Happy Birthday, John!


It's a special weekend in my family!!  You see, my brother-in-law, John, is celebrating his second birthday!!  He received his bone marrow transplant for bone marrow cancer two years ago to prevent full-blown leukemia.  What a ride it has been.  You can read his thoughts about his birthday
in and entry in his journal too stubborn to die and in a poignant interview with his wife Krissy in Sometimes I Think.  They are worth reading!!  Happy Birthday, John!!  You are my wind and I love you!!

  6. You know what Val, you are right. John is a very special guy.  And you and Krissy are such dear friends, I couldn't ask for more.  I have written John & Krissy each, or commented in their journals. You are right it's a great celebration for John. Krissy has had some great stuff happen to her this week, but she greatly deserves it and I am thriled for her.  Most of all, thank you for sharing your family with me.  I thank God for all of you, you're my rock and you are always there for me.  God Bless you & remember I love you. Merry
