I want to thank Dean Haven and Bobbi Heath for bestowing the Sunshine Award on my blog. I post it now to acknowledge all of the wonderful people who have been so supportive and sent their prayers our way. My wife Rose was diagnosed with incurable follicular lymphoma in Aug/09, underwent chemo and other drug treatments, and has now been declared cancer FREE. We are elated and relieved. I don't know if it was the God Squad, as she lovingly refers to those who sent their prayers, and there were a lot of them, or the fact that she got this early and the treatments were perfect, but perhaps it was both. Her doctor has stated that if she can stay clear of it for the next five years, he doesn't feel it will ever come back. She has gotten her life back and I am thrilled to join her in the celebration.
Thank you so much to everyone, you are all truly amazing.
