Happy Tuesday everyone. Its a brilliant day out there today for sure! I have had a busy couple of weeks so me , for sure . I wrote a few weeks about a friend of our daughter s wedding and the fact that I could not negotiate the venue…. It was a beach wedding Beach nor could my wife and I afford the 2 night rental fee for the hotels down the cape.

I felt better once I explained to our friends truthfully about our situation. Honesty is always the best policy. The wedding was lovely as I have heard. God Bless Becca and Patrick as they embark on their journey as a newly married couple . May their faith grow stronger, their bond become more unshakable.

While I could not make the Cape wedding , a couple of weeks back two of our best friends in this world called Janet and I they asked me if a handicapped scooter would be useful to me. I said yes why? They told that one of their cousins husband had it but never had a chance to use it before he himself passed away.

 

I felt badly that that he did not get out the way he wanted to I know all too well about being stuck in the house months on end because I do not drive once again. Or if there is ice I do not want to risk a fall that could result in broken bones.

While talking to them they just really wanted us to come to spend the weekend with them quietly and we too wanted to just catch up with one another . So my wife and I decided that we would visit. We did the bus option 2 years ago this Dec. it was 5 hours and was very uncomfortable so that was not an option that we wanted to use again. My wife does not like long distance driving nor does she like City traffic so that too would not work.

 

Our friends Helen and Paul sent us roundtrip tickets 1st class on the Acela train to NY it also included red cap service so our luggage would be taken care of .They met us at Penn station and we returned to their home for a quiet evening.

Friday was a quiet day I was just relaxing to try and get my energy level back up. Friday evening we went to a steakhouse in NY for dinner with a couple of other mutual friends. and had a wonderful time. Afterward we went to see Jersey boys on Broadway. It was wonderful.

on Saturday we slept in late for us anyway and had breakfast. Helen actually made breakfast for us. Saturday was a quiet day so that I could get a running start into the evening plans. We got ready and went back to Broadway where we saw Wicked. It was another incredible show. My wife and I still could not tell you which show was better they were superb.

In this life things are not easy, for anyone. But I have felt very blessed by my wife, children, dad and my mom, my brothers and my sister the entire family structure. Friends galore from all fazes of our life’s have been present. Many new friends and our church community have brought such joy to our lives and situation.

 

For or our wonderful friends everyone of you and our dear family.

Thankyou for the love, support and prayers.

My daughter took me to the blood lab today so that I could be cleared for my next round of Ivastin and my chemo cycle as I made my way down the long corridor of the building I saw another gentleman coming out of the blood lab and he too was clearly struggling as he began to walk by me and I said when you do not have your health the rest of the stuff in life is really rediculous and he agreed. Cancer really sticks as is any other physical ailment but the other side of the equation is the lessons we all learn from them. We value things in much different ways once we have been put into the fire. I had some friends who I considered among our best friends who vanished. Some showed up apologetically for things they had done in the past and they were forgiven and we moved on with a clean slate. As the last 4 plus years they went back to their old ways and we have lost contact with them. We wish them well. And thank them for teaching us yet another life lesson. You see, the problem was never ours. It’s theirs. God calls us to forgive and forget that what we do.

For you all. God Bless You All😀
