Special Sharing

Normally when I get an e-mail from my friend and former colleague David its something to make me laugh or if its about his beloved Ottawa Senators something to snicker at.  But yesterday I received a note from him that brought me close to tears with happiness that I want to share.

David with a half glass of Guinness in his hand - something I never thought I'd see - normally its an empty glass!

My oncologist said to me today that my blood work and x-ray's were all clear ...

AND ... he said that after 8 years, there's little chance that the cancer will be back ...

AND ... he gave me the golden handshake, and doesn't wanna see me ever again ...

Here's hoping!

Dear friend that is such wonderful news and if I were around I'd buy you a Guinness - or two - to celebrate. I second your oncologist's wish. Complimenti and auguri.

And just for you David:  GO SENS! GO!

Go David, Go

Late last night I received an e-mail from David, a work colleague and friend - they aren't always the same thing - that had me cheering and tearing. He had a battle with cancer five years ago and yesterday his oncologist gave him the "all clear" - five years no cancer! To quote him "WooHoo!"

My work buds - Pauline, Shirly and David

One of the pleasures of going to the office every day was sharing jokes, stories, good things, bad things and Friday lunches with Dave. If we don't share the same enthusiasm for the Ottawa Senators that's because I've never really figured out why grown men would smack a small black cylinder around on a piece of ice. Or why other grown men (and women Shirly!) would get so worked up about it.

So, David in celebration I'm going to do something in public you never thought I'd do:

GO SENS, GO!
