i had a couple tears and sobs on sunday and a few more tonight reading the blog.

but i am glad to hear him say he has picked up the fight. i knew he would, but it is a lot to swallow.

i am not sure i understand the statement that he has chosen this cancer and it has no power over him-
whatever helps him feel better is alright with me. but i like the idea that he is now fighting. his demeanor has changed. he plans to build a garden for the kids, he is taking Riley to Korean Sword Fighting, he has to get the lots re-vegetated so he can sell them. these are a few of the several things he mentioned--

he wondered if this was message from God a few days back

i read a nice verse in Ecclesiastes,chp 9 v 2................ "All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good and to the clean and to the" unclean.....................

anyway, we all get rained on whether we deserve it or not.

i lunched with him today and he was getting up for the chemo tomorrow, we spoke to an assistant at the Clinic- they are really very sweet and helpful. So he will have a long one tomorrow. he may be able and want to chat -or not, maybe he will sleep or read. i plan to stop by and will let you know how it goes.

after all the shock, tomorrow is the first day of solutions.
