    Eric your the man or should I say King!lol
    Hi Eric,
    Sorry guys, private joke between Eric and I. LOL Eric you should be about 12 feet talk, shoulders back and a smile about a mile wide I am guessing. That had to feel sooooo good! You two are gonna be the next peas and carrots ya know. I am so proud of you and Craig. You guys get it. I see from all these posts you all get it too. Thanks guys I have struggled so long wondering when and if people cared, and if those who cared were going to ever step up, because one person cannot do all this we have to do it together to make things change in our care system. God bless all of you, and hang in there when it gets tough. If these little angels that are under 5 years old can do this crap I know you all can. Hugs and my open heart and arms. Make it a Great Day!!!

    Thanks to Acesfo
    I cannot take full credit for the idea. Acesfo private messaged me to tell me we needed to do something for Craig. He came up with the idea of putting up a post for Craig and private messaging all who responded. He also threw out the idea about the robot ( Every one of those things are things I wish I had thought of myself.) I just perfected the plan and did all the leg work. I do have to say it was my idea to name the robot Davinci and I picked a robot that had arms and hands that were similar to the Davinci machine. I know Acesfo is not looking for any credit but he is the silent partner and I would feel like a phony if I acted as though the whole thing was my idea. I just took the idea and ran with it.

    You are a great friend
    Eric, thank you for organizing such a beautiful gift for Craig. I am sure it will be something he will remember his whole life! I am amazed at the kindness of your spirit and how you are such a giver even going through what you are going through. I feel as if I know so many of you on this board even if I have not met any of you in person. Marie

    Appreciation
    Thank you for all the appreciation but doing this kind of thing is what fuels me. It`s not a chore to me. I think I get as much pleasure out of giving as the receiver does. It makes me feel good and it is also therapeutic. All of you have been just as giving in spite of your situation. It is alot to ask a cancer patient or care giver to part with their money when cancer itself is so financially draining but most of you did it anyway when you have your own set of problems. Those that did not give money gave moral support and that means more than things. Gifts are just an outward expression of appreciation. It`s not so much the gift itself as it is the thought behind it and let me tell you, Craig was blown away, actually he said blown away didn`t even describe it. He said he didn`t know what he did to deserve all this but I told him he does more for people than he thinks he does. It was all due to the generosity of the people on this board. It wouldn`t have meant as much if it just came from me.

    P.s.
    I was blown away by the response and most of you not only gave me money but you thanked me for letting you be a part of this. That is amazing.
