Day 0

It's day 0 because that's what it's called in hospital parlance.
We got reacquainted with six million of my old baby friends. It took about an hour to put them back into my bloodstream. I hope they're setting up a reunification party with my bone marrow where they'll hatch a plot to kill the multiple myeloma cells.
Needless to say I feel pretty good. That's mostly thanks to my best friend, Joan. She's been my anchor in this storm and every other opportunity for the last 35 years. She finds a way to land on the positive side of every one of life's challenges. When I wanted to start my own business, she not only encouraged me, she worked while I fulfilled my dream and ours. She feels the same way about Kevin's Runway Pilot business. She's not just a cheerleader, she speaks to every pilot and airline person with whom she comes in contact. She firmly believes in a positive outcome for my illness. Who am I to disagree, Joan has mentored us to success for over 35 years.God blessed me and every one with Joan, she's fun, outgoing, and travels life's highway with a glass that's always half full, never empty. I love her with every breath I take.

  3. "Cheers' To you and Joan for you full glass! I raise my glass to both of you. When you are weary and your life is burdensome, you find peace in each other, and strenght. I hope your strenght will increase, and your fears decrease. If you feel that some "traveling" Holy water from Lourdes will help I will immediately send it your way, I just recieved it back from Barbara Potash. It was very helpful for CJ. just let me know..... in the mean time keep the positive strenght that you get from within and from your love ones carry you on!!! Amen cousin!

    Having someone who you feel the way you do next to you and the amount of support from your entire family and friends always makes a world of a difference. Keeping you in our prayers!

  5. I knew Joan was your best friend when I first meet the two of you in England. She has always loved you with all she has and she alone can and will, will you to great health. Keep those babys partying and healthy. God be with you and your whole family.
