I Made It! I Think?

Thanks, Wagon, good to see you as well. I spent yesterday with a scholar. A Viet Nam Vet with "mild" beast. He opened my eyes very wide open. My cancer could come back any time, so I must live every minute of my life to the fullest. I have to steel myself to the crowds, find a corner and enjoy whatever the event is.

This weekend, I'm entering my Austin Healey in a car show. Probably only get an honorable mention but it will be making the fullest of the day. Later this month is "Pickin' in the Pines", a bluegrass festable. Again, find my corner, lawn chair and a liter of a good German beer. There's more but I won't bore anyone.

I've lived in the dark for far too long. Time to shine some light in.

Best to ya'.

It's tough, isn't it Tilla! I've been cloistered behind doors for what, ten, fifteen years? I don't know how to talk to people, I've forgotten common courtesy a lot. I'm so used to talking to other Vets, I got nothing to say around civilians. "Nice day, eh?" WTF? "Yeah, sky's blue again!"

So, I don't say a lot. Say Yeah, a lot.

Sarge,

I've been away and as you know, I am always last to the party. But dammit, congratulations. I knew you were going through hell for a while, and it may continue, but way to go. You hung in there all the way.

You are now officially a trooper. You are going out on missions so report to the TOC and get your kit together. A big Ranger hand shake to the crotch. Hehe.
 
I remember you saying back a little while ago that you'd found the best cure for suicide, & the only surefire one I know of fighting for your life. ((Why the hell that always has to come along with puking is beyond me, but it seems to, one way or another o_O )). Since no invitations to go acquire a few smallish countries followed, kinda figured you were pinching nurses asses instead. And glad as f*ck for good news! :D Hell. Yes.

My cancer could come back any time, so I must live every minute of my life to the fullest. I have to steel myself to the crowds, find a corner and enjoy whatever the event is.

Yep.

Too damn stubborn to give up.

And too just pretty to die.

Looking forward to hearing 'bout your adventures, man. That shit ain't boring. It's a damn fine reminder.

Went to Vet Group yesterday and the Vet Center is going to be opening an office up here. I asked if they were going to allow Vets to volunteer for simple duties like answering the phone and such. Maybe. And then I told them to call me if I could help in setting up their office. Maybe. So, I'm sticking my damn foot in the door, if they don't cut off the circulation, I'm getting places.

Friday, I'll send you a copy of what I see in the mirror every day. Scare the shit out of ya'.

Tired, sick. Pushin' through.
