Snubby Very nice pictures, and memories!!! I to like Clive Cussler's books!
With the way you deal with adversity, Snubby, surely you must know, you are leader here, an example for us to follow..PHP:
I recall you being way overweight, and then, on top of that, being diagnosed with some sort of weird nerve disease and told by your doctors that in your future you would be unable to walk, that you would be confined to life in a wheelchair...
And your saying, "Nah. I don't think so."
And then your losing a 100 lbs — or maybe more? — teaching yourself anew how to walk, taking longer and longer hikes, biking, working out in the gym, getting leaner and leaner.. fitter and fitter...
Becoming, for the young folks, "Buff Grandpa!" And then a year or so ago, dang near breaking the Guinness world record for max pushups in a minute..
You've sure impressed the hell out of me, with your focus, your discipline, and your achievements in circumstances where most of us would just... well.. fold.
So, this latest... Lisa... I have no words.
But maybe, Snubby. Just maybe...
You can show us, lead us, not in overcoming, because surely that is impossible, but in showing us how to survive, to accept, such a terrible blow, and to keep on going.
"Choogling," you call it.
You are in the midst of what all of us — those of us in wonderful marriages for which we are so profoundly grateful — fear most in its inevitability for either ourselves or for those we hold most dear: Bereavement.
Show us, once again, Snubby, how to survive this latest, and the greatest, of blows.
