When I read about Derek Miller, a blogger with colon cancer who had published a post-mortem blog entry announcing his death, I didn't know what to expect. I visited his blog, cleverly titled Pen Machine, and I began reading the words of a man who spoke just as candidly about his death as he did his life. In his final posting "The last post", he talks of the definitive end of life, and the turning of his blog from "an active website into an archive". He tells us of the things he will be missing out on and gives us a glimpse of his life before cancer. His blog is by far the most candid ?I have ever read from a person with cancer.
Derek Miller was only 41 when he died last week. He leaves behind a wife and two young daughters. Take a few minutes to read about Derek's blog and his journey with colon cancer.
