It will be an honor to mark that date because the 2 of you are so remarkable. Your love for one another, the respect that you give to each other, and your warmpth and sincerity set you 2 aside from most other couples. You are role models for us all everyday of our lives. Until the right man comes along and I can have the kind of relationship with him that I see in you I can rest a little easier knowing that your love helps to make this world a better place.<BR/><BR/>A nasty cold has kept me out of contact with you both for the past 2 weeks. While I know that that was the right thing to do, it was difficult nonetheless. I get such a charge of energy from you both whenever I see you. The cold is now gone, so like it or not, I'll be on your doorstep sooner than you think!<BR/><BR/>I hope all goes well at the airport on Sunday. Don't try to smuggle any contraband in or out of that place. John Ashcroft just might find you.bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09096003743095077419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16789804.post-1131833191423764102005-11-12T15:06:00.000-07:002005-11-12T15:06:00.000-07:00I am alway struck by how much I take for granted i...I am alway struck by how much I take for granted in my life. I am so touched by your note Susan and the strength that both you and Dan exhibit on a daily basis. Most days I can read the entries and approach them with a clinical eye and then rush off to research the meaning behind the counts or changes in treatment. Today however I have a tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. Somedays love and the surety that Dan will come through all of this just doesn't seem to be enough. I hate to feel helpless. Then there are the words that Dan wrote yesterday "There is no normal course of recovery, only individual courses." In my heart I know that this is all about recovery, Dan's recovery and recover he will! I love you all. Remember I am a phone call and 10 minutes away.Brother Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15527357187495364080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16789804.post-1131821406671754732005-11-12T11:50:00.000-07:002005-11-12T11:50:00.000-07:00Good Morning!
