Dad is back in the hospital to get more platlets, the expected stay is 3-4 days, so any of the family remember to check on mom even though she would disagree. I am not sure of Dad's room number but I am sure it is on the 8th floor. Take care all
Shannon, Any updates on a bone marrow donor for Grandpa? Last I heard all the U.S. donors had been ruled out and they were looking internationally. Do you know anything? Jamie
Cancer is so limited It cannot cripple love It cannot shatter hope It cannot erode faith It cannot eat away peace It cannot destroy confidence It cannot kill friendship It cannot shut out memories It cannot silence courage It cannot invade the soul It cannot reduce eternal life It cannot quench the spirit It cannot lesson the power of the resurrection

One of Dad's favorite poems that reminds us of his stregnth,
Invictus By William Ernest Henley; 1849-1903 Out of the night that covers me, Black as the Pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever Gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of Circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of Chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find me, unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
