OK, so Im either known as the jokester, the punter or the enforcer to just about everyone on here. Sometimes Im a jokester because I am just plain hilarious. Other times I use humor to mask true feelings. And sometimes I just randomly blurt out laughing because Im off my meds again. Today, Thanksgiving Day, has been a roller coaster of emotions. I have laughed, I have prayed and when I had a few moments to my self I cried. Some tears of sadness, but mostly tears of gratitude because I am blown away by the love and support I have received. Its both embarrassing yet very meaningful to me when I am showered with such loving attention. I have changed so much over the last few years (for the good, I hope) that when I prayed today I didnt ask to be cured, I simply asked for the strength to endure and to have acceptance for what Gods will is for me. I didnt even pray that I win the lottery! I did pray for a Steelers win on Sunday though. Lol A special shout out to Toni Livingston and Cathy Jo Blinn for creating this lovely page. In all seriousness, I dont know what lies ahead of me but I do know that after this day of emotions, I put my fighting gear on tomorrow and go to work. I go to work to get this heart fixed and to battle that nasty disease called cancer. So, bring it! I may have cancer, but cancer will never have me. Some of my enemies might say I have no heart. Not only will I show that I have one, but I will have one that works better than ever. A couple of times today I have said the odds are stacked against me, which might very well be the case. But Ive always fought my hardest when the odds arent in my favor. What I hope for the most is this: If whatever I have to go through can help the person or people behind me, then my fight, no matter the outcome, will have been worth it. So, on this Thanksgiving, I give thanks to everyone who stands with me in this fight. And I humbly give thanks to my savior for all the blessings in my life. I will never give up, but there may be times when I might feel like it. Those times wont last long because of my faith and loving people like you. I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving. Because of whats been done for me, I sure did. I am a much better person today than I was yesterday and I owe that to so many people. So if anyone is reading this and is struggling with health issues, physical or mental, keep on fighting the good fight and dont give up, dont ever give up! I believe this writing has earned me a piece of peanut butter pie. And, remember, if you come up short in your life at any time, just PUNT and move on to the next plan. Godspeed, I love you all - Bill
