Other than "How's Monica doing?" this is probably the most common question that I get asked.  To be honest, it's also one of the most difficult questions to answer. It's easy for me to say "Monica's having a good day today", but it's much harder for me to admit that we are in need.  Frankly, that idea is humbling and it's frustrating.  It's humbling in the sense that our lives have been turned upside down and we are now ruled by forces outside of our control.  And it's frustrating in the sense that what we need most cannot be given by anyone.  Of course what we want most is a cure.  Unfortunately no one out there can give us that.

Everyone who is reading this page wants to do something for us.  It's human nature to try to help those in need.

Here lies the answer.

The best thing that you can do for us is to continue to be in our lives.  We really are doing OK...all things considered.  We have been blessed with some of the best family and friends that any family could ever have.  You see, it is that vast network of people - what I call the human spirit - who give us the strength to keep going.  I've told so many people that I get my solice from the many kids that I teach on and off the ice.  Their passion for life invigorates me.  It is what keeps me going.  You see, sometimes the most obvious answer to such a difficult question is not something that you can hold in your hand.  It is the energy that you give to us.

I know that this sounds mushy or even philosophical, but if you sit down and think about it, the most important gift that you can give another is time.  It is what I have promised Monica.  And it is all that she really wants from me.

There wiill be a time when we will need more that just time, but until that day, just tell us that you're thinking about us.

I open the blog to your thoughts...

Dale

      I just got word of your website today and wanted to say that we're all thinking of you and sending all our love your way! It's so generous of you to give us this method to stay in touch ~ Thank you! You're in our thoughts and prayers every single day. We often talk about what fun we had when we visited you, and I know that Austin and Aaron would want me to send a special hello to their cousins, so please pass it on! You are awesome and, yes, Monica is truly an Angel on Earth! Lots & lots of love to our far-away family!

        Thanks for all of your well wishes and love. It means a lot to me just to get to talk with people, because I do not know how I will feel each day so I can answer people on my good days. We miss you all as well.
        Lots of hugs and kisses. Monica

      Monica,
      It was great to see you out and about on your birthday. I hope it was a great day for you. Hearing about all you are doing for your boys and family for the future was such an inspiration. Amazing! You are often in my thoughts and prayers. This website is terrific and is just a testimonial to how much you think of others during your own personal battle.
      Love, Jill Odom

        Sounds like something similar with what we do for Christmas. I took my kid, Matt, too his grandparents on Christmas eve. Then on Christmas day his other grandparents stopped by in the morning and spent most of the day with us. I also had a really good Christmas and so did Matt.
