Well.. I got the phone call this afternoon. My pet scan came back. I'm 100% Cancer Free!!! '22 has been a roller coaster ride for sure. God listened to your prayers. To all that donated through GoFundMe and Venmo, Thank You will never be enough. Not being able to work was a big pill to swallow. Ya'll saved me. Thanks for all the text, phone calls and cards. It kept me going. To my wife Monica, words will never describe my love for you. I would have never made it without you. You kept me sane through all of this. Kept up with everything, my meds, doctor appointments, driving me to them, the long chemo days sitting in the truck in the parking lot( each one took around 8 hrs once I got started) and radiation 5 days a week. I plan on showing her how much she means to me for the rest of my life. I owe her soo much. God knew I would need a dog. Magavito was by my side through all of this and for him to be a Belgian Malinois is a Wow moment in it self. I owe him a bunch of walks and truck rides in '23. I plan on giving back to the Smith Lake Community and Arley itself. My customers called and kept up with me. To my fellow officials and Detail Buds, you really came through for me and kept my spirits up. My kids, I would love to spend more time with you for sure. Today, I have thought a lot about Mom today. Mom didn't win her battle with Cancer. I plan on getting back to work in January. It will be a couple of jobs a week, not everyday starting out. I want to get Magavito certified as a therapy dog also to go to Children's. I hope he can pass. He loves kids and peeps. I just hope he will be calm enough to pass. My life has forever changed. What God has planned for me, I don't know. I just will take it day by day though. Merry Christmas to ALL. This one for me will be one not to forget. I'm staying above ground. Now, let's meet up for those lunch and dinners peeps. I'm ready to eat!!😉
