I wanted to start by wishing everyone a great Thanksgiving! If there is one thing I have learned this year, it is the importance of friends and family. I am so thankful for all of you and don’t know where I would be without you. This year has been the most challenging year of my life. As I sit here and type this, I am in considerable pain and not able to walk very far without having to sit down. I look at my daughter, and it breaks my heart that I can’t “play” with her as a Dad should be able to. I feel bad for my wife that we don’t get to go on “date” nights or out for a drink like normal couples. I feel bad for my parents that they are continually worried about my health and well being. This is mentally and physically draining. Sometimes doubt creeps in, and I wonder if the surgeries and pain are even worth it. With all that being said, it is. Seeing the support and well wishes I receive from all of you makes me want to kick this cancer’s ass. I can’t and won’t let this cancer beat me. I am going to fight like hell to get better so I can be the dad, husband, and son my family deserves. I am thankful for all of you, and I am thankful to be here today. If you don’t mind, please say an extra prayer for me and my family. I wish you and your families nothing but the best, and if you ever need anything, please let me know. I owe you all so much!
