Revelation 21 (selected)

1) Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 3) And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. 4) He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."

Rest in Peace
 Sweet El Roy (TexasCowboy)



I have fought the good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7

Hello, family....…
I feel pretty good today so I'm going to take advantage of it and touch base with everyone.
I'm not sure how much info about my day to day condition I can post without boring everyone out of their gourds, but I'll try to be brief. One reason I think this might be important is that there may be someone else out there who is traveling the same road, and my experiences might help.

I don't dwell on horror stories like so many people on the support Web sites. I never look at the whole forest; I concentrate on one tree at a time. When I open my eyes in the morning, I thank God for the gift of another day, and it's the only day that's important.
I'll try to clarify some of the things that became misconstrued over the last two weeks:
The whole body bone scan showed only one bright spot ("bright" equals "bad"). I expected that. It's in the area where the tumor destroyed the femur so there had to be some cancer cells left after the removal of the femur.

The area of the lungs effected by the cancer is in the middle lobe but it has NOT collapsed the lung. It's simply exerting pressure and decreasing the capacity of that area. This is causing shortness of breath, but I have some meds now that relieves the symptoms. The doctor said he could barely detect any change in size of the cancer nodules from the last CAT scan a few months ago.
[Connie, you can tell that old hound that's lucky enough to share your bed that I'll be around to pour the water bucket on his head at the tail gate party next year]

After all this time, I start chemical treatments on the 26th. I am sooo ready!
We can beat this thing, but we have to have the tools to do so.
This is a family effort, and I can feel the love and compassion from all over this land. I don't know why God chose me for this bountiful blessing, but I recognize it and I appreciate it.
Thank you, family, for all your thoughts and prayers.
God bless you all.

[paulat]

A ping to #582!!!

Lovely job, Dolly!

[Billie]

That is absolutely one of the most beautiful graphics I've ever seen, Lady Jag. Some wonderful tributes have been paid to this cowboy - he touched a lot of lives.

[deadhead]

[mylife]

You will be missed greatly

Please take a moment to remember the man (and Marine) who prayed from his hospital bed for the victims of the hurricanes.

In light of the above, can only add a humble Amen to TC's life. . .

. . .and prayers for those he loved who now must say good-bye. . .and wish a heart-felt God speed to TC.

[cyn]

Hi, Dolly -- thanks for putting that together. He was a very special person, and will be greatly missed.

[Txsleuth]

OMG...I can't believe I have been on FR all day and just now saw this...

Oh, it just breaks my heart---I am so, so sorry to hear that he lost the struggle...he just had so many setbacks.

Poor Faith...she has worked so hard...Faith, I know you gave him everything you had...even to the point of harming your own health...I am sure he loved you and appreciated you so very much.

I haven't been here since the Logan saga started...but I feel as if I have...the pictures of he and TC...are just wonderful.. Hopefully he will remember his Grandpa..and have the good memories to take with him.

God has brought you to him...TC. I have always believed that when my father died at what I considered a young age of 57....that he has been there watching and help comfort me for all these years.

TC I am sure you, now, can bring some comfort to those still here...to try to get on without you...but, just know that you will be missed by me. I have never met you..or even posted to you on any other thread...but, I feel the loss just the same.

God Bless you..and your family in this very difficult time.

Love
Sleuth

[anymouse]

Oh I don't know about that. If a way can be found to show us, TC will find it.

Maybe they both will team up for just one more mission to send CHIEF negotiator's killer to the other place.

[AZ_Cowboy]

I'm a bit late to this thread, but I will add my prayers to the long list from the good people here at FR.
