Truly Blessed!
I am just sitting here trying to find one thought, one momment, or one happening from this past few days to focus on and write about. It's impossible. My family and friends, the circle of people around me was just so energized these pat few days that it was incredible. If you read this blog much, you will notice I use the word lucky or blessed a great deal. Well I am. There just isn't a way to sum up the activities, the highlights, the main events, the emotions and the fun that we all had. My days began with a smile brought by the first words of my grandson Andrew as he ran in to hug me saying "Hey Grandpa, show me your cancer?". Andthen ended 4 days later at the end of a long day, sitting quietly with my dearest friend's warm hand on my head sending God's energy to me in loving and healing prayer. Sandwiched between those two magnificent moments were 4 days of pure heaven enjoying the wonderful gifts I have here on earth. Happy Birthday Bill! Thanks for the awesome pies ladies! Really glad you came, Matt! I love you Mike, Steve, Carrie and Laura (probably in that order too ha ha). So glad to see you Maria! What I realize most as I sit and enjoy the pleasant and peaceful thoughts, is that it really happens because I'm in the hands of the best nurse, grandma, mother, caterer, cook, chauffeur, and wife anyone could have. Thank you Cindy! I am truly blessed.

Hi Mike, I just found your site. Sharing your thoughts... what a wonderful way to live in the present. Bless you, my friend, as you choose to ride in the eye of the storm. The peace of God will surround you, as you continue to cast your cares upon Him. Hope to see you real soon. Love, Carmella
Also, forget the gold mine, you must publish these blogs. The book will be a best seller--didn't know you are such a word smith. I assume you've learned to spell esophagus by now--although your versions, all three, were pretty interesting. And I need to know, do you hula when you play the ukulele?? Love, C
Thanks for the birthday wishes and for coming to my surprise party! It was wonderful to see you there. I'll have to check out some of the pics you took. We will also have to plan another poker party sometime in the near future so we can play together. It's always a blast playing with you and watching you torture Carrie! "Does he have the flush or is he bluffing?! Prolly not, but I don't know!! Fine, I'll call!!!" Anyways, know that I am thinking about you and praying for you. I will see you soon. love, Bill
Hey there! Carrie just informed me about what you are going through and told me about your blog. Cancer can be a rough thing as we've experienced it in our household many times. But, your positive attitude and loving family are the BEST things you could have to get you through! Know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I am hoping to get together with Carrie sometime over the holiday season and maybe we can make that into a visit with the family as well! I will keep checking in with you here as well as with Carrie. Glad to see you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Love, Melissa (the WC roomie!)
OK Brother of mine...I tried to call on Thanksgiving but got no answer. You were supposed to call me before you went to Hawaii!! Shame on you. Shame on me for not calling again since Thanksgiving. So glad you had a happy one with family and pain pills :>)
You should tell me when the best time to call is. I need to talk to you and find out how things are going. Chin up, we love you!
Karen and Buster
