Thanks you guys and Val!
Next to family... there is friends.... and it means a lot to here your support. I thank you again!
Engin ... Thanks for your kind words. There is different strengths in us all that help us all work with one another. That is what life is all about to better yourself and love your fellow man. Believe me I have learned from so many people about how to better myself and show kindness in return. I was humbled by my accident and live with a disability that has really enlightened my out look on life. Its to easy to be caught up in worldly things that we all strive for and desire instead of remembering to just try to love our fellow man. I think that is why we need our families or special people in our lives.... so that we all have a common ground of understanding love. Losing people in our lives...humbles us to think if there is more that we could of have done or shared with those loved ones. Once their gone its to late to the things you wish you could have done with them. I try to live my life to the fullest each day ... to have comfort in knowing that I did my best to show love and kindness to all those around me. There is many things for me to still work on...but with friends like you ... you help me understand my purpose in life more.
Take care you guys and all the best to you.

::)I am not sure what is going on with your mom but I hope you always remember your friend over here in Ontario is always thinking about you and always has an ear. You are a great person all around but awesome to have in this sport for many reasons. I am very proud to say you are a friend of mine and I look forward to every tourny we attend together. Your strength gives me more strength in everything every day.
Thanks for being with us in this family. ;D

So sorry to hear about your Mom, Vern. Cancer is so hard on the entire family. The pain is so intense. I lost my uncle not too long ago but I do cherish the time I had with him, even when he was sick. I know your mom is glad to spend time with her family, that's the best medicine for pain. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Take care friend, Denise

Thank you from both me and my gram!! It seems we are both in the same boat, but it is yet another learning experience and will help make us stronger!  To hear at the end of the day when she says she has had a good day and it was me that made it so....well words just can't express it. I agree that at this time it's doing what we can and knowing we did all that we could in the present instead of what you said about waiting until it is to late and can only look back and wish....I am very thankful to be given this time! I wish the two of you all the best.... don't hesitate if ya need an ear -k- ;D xoxo Val |
