We both took the day off on the anneverysary of Sweetheart's diagnosis, I accompanied her to a toronto location where Slice Network had arranged for a private photoshoot gearing towards cancer survivors. Andy had been selected to model in a calendar and as Miss August, she was proud to participate. the Calendar is a project which had stemmed from ( Read more... )

Thanks for the comments,

It's true, I rarely find the time to log on to my lifejournal account, but i do venture in sometimes. Like now, it's 130am, and i can't sleep. The dog is by Andy's side in bed and i can't tell which one is snoring. :)

i remember the emotional trysts i once wrote here and i'm thankful for my these memories i've banked online.

Hey everyone,

I'm still doing well, things have progressed since my last entry.

Andy is doing better, and had gone through her cancer treatment with challenges late last year. I'm happy to report that she's doing much better. i'm proud of her. My girl is getting stronger everyday and is back to work.

Since my last update, i've lost some freinds and ( Read more... )

I have not updated in weeks, t'is a shame i know.

i try to stay up to date with facebook and e-mails, but lately, i've even resorted to the telephone.

I'm planning this big party for my mother. (who'd have thunk it) and the other day, i called her freind Debbie, whom lives about three hours away. Debbie met Andy once at Mike's funeral in april. ( Read more... )

 
Speaking of purchases, I’ve just recently bought a BBQ (oh I’ve been waitin’ all season for a good sale).

So last month I cashed out for Tucker’s Chiropractic appointments and this time it was a toss up between buying a new cell phone, or a BBQ. I’m trying to spread out my spending, and convinced myself that despite reasonable sales, I shouldn’t ( Read more... )

 
Lately, I’ve felt like nearly ever visit is a record-breaker of sorts.

This long weekend was really no different than other weekends in the respect we’re always traveling. Usually it’s a different city, sometimes in the same day. This makes it hard to attend after-baseball social events. But this time, our trips were further in distance and more ( Read more... )

“Hi girls! Andy, you want a beer?” my dad asks through his joyful voice, which I never thought I’d hear in my life.
“Sure, that’d be great, thanks” sweetheart responds while she and I (followed closely by Tucker) make our way though my parents living room and into the backyard. I head right for my raspberry garden, which I can tell has been ( Read more... )

 
Since Andy was diagnosed with Cancer, it’s been even more of a whirlwind of stuff, and she was scheduled for surgery right away. Her aunt flew in from Vancouver and set herself up in our guest bedroom. Andy’s mother stayed with us for several days as well. I was so thankful Cherisse came with us to the hospital for Andy’s surgery (which was last ( Read more... )

I Speak:

To those whom come to a place

Where the road ahead veers two ways

Where they wait and watch factors unite

To form their future days.

When all the things they though they knew,

Never willed themselves real…

And all the things that seemed so perfect

Were never really true.

My Message is:

Don’t ever ( Read more... )

After an array of various medical appointments surrounding my lover’s chest, her final appointment was today.
"Hi sweetheart, how did the biopsy go??"

"About as good as a biopsy can go; I suppose…" she answers without any sarcasm. "They took four samples, the dude said that they take ( Read more... )
