Sorry for the delay, it's been a busy day! #4 Radiation Treatment down. 31 to go. Today I am thankful for my pets... 3-Chihuahua Dogs..".Taco Lee" - 11 years old," Nic Nic" - 4 years old," Lily Doll" - 3 years old. 1-Himalayan Cat..."Hemi" - 2 years old. 1-Teddy Bear Hamster..."Tanner" - 6 months old. 3-Dwarf Hamsters..."September" - 6 months old, "Sir Bites' Alot" - 6 months old, "Princess" - 6 months old. 1-Hermit Crab..."Bullet" - 1 years old, for showing me what truly means to give and show unconditional love. They have seen me at my best and worst and love me no matter what and require so little from me, yet give back so much, especially on my darkest days that makes me feel as if I am the most special. They keep me company, protect me, drive me nuts, make me laugh, cost a fortune, and don't do their share of the housework... and they're just like any other family member who fits right into our crazy life. If only they would have been blessed with more years on our earth, we would not have to give them up so soon and let them grow old with us. Without each and everyone of them, I would surely be lost cause they have an energy that brightens our days, livens our household and fills a place that would otherwise be void. I hope I can be the person they think I am. I try everyday! If you have something to share that your thankful today for, I wouldn't mind if you shared that with me. As always thanks for being in my life!
 
You need a bird to add to your pets. They talk back like some kids. My second wife married me because my Macaw called her Momma the first time he met her. I have driven the long road to treatment. Your family has my prayers. I'm enjoying your daily updates. I pray that you have the strength to keep them up.
 
we had a moluccan cockatoo years ago. when it come to ann and the bird, the bird was in charge. when we had our first child the bird plucked really bad so we gave him to someone who had time for him.

My sister had to rehome a cockatoo for the same reason. When they brought in new pets--not even other birds--the cockatoo would pluck himself nearly bald.


Y'all be strong.
 
#5 Radiation Treatment down. 30 to go. Today I am thankful for my Mother. My Mother is a woman like no other & no other is ever going to compare or take her place. She gave me life, nurtured me, fought for me, made me laugh, made me cry, wiped my tears, hugged me tight, watched me succeed, seen me fail, cheered me on, drove me crazy, but loved me more than herself. My Mother was beautiful on the inside & outside. She was tender & warm hearted, accepted people for who & what they were. She loved music, to cook, to dance, she loved to clean, she was very hands on, even the tiniest detail she took care of it. She loved the Lord! Oh did she love the Lord! She was my sunshine & walked through life beside me until her life got cut too short, too young. My Mother died 7 years ago at the age of 55. She started out with breast cancer at the age of 52, 3 years later she had brain cancer. When we found out the news from the doctor, she only lived 3 days. Losing my mother was like losing half of my life cause that day she died, I've been numb and my life has been at a stand still. She was my best critic, yet my strongest supporter. She touched the world with her presence, and I'm proud to be her daughter. If you have something to share, please do. I will be back on Monday for my 6th treatment and what I'm thankful for. As always thanks for being in my life!
 
Tie a knot in your rope... you are standing on a good foundation. Maybe you won't start plucking too.

Starting another week & going strong! #6 Radiation Treatment down. 29 to go. Today I am thankful for my Father... So I just wanted to take a moment to tell how my Father is without a doubt one of the hardest working men I have ever met. Growing up on a mill yard, My Father either was up during the night unloading trucks or he was out on the road driving a truck. All I remember mostly is him working all the time, who did the best he knew to do in raising us. My Father is smart, caring, very funny & is loved by all he has met. He just has this thing about him, once you know him you are grateful for having him in your life. As I get older, I begin to appreciate the richless of the lives that have been voluntarily shared with me & stop taking them for granted. And I start to understand that despite all of the things my parents might have done wrong by me, they got a lot of things right too. My Father just had open heart surgery. Which is doing great!! I've spent far more time with my Father making new memories now than I think I did as a kid, & for that time & those memories, I am eternally grateful. If you have anything to share, please do! I love to read what you guys have to say which is about ten times but I can't help it I just love it! As always thanks for being in my life!
 
