My One Year Bonus

April 25, 2008; today I am one year old.

It has been one long, interesting year since I had my prostate surgery in Halifax. I wasn't sure I would make it this long. I really wasn't sure what the monster would do or if the great Dr. R and Dr. B could be able to remove all of those nasty cells. But it looks like they did. I had the best doctors in the world!

But here I am and I feel very grateful this morning. I thanked God on my knees and thank God Max was beside me as I said those prayers.

Max was great last year. Without he, I would not be as in good shape as I am.

I also thanked God for all those folks that made contact with their God. It is a wonderful feeling to know people care about me. It is a humbling thought and I hope I can repay the favor.

I am also thankful to those who passed on; Jim C and Scott. The monster took them this past year but not before I was able to shed a tear for them while they were living.

God, thank you for the past year; it is a bonus. I hope I get another bonus year and that I can be of assistance to You and others.

Finally, thank you "A" for showing me yesterday that you still love me. It was cold and my feet were wet, but the view was excellent! It took me back many, many years.
