The Second Best Day ever!
March 26, 2008
When I was diagnosed with ALS in February of 2007 it was the shock of Melanie and my lives. To hear I probably had it for about a year really hit home. With my type of ALS the average lifespan is only 2-5 years. Tom Watson’s (the Championship pro golfer) caddy, Bruce Edwards, didn’t even last two years and I have the exact same type. I told the doctors to do what they had to do so that I can make it to March 26, 2008. Why you may ask? So I could make 25 years with the love of my life.
At our wedding twenty five years ago you could have received long odds that this day would never have happened, but our love kept growing and we’ve become quite a team and I am the luckiest man alive (to borrow Lou Gherig’s phrase at Yankee Stadium) to ever meet and marry someone like Melanie.
Thank you God, you truly blessed me and I appreciate it.
