I stopped going to the colon club after Marcos died. I felt so connected to him and his glass of red wine. It's such a horrible disease and I needed to stop focusing on it. Heading to your blog! Thanks so much for saying stopping by!

I'm guessing that yours were, too. 80% of recurrences happen the first two years, so it's looking pretty good for us (we had surgery around the same time).<br /><br />Since it looks like I'm going to be around for a while, I started writing, too.<br /><br />I only have one post on my blog, but I'm hoping to post twice a month. I'm glad to see you are doing well.<br /><br />https://thereasontoliveblog.wordpress.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-22350118579615097942015-12-29T00:10:00.334-05:002015-12-29T00:10:00.334-05:00Merry Christmas Shannon:) this is one of the nices...Merry Christmas Shannon:) this is one of the nicest updates you have written. I really liked hearing about your Daughter, your Fur Kids, and Jackson, who has grown up so much, and that Mary & everyone is doing well. Mark updates me every now & then, and always has positive things to say. I know he misses everyone, especially Jackson, since he tears up when I ask about him. You sound like you are doing well and enjoying Life. Have a great New Year and just enjoy! Take care..

Alas, no one takes the time, right? So we sit at our keyboards and create flattering missives for people to read and forget. I hope to send several cards to key friends - people that I share a long history with...<br /><br />And to you, and your adventurous soul, I offer this... a new year full of whimsy, full of visions, full of difference, full of passion, and filled with friendly laughter, red wine, and dreams lived. Happy Holidays!Ed Arabashttp://salemor.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-89488942855572390142015-12-14T22:17:51.640-05:002015-12-14T22:17:51.640-05:00Thank you Yolanda!

So far, only two this year - both of them family portraits (my favorite).<br /><br />I too wish you all the merriment of the season and a new year that is full of joy! xoGreen Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18427381976705069464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9132911385909998590.post-38288239568336451932015-12-14T11:23:20.321-05:002015-12-14T11:23:20.321-05:00I used to love sending out the Christmas Letter/s ...I used to love sending out the Christmas Letter/s (50) but when no one responded in kind, or even with a word of hello I stopped sending them out. I'm down to getting less than five cards a year now, sadly, it is a tradition that continues to fade. Thanks for sharing yours!<br /><br />Wishing you and yours a very Merry Holiday Season and a prosperous and peace filled New Year!Yolanda Renéehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09085436784133103221noreply@blogger.com
