well, the end of another week. I am feeling well and honestly feeling blessed.

I spent quite a bit a bit of time out on my deck today with my children, dad and our daughters in laws who are friends of ours too. The grill was going and the kids were in the pool. I was in and out of my home during this time calling my friends who are battling their cancers as well. I am now having difficulty getting through to them. One of my friends Ashwin last left a message when I was away to tell me that he had been in the hospital for 10 days and had just gotten out he had fluid in his lungs and they cannot figure what was causing it. So, he is tired of not feeling well and wants them to figure out how to mitigate this situation. Ashwin was a a receipent of a organ donor . And has had a lot of health issues, pain etc since that life event.

My my second friend that I have yet to hear back from is T. J. And he is just now at his 1 year anniversary of his pancreatic cancer diagnosis. I left another message for he and his family today should they want to talk.

T is a man based in Science. He believes that there is a creator but does not embrace the same rock solid faith foundation. I love both these guys A just clicked with me and I respected that fact that he and I could talk and support one another even thoughts clearly had different perspectives on our faith journeys.

plus, I understand pancreatic cancer too well it is a horrible journey and yet he smiles and keeps going. He asked me at one point if I would like to join he and his friends at a practice in his male choral group. He sang barbershop quartet. I looked at T and said no, I will ruin your music my voice is not what you need. He smiled and said Dan no you would fit in just fine. He is such a kind natured man. Always smiling and is living his victory the best that he could. He may not believe in the moment but kept calling me a Miracle.

For my friend T, I wish now that I said yes to your invite to join in that evening with your barbershop group. God bless you buddy .

God Bless You All please pray for Ash and for T. Joseph and for one another. Amen.
