My partner was diagnosed back in 2016. We went and saw totality in 2017. That day we made hopefully plans to see the one tomorrow. Here we are, 7 years later having driven half way across the country to see tomorrow's eclipse. She is still in treatment and will be forever but she's here. I will definitely make a date for the next one in 20 years.

This comic hit close to home. Thank you for posting the link.

If you can travel to Spain, there's another in just 2 years!

I’m not crying, there’s something in my eye…

Wonderful message and reminder

Yeah fuck cancer.

Ya gotta work a bit on your empathy there. I think it’s pretty clear that the ellipsis is something more than just an ellipsis to them.

Randall Munroe's partner was diagnosed with cancer a while (10+ years) and there has been several comics and blogs about it over the years.

This ellipsis to him is something perhaps he didn't think he'd be doing with his partner.

This I think is a really good comic - https://xkcd.com/931/

Why is everyone saying ellipsis instead of eclipse?

Something blocked the view of the right word.

The last image in that comic is burned in my memory. Incredibly powerful