Mrs. L, my dad had open heart surgery back in 1980 and he's still kickin' so, that should help ease your mind about your dad. Now that I have my own son, my dad and his actions toward me, have started to make more sense. I'm sure it's the same for you and your daughters. Now, this obsession with chainsaws? Nobody can explain that...... Glad you're GOOD. DW
 
My Dad was and is a bit of my foundation here on earth. I do however wish that I had listened to him more when I was younger. I might be retired now if I had, but that is my mistake. I'm very glad that you feel like and enjoy reading our comments here. I hope that your energy continues to be good. I look forward to reading your comments too.
 
Mrs. Landrum,

I am thankful for my wife of 14 years. she has taught me how to be the person that I knew I should be but never was. She has seen the sides of me that were broken and helped to heal those that she could and accept those that she couldn't. She is my best friend and strength. I have never met you and Terry but from what I have read in his posts you are also his best friend and he yours. The test you are being put through will only bring you closer together. I wish you both the best and will keep you in my thoughts. as my grandfather always told me, You gotta have a couple of bad days to really know what a good one is all about. Thank you for posting.
 
I am thankful im here at all. When i had esophogus cancer,after surgery in the ICU my gpa looked at my dad and said"he is not coming home with us",then was cryin.
that was 2000 and doin good!
prayin everyday for Mrs L and family!
i appreciate u posting.
 
#7 Radiation Treatment down. 28 to go. Today I am thankful for my Sister's... As they say a sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life. I have two sister's; Linda which was took to soon & died at birth. I never got to meet her in this lifetime cause I am the baby (youngest) in my family, but one day we will meet. My oldest sister Tammy, is an amazing woman, mother, grandmother, friend & sister. It seems like she has lost her way after mama died. I wish I could be there for her more but it's hard living apart from each other. A sister's love is never ending & shares a special connection that can never be broken & a little bit of childhood that can never be lost. Tammy is beautiful on the inside & out. She's passionate, just get her talking about her two girls & her four grandbabies that she loves & you can't miss the spark that lights up her face. I love my sister dearly, so whether we are together or we are miles apart, all she needs to do is reach for my hand & she will touch my heart like she always has! Have anything to share, please do! As always thanks for being in my life!
 
Thank YOU Ann for sharing with us! I am thankful that I am alive and can walk. I was in a severe motorcycle accident 2 years ago and almost lost both my legs. It was definitely a wake up call for me to appreciate every day you have here and for all you have. It is real easy to take the simple things for granted. Keep the updates coming!
 
Mrs. Landrum. I have a biological daughter (16) and 2 boys (6 and 9), both adopted. I am thankful for their birth parents who chose to place them with my wife and I. I cannot imagine life without them. It is hard to look at them and not think of their birth parents and how grateful I am to them. We met one set of birth parents. We were together at the hospital. When we were together at the hospital for the last time to say our goodbyes, I almost backed out. The pain in their decision was almost unbearable. It was the most difficult decision they ever made in their young lives and probably since; maybe the most difficult decision they ever have to make. They wept uncontrollably, like nothing I have ever seen before or since. My wife and I questioned whether we were doing the right thing. Witnessing them that day makes me appreciate them even more because I know how difficult and painful it was for them. They (both sets of birth parents) blessed me with my sons. There is no greater gift this side of heaven; and for that I am thankful. Honestly, there are no words to express my gratitude,,,thankful is inadequate.
 
#8 Radiation treatment down. 27 to go. Today I am thankful for my three Brother's... Kenneth Ray which was took to soon like my sister. He lived for two days. My oldest brother Tony is always reaching down & lifting people up. He has good soul & would do anything for anybody. He don't like change but he's not afraid to shine & take chances. His commitment to following his dreams inspires me to keep following mine. My other brother James is a hard worker, no matter how difficult that task may be & I love him dearly. Anything that I achieve, he will hold my hands in silence & shine with happiness (he is not good with showing his emotions). We lost a lot of time together. Memories lost. It is one of those things that we can never really make up for, due to time. But it's never to late to start. To the outside world we all grow old. But not to brother's & sister's. We know each other as we always were. We know each other's hearts. We share private family jokes. We remember family feuds & secrets, family grieves & joys. We live outside the touch of time. If you have anything to share, please do! As always thanks for being in my life!
