Down the home stretch


I had no idea that when I went to bed last night that today would be an emotional day. However, when I woke up at 5am...I realized that in a week I am going to have brain surgery. I teared up in the shower and when I pulled into work at 6:15. I really had no idea that this could be a tough week. Lyn gave me a card that said she thought I was brave with a rock that said Bravery. I guess I am brave in that I have been able to work, smile, be a Dad and live like little is wrong...while I have an egg pressing on my brain stem. I look back at the past month and can't believe I am in the home stretch.


I have been wanting to write about all of the wonderful things I have learned from this tumor. It sounds like sarcasm but I really do think it is one of the best things that has ever happened to me...I will explain it tomorrow because I want to look back in a month and see if I have changed my mind.

When Shea was about 8 and just got trough playing a little league game, Tony and Kenny asked him if he won. Shea said, no. I don't play to win i just play to have fun. The boys looked at each other and laughed. They said, are you kidding? Whos kid are you? I guess that isn't good parenting. But thats O.K. Tony I taught you to win. Your are winner and next Tuesday you are going to win the biggest event of your life. TONY YOUR MOTHER LOVES YOU! Now go kick some butt.
