Default Early Christmas
Our early Christmas gift came in the form of a" clean bill of health" report for my son Jack who lost his right hip & leg to bone cancer in 2005. 15-1/2 years old and still in remission. So Merry Christmas everyone , especially you DARKSIDERS. John

Well, I can say that after a few days of worrying myself over a lot of petty problems that I have....Some of you really know how to put things into their proper prospective. I have my health and so does my immediate family.
Best wishes and God's blessings to you all!

My thoughts exactly as I was reading these posts. John, I have not been on here long enough to know you personally but I share in your joy. I have seen a friend recover this year from a liver transplant that medical minds said could not happen. I can't imagine the elation when the survivor is your own son. Perhaps I'll mention your story to the next person I hear complaining about how bad the parking is at the mall or how hectic their Christmas shopping is.

Thanks for sharing your family's joy with the rest of us. God bless and Merry Christmas.

direct them to their local ronald mcdonald house, they will find that life can get awhole lot worse overnight with no warning, i did!!!


i did however also learn that its not always upto the medical minds how things go whether good or bad they just go the way god meant them too
