Luckiest Man Alive

Okay...admittedly I have been away from this blog for far too long. I have a little guilt for a number of reasons. It is not survivor's guilt, per se; but more along the lines of feeling bad that I have not spread good news as quick as the more disappointing. Part of it I know is based in the fact that I am quite afraid to get too cocky about my health.

Overall, the past few months have been filled with a healing that I was unprepared for. I came off the medicine at the end of December and started to let my body try its best to get back to its new normal. I have had three consectutive CT-scans that have shown no signs of cancer. The emotional roller coaster continues but these feelings are alot better than the ones in the depths of nasty medicines.



Most importantly, today is my 5th anniversary with my wonderful wife, Kimberly. I could never be where I am without her love and support. I came to the conclusion that "caregiver" doesn't capture what loved ones do in their capacity to help you heal. Hero seems more appropriate.

Peace,
Josh

P.S. The more I heal the more the downer feeling I was getting starts to fade regarding the idea that I would die before seeing us win a World Cup Championship. Hope lives on!!! GO USA!!!
