Roo how are you? Bolts54 you hanging in there? Praying.

Roo, I have been watching from afar and drawn strength and wisdom from you. Turns out my own battle with the big C has taken a turn for the worse. Hate to bring the board down but had to chime in that your posts have been really hitting home with me now. I was diagnosed with a form of leukemia a little over a year ago which has, to use the words of my hematologist a few days ago, "taken hold." Just before last season, my bloodwork indicated I'd make it thru to game 17. Scary how quickly all that changed last week. I split season tickets with a couple of others so normally the schedule announcement would be a day of excitement as I'd get ready to lay claim to a few games. Instead, that emotion has been replaced with a bunch of questions. Will I be there? Do I bail on the group now?
Enough about my issues. I can't add much to what has already been said. God be with you. If I make it to my first tailgate, know that a toast to you will be the first order of the day! Who knows, maybe we'll both be there!

Sorry to hear that Bolts54 and I hope your tailgate wish and much more happens.

I have a golf buddy that got diagnosed with a form of leukemia a month ago and he’s undergoing regular radiation therapy while still playing golf several days a week. He’s a sturdy SOB! The radiation isn’tt a cure…just a temporary measure while he awaits a bone marrow transplant. Was that not an option for you?

Anyways, best wishes and prayers for you.

I have added you to my prayer list. Maybe we can pray one another to one more season!

Here's my best advice - think about what is ahead of you in Heaven. (Rev. 21:4) "He will wipe away the tears from our eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain."

In addition to all that we will get to see Jesus face to face. I find that very exciting. It will be hard to leave our families behind but the picture on the other end looks pretty darn good!

Hey, everybody--

This is *so* Roo. The man is in hospice, adding people to his prayer list. How can you *NOT* love this guy?!?

You are an inspiration, Terry. Sending love and light.

Lots of prayers and positive mojo to you both

Mojo brother!

Here's the latest - they brought me a hospital bed yesterday. They think I'm on my last days but I think I'm holding my own and maybe even improving a bit. I thank Jesus for that.

As for the bed - my recliner is more comfortable and I like it better. Happily, my 'man cave' is large so I have plenty of room for both of them. I'll just ignore the bed for now.

Next time you pray for me, also say a quick prayer for yourself thanking God for those breathes you take everyday because it sure is important!

Ah, perspective!
It's so easy to take for granted what we have.
Thanks for the reminder, Roo!
