Damn Pete, I'm really sad to hear she's having this battle. We'll keep you folks in our thoughts and prayers.

Me too. Thanks. Sometimes I wonder why we have so many challenges. When I was born they told my mother I wouldn’t live longer than a few weeks. I spent the first six months of life in the hospital. Imagine first being told your first born wasn’t going to live then not taking him home for six months.

Oddly I was pretty healthy as a kid (had rickets likely from malabsorption of nutrients the beginning of Crohn’s before anyone knew. I’m bow legged
Like a cartoon cowboy.). Homeless at 17. Addict by 22.

Broke my back in a car accident in 96 - had to learn to walk again. Also lost my first brand new Vette at the same time. Then Heidi’s first cancer unrelated to this. The insurance company cancelled her policy retroactively and we lost everything we owned and worked for for two decades including a $6m company.

Made our way to Austin in 2006 with nothing. Slept on the floor of a rental house with our six year old son and a 110# GSD. IN 2007 I was diagnosed with severe Crohn’s disease then in 2010 leukemia. TBI in 2008 (passed out
From malnutrition and smashed my head) Had heat stroke in Nicaragua and six surgeries from 2018-2021 starting with emergency bowel resection. Dozens of hospitalizations. Then prostate cancer last year. Woof. Stick a fork in me.

I know everyone has problems but it seems the scale of ours is nuts. But we keep keepin on. Heidi has been generally healthy. She doesn’t even take any meds. So far The Boy has been healthy.

I hate suffering. Anybody's including mine. It stinks. But the truth is
everybody talks about the good times but are reluctant to tell about the
suffering times. We all have them, some worse than your family. We all
know what you are going thru.
You will have to be strong right now and carry the strength for your entire
family. You can do it and with grace. Be calm and know you are never
alone.
I am with you.
