My heart is still full of joy seeing the twins yesterday they are so cute, loveable, friendly and full of energy Brian and Amber are great parents doing an excellent job with these two. They are also very patient with each other and the twins. What a great day it was to be around them I would love to be their baby sitter on a full time basic. Not often you see two year olds that are this sweet.

Yesterday was a good day but did not even compare to today. Today Jan and I had the privilege of visiting Brian my youngest son his wife Amber and their twins. There is nothing like two year olds both a boy and girl. It made my day and was so exciting to see them first time since Christmas. They are talking up a storm and did not actually know how to deal with Grandpa Dale, I had my mask on and it was disturbing to them but by the time I left they were comfortable with me.

I have an appointment with a doctor that specializes in radiology he will be running an exam to see if I have any traces of cancer and will determine if I need radiation treatment. For the most part I think this is just a precaution and will function as a safety net. Life is so good when you have a great wife like I do Jan is the best and I hope I don’t embarrass her. I love her so much and she is so kind and understanding of my life is great when you have of wife like Jan and a husband like me.

Yesterday was another good day I can tell I am getting stronger and feeling better.  Had a few issues with my stomach but other than that I was okay. I am getting to the point that I want to get out of the house and go for a ride or do something. I have been cooped up since late July and now I am ready to go but with my immune system being what it am my doctor does not want me to compromise myself which is very hard. So I spend the majority of my time at home or going to the doctor’s office and medical labs for tests. Which is probably a good thing since I always get myself in trouble when I am out in public?

Yesterday was an uneventful day, somewhat low on the energy but very thankful to have been here for another Valentine’s Day. Jan makes me so happy she has a great sense of humor that just keeps me going. I love her laugh and positive attitude along with her being to articulate and a great culinary artisan. This is a great time to be alive and happily married to the woman of my dreams.

Yesterday was a good day I left the house for about an hour. I can’t have flowers in the house and I know Jan loves roses. Knowing Valentine’s Day is this week I decided that Jan needed an opportunity to have some roses so I wanted to surprise her and went to the flower shop to get some roses. Well I was not the only person in line and I got caught she called me on my cell phone. I answered and she said do you have company and I said know then she said are you watching TV and I said know then she said I hear voices and I said that is right I am at the store getting you something I will be at your school in 10 minutes. Well I got caught and it was no surprise Jan seems to always catch me and I don’t get to surprise her.

Another day in my slow recovery process from chemo and I am amazed at what a beating I actually took. I do feel a little bit better each day and I am so thankful for life, friends, family and the greatest work associates ever. This has truly been a humbling experience for me and I know how fragile like can be. I want to enjoy each day to its fullest and be the best I can be. In looking back I remember a statement that fits me so well “The older I get the better I know I use to be”.
