Dear Family and Friends,
I am torn between quotes from two of the men I have most admired in my lifetime; rapidly approaching three-quarters of a century! Paraphrasing them both:-
Winston Churchill ended a stirring speech with the immortal words
"...........we will NEVER give in"
Many decades later Vince Lombardi , the coach of the green Bay Packers said;-
" Winning is NOT the important thing------it is the ONLY thing"
So it is with my beloved's Cancer.
Each minute it seems, almost hourly and certainly DAILY there appears another "hurdle" to overcome; another "challenge" to face and more mental anguish to endure. With the help of the good Lord and a support group of immediate Family and Friends ---really "Dear Friends"--- we are, as that great hymn states:-
MARCHING on to VICTORY
Yesterday, April 16th, the "Roller-Coaster Ride " reached both the "UPS" AND THE "DOWNS".
Forgetting the latter we now have an appointment next Monday at 1pm at UT- South West. I personally delivered nearly 300 pages of text and three (3) CDs to the Administration authorities. These will be reviewed before the meeting.
On a brighter note last night we celebrated "The Passover" with Beef Stew ; courtesy of "The Friends of St. Philips". This week-ends with "Foot-washing" tonight; "Stations of the Cross" on Friday and on Saturday all of our Grandchildren, except Drew ,will search the "Tribute" Children's play area for eggs. Sunday, of course we will all in our various churches enjoy
He is RISEN.
Love
Dad, Opa, Pop, Bro and Beloved Husband
Michael
