Now one may think that we are crazy to look at
the day I was originally diagnosed with cancer as an anniversary… let alone a
day to celebrate… but most we certainly have something to celebrate. We look at
it is a time to celebrate the God given gift of life that we have all been given.
On top of this year’s celebration… and please
know that I am not looking to jinx myself… I am currently experiencing my best
and longest run of good health since My Adventures With Mantle Cell Lymphoma began.
Back in June of 2016 I had clear scans and they have been so since then. This
makes 4 years and 1 month of good health for me. Prior to this I went exactly 4
years (March 2009 through March 2013). So, saying this this is not only time
for us to celebrate life… it is also a time for us to celebrate my good health.
There is no doubt that I truly have so much to
be grateful for. I have a wonderful wife, who has been by my side throughout my
journey. I have 2 beautiful daughters (and their husbands) who I love dearly. And
I have an 8-month-old granddaughter who brings immense joy into my life.
Here is a picture of me and my granddaughter Millie
from a couple of weeks ago
For those who wonder why someone would put themselves through so
much to battle for their lives… well you just need to look at the picture and
the answer is easy. It is all about the love someone has for their family and
friends. Yes, as the song goes… “LOVE ALONE IS WORTH THE FIGHT”. Here is a
YouTube link to the song. Enjoy this awesome tune by Switchfoot.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and
from Jesus Christ the Father’s Son in truth and love.
2 John 1:3
More to come…
