Boy, that's a scary title. I think I'll pass on that. :)
Push one in Princeville, IL. for your friend Moocollins (banned but lurking). Moo says hey BTW.
We had a good friend at church who went through something like this.....similar but different.....and writing emails to his friends with detailed explanations of what he was going through helped him AND the rest of us.
....Starting in to this, he had thinning unruly hair.......and knowing he was going into chemo. he decided to shave it and be done with it.
...now the therapy is over.............he's well again..........and he has grown the cutest, darkest, curliest hair.
...Everyone says he looks Italian now :^)
Three more thoughts........
...Let go & let God.
...and..."But hope that is seen is no hope at all.
Who hopes for what he already has?
But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently."
..."For nothing is impossible with God..."
We're outside (N) of Houston and if you decide on MD Anderson for treatment, you are cordially invited to stay with us for however long it takes. It's a bit of a trek into town, but at least it's free and it's clean. Lots of woods for walking, peace for renewal.
Please put a pin for Viera, Florida :)
Put a pin in for Las Vegas. every morning I watch the Wen Air line load up for the flight to area 51. I have a nice fur lined foil hat, if you would like one let me know.
Best or luck Joey, and remember we are thinking and praying for you, best of luck. Boo Boo 1000@hotmail.com
Well, I guess you better add one from Gastonia, NC .... just west of Charlotte. God be with you on this journey!
Stick another pin ,along with MatchettPI's, for Orlando!
Will keep you in our prayers!!
Our lives are in God's hands. We are all His children come to earth and will one day return. His will for us, and the plan He has for us is the most critical information we can derive and determine while on this earth. Once determined, other circumstances pale in comparison.
Our prayers are that His will for you will be manifest and that you and yours will be blessed by that knowledge and assurance ... come what may.
Keep the faith, keep pluggin ... you're an inspiration to all that hear of your story ... not because you have any kind of a teflon coating against it (in reality, no one does), but because of the very humanity of it, the questions, the striving ... and most of all the perserverance and faith. That is an example and a heritage to pass on to all.
God's best you you and yours my friend.
