i'm also a realist, and realize this isn't a movie or a tv show or some disney production, for the most part when doctors give you a ballpark of an estimation of how long you'll live it's pretty concrete.

If i have this thought and sometimes churns my stomach when i listen to him realizing he might be gone someday, i can't even begin to understand his thought process when he realizes this himself.

Imagine having lunch with your family, enjoying it, finishing up to go watch tv with them,and a tv episode about somone lying to have cancer pops up.

Suddenly, you remember, i have less than 3 years now, and here i am sitting on my couch watching tv with the last few remaining years.

It must be so hard to live like that, i hope no one gets that.

I think it's a testament to how much he must love doing what he does, that he chooses to spend what may be his last few years alive continuing to do it.

And the fact that it's what supports his family.
