1. This one's for you, Teddy!
I know you can't have alcohol during chemo, so here's a virtual one!

"May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be aways at your back and may
the sun shine down upon your face and God hold you in the palm of his hand...

.... until we meet again."

5. Men are allowed to cry and I think it's endearing and much needed....
if more men would cry instead of fighting, we would have a more peaceful world. :hug:

My son got upset just walking in in the middle of Teddy's speech

and was upset because he thought he had died.

He asked a lot of questions about his condition and "when will he die?".... ugh...

I had to explain to him that we don't know... that nobody knows....

He's so young... :cry: but he cried too.

:hug:

...and as an animal rights activist, I've just about seen it all. It's just that that video, coupled with her haunting voice, gets me every time.

28. I've done some video editing. I'd be helpless if I'd worked on that one.
I can't imagine holding it together and working for the hours it took to edit that 2-minute PSA.
