I can above all things else though state that I am truly thankful to have such a loving and supporting wife! Without her, I am not certain I would have remained calm and kept my insanity this year. Mandy, you are truly amazing and I hope you know how much I truly love you! I am thankful for the birth of my son and that he is very healthy, lovable, and just plain stinking fun :). I am very thankful for my overall health. We laugh all the time that I am probably the most healthy cancer patient in the world! I am thankful for the thoughts of encouragement, prayers, gifts, support and everything else that has been shown to my family during our darkest days in being diagnosed. I am thankful for Dr. Blum and the wonderful team of people at the James Cancer center, and additionally thankful to my PCP and ENT who were resilient in diagnosing me properly (I have read many horror stories of lymphoma patients being mis-diagnosed for years). In a sick way, I am thankful for my cancer especially that it is a favorable cancer :) . I am thankful for the many many many friends who have shown support not only to me, but also to Mandy. Thank you for donating your time, words and kindness and showing support for Team Hall during LTN. And lastly, I am very thankful for my wonderful family, from my brother to all my new brothers, my Mama Bear and Damnit Dave. Other than my wife, I have the BEST EVER support group who has to be the most loving and compassionate group on the planet. I am not sure how to ever truly say thank you to all of them, but to know they have my back is just an amazing feeling.
So when I awake from my triptophan induced acoma on Thanksgiving Day, know that I am still thinking about what a truly blessed man I am. Hope everyone has a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.
