    Man, 1998 seems a lifetime

    Man, 1998 seems a lifetime ago, it's when we move to this house, the kids were still kids, and the road just led upward, definitly a high point for Cindy and I, on this roller coaster life. Glad your still here Ron, the blog needs it's old timers..........................Dave

    Congratulations!

    Dear Ron,

    I know that the lingering effects of the treatments you received have made these last 18 years really tough.  I can only wish that in the years to come there are treatments to help bring more of the good things into your life.

    My heartfelt thanks to you for continuing to post here.  It means the world to all those you have responded to over the years.

    Hugs and love,

    Marie who loves kitties

    ah and the wild colonial boy lives on......well done Ron....19 years so hard to believe....this the start of my 16th....wish that I were not facing down a ton of more treatment but that's the way she goes.  We have a ton of snow as usual and the whole town gets sick with colds and flu....light deprivation sets in and then depression......send my a wee spot of sunshine dear Ronnie.....

    I want to be like you, too

    I know, it has not been an easy 18 years, but your strength is just amazing. 

    I would love to see 18 years, but don't know how strong I would be facing the kind of struggles that you have and do face. 

    image  Here's to 18 more, and may they be somewhat less of a struggle.
