    Wow!
    Craig,

    That is quite a speach, made me cry actually. You are a beautiful person and have given so much to everyone. May you receive everything you have given and more in return and may your DaVinci robot surgery give you the NED you deserve! All my prayers for you. You are a truly special person.

    You are a great guy
    Craig, Your post was moving. I used to sing it with Carol King. Love the song. You will do great and I can't wait for you to be back on the board. Much love and support to you, Paula

    A blessing to us all
    Craig you truly are a blessing to each and every one of us here. I am not a semi colon but my husband is. I have some of the best friendship in my life because of this board. I ask every day everyone I know to remember you in their prayers. Know that we will be with you as you go down that long hall, with you when you are falling asleep, with you when you wake up and with you while you are recovering. No we can not be there physically but we will be with you in thought, in spirit and in prayer. Your writing or posts touch my heart and I am always so moved by your words. You have blessed me with your words of encouragement and wisdom. A friend I met here told me to hold on the rope she was throwing out and she would keep a tight hold on to it to pull me through. I and others have a strong hold of the rope...grap hold and we won't let you go. Look forward to your post when you are able...You will be in my thoughts and in my prayers always. Thanks for being such an inspiration to me and to others here. We love you and this board truly brings a closeness that few will ever experience.
    Hugs from another Texan

    Craig, my sweet friend, I can actually feel your hug and it warms my heart.

    I'll be praying extra special prayers for you the next week and will be looking forward to seeing you back here very, very soon. You are an inspiration to me and others. You will be missed.

    Big, Big, Big Southern Hug,

    We'll be there with you
    Maybe you could get the nurses to write SEMI-COLONS ROCK on your hospital gown.

    Remember the trick to wear a second gown like a coat so you don't moon everyone on your walks around the halls with your IV!!! You know they will have you up and walking pretty quickly.

    Let us hear from you or have someone post how you are doing. You know we will be wondering!!!

    Get well soon so you can have another one nighter!!!

    Craig - you are in my thoughts and Prayers for a speedy recovery. You are an inspiration to everyone on this board. I am only a caregiver, so I don't know how you feel, but when I log on and I see one of your posts I feel better about what my husband is going through. You help so many people daily. God Bless you and please go into this surgery with a strong will to live and your Faith. Margaret

    Hi my dear brother,you made
    Hi my dear brother,you made me tearful again.I am a poor lady,don't always make me cry.:)

    Craig,you are my big brother,you know me,you know my family in China.I hope one day if you would like to,you can travel with me back to China to see my family.My younger brother speaks good English,he can take you hang around the city and sightseeing places,and we can sing karaoke together.

    I have been praying for you for many days and I hope everything will go very well with the surgery.Life's detours are never easy,but hang in there,your efforts will surely lead you to success.You know,when the surgery is done,tumors are gone,this is always good,this is the step you got to take for being NED.

    Again you are in my prayers and I hope you will have a speedy recovery and everything will be fine.Take care.Hugsss.(If it is possible,please let anyone who may have access to the board give us updates)

    Praying for you
    Hi, Craig.

    You must have read my mind! I was so hoping you'd have time to do a post before your long trip down the hall. And here you have done it again. You touch my heart every time you post here.

    I will be praying HARD for you, and I will be so absolutely happy when we get the post that you have made it through the surgery okay and are improving. I have a Bible study group tomorrow night, and I will put you on the prayer list there, as well.

    When you go into surgery on Friday, you know that we will all be with you in spirit. You are a part of us now.

    I have to tell you, I was holding my breath when I read your list of friends. I SO wanted to be on that list!!! I'm honored to see that you listed me. *smiles*

    Can't wait to hear the good word!

    *hugs*

    Craig,
    You have such a way

    Craig,

    You have such a way with words. I hope to someday be as eloquent as you have been. Just know people across the nation have your back. We all will be praying for a succesful operation and speedy recovery. Keep up the positive attitude and you will sail through this with no problems. You are right about people on the message boards, such a truly caring and compassionate group we are, funny we all had to get cancer to be fortunate enough to connect with each other. I will be praying and thinking about you on Friday during my chemo. Stay strong bro.

    Dear One,
    I can't come near to the eloquence you have in expressing yourself, just hope I can express how much I care for you and all of our family on this board. It's obvious that many of us going thru this journey don't have quite the same amount of close friends we did before the big C. This disease can make us feel very lonely even when in a room full of people. Isn't it wonderful that we can come here and feel so comfortable and intimate with people we have never met. I mean how many people are close enough to tell "pooh" stories? ha I feel so blessed to call you my friend. You have inspired so many of us and I appreciate your selfless and caring ways.

    I want you to know that I have asked my family to pray for you. I was at a doctors appointment and saw the most beautiful picture of a surgeon in the operating room during surgery and at his side was a depiction of Jesus guiding his hands. That was a beautiful thought for me. I hope you feel the presence of the Lord carrying you thru this surgery and recovery..

    We will miss you soooo much, you come back to us as soon as you can. Make sure you take care of yourself and rest. If we all lived close I know the hospital waiting room would be full. Know that we are there in spirit.

    God Bless you friend,

    sundance
    You are awesome Craig, a thriver not just a survivor

    You will be around a LONG time as you have a job here on earth to do..........being an inspiration to those around you.

    Hopefully you will recieve as much from others (or more) than you give.

    I am a Christian and will pray that all goes just fine on Friday for you.Watch for angels masquerading as nurses.

    Why not print out the posts to you from us, take them with you to the hospital, take a recording of the song(s) for your IPod or whatever electronics you take with you.....

    Peace to you
