I WROTE THIS LAST NIGHT..........

IT’S A HARSH WAKE UP CALL WHEN YOU SEE/HEAR OF SOMEONE THAT IS FARTHER ALONG IN THEIR DISEASE AND YOU KNOW YOUR JOURNEY IS MOST LIKELY HEADED THAT WAY. I CAN BELIEVE TILL THE COWS COME HOME THAT EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OKAY-AND BELIEVE ME, I DO THINK AND HOPE TO THE HIGH HEAVENS THAT THIS JOURNEY IS A BRIDGE TO SOMETHING GRAND-SO GRAND THAT I WILL LOOK BACK ON THIS AND KNOW I'M A BETTER MAN FOR HAVING COMPLETED THIS JOURNEY....... BUT THAT DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANYTHING. MAKE NO MISTAKE MY ATTITUDE AND HEART ARE NEVER IN QUESTION-I’M JUST A REALIST AND EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE I GET THIS SICK FEELING THAT THIS IS NOT GOING TO TURN OUT WELL. SO THE BEST THING I CAN DO IS PUT IT DOWN ON PAPER AND LET IT ALL HANG OUT. THIS IS MY THERAPY. THIS IS ME UN-FILTERED. THIS IS MY NAKED MIND FOR ALL TO READ.

THANKS FOR LISTENING-IT’S NOW 11:15PM AND MY BED IS CALLING.

Drew, you have such strength and such a healthy attitude. You are an inspiration to everyone who reads your Blog.
All life is a journey. We all end up at the same destination someday. All of us. If your journey is a hard one, just think of all the people you are meeting and all the traveling you are doing and how wonderful your Mom and Sister are and how many new friends you are making. I guess that I am trying to let you know how knowing you is enriching so many of our lives. We all feel blessed by you.
Did you guess that you are a blessing to all of us? because you are.
God bless you mightily every day.
Syb and ian

I hope you understand and take this message as inspiration .......

when my son was very young his grandfather, my dad died. when it was time to go to the funeral home for the service he heard many people taking about the wake....he thought they said awake....he appeared to be so happy and said to me, i guess poppy is sleeping now as it must take a very long time to travel to heaven and when he gets there he will awake....this is what i hold on to as i age and think of my inevitable fate......my son's innocence of awakening in a place beyond this one and being in a place where our loved ones have already journeyed to. This was a happy process for him and he could not understand why we were so sad as one day we will all take our journey to be with poppy. he was quite happy to know that poppy went first as he will be building us, his family, a beautiful home where we will all live together.....

the journey is what you make it and drew you are making it a beautiful one, one that many others can only aspire to......to live and know you are an inspiration and medal of courage to many, will someday allow you to realize why you have been chosen for the path you now journey on.....

my prayers and thoughts are with you as you journey above and beyond today's dreams into tomorrow...

Hi:
I understand your moment's of fear, being lost and doubt. We have been delt with a hand of cards we don't like, but, try and make the best of it. I have those moments too. You are not alone.

Best. Mission Inn ... patientslike me.
