Tuesday Evening
Mark didn't feel up to posting today. He's been restless with his leg hurting. He hasn't slept well for the past few nights and tries to catch up on his sleep during the day. Today it seems, everybody and his brother felt the need to call between 1 p.m. and 6 p.m., even though we've told everybody not to call then - that's when he tries to nap. So, he's going to try to go to sleep earlier than usual tonight. The leg looks better. I think it's on the mend. Our love to all of you. NEVER GIVE UP!

Ow! I bet it IS hard to sleep with a banged up leg.
Much healing and rest to you two.
My love back to you. I have been thinking about you two. I would like to do a post about Mark and this site. But I DO NOT want to overstep my bounds. Would you give me permission to send more readers your way? Maybe the added comments could be a boost to you and Mark?
Please let me know.
Be blessed Rebecca.

DearMark and Rebecca:
Glad to hear you both are doing a little better.
Control is only an illusion. The only thing we can control is our attitude and how we look at things, and, Mark, you certainly are amazing for that. I know it is difficult when we are unable to do things as we used to and circumstances, for whatever reason, put us ina place where we can no longer be the strong one. God does do things for a reason, and, I will be first to admit that I won;t understand for years, nor neccessarily, in this lifetime, all of them. You should never feel less of a man, though that is easier said than done. Your inner strength is something everyone is proud of!!! You lead by setting an example for all of us through your attitude and love and courage to be handling the cancer that those of us can not even begin to comprhend how you handle is so well.
Taking care of people is not so much being the breadwinner or the physical strengths nad abilities ofwhat we do, but the enotional suport and love that we give. I realize, especially for a man, pride is a different animal, but I know that everyone reading your story and the support and courage that you give to others and Becca, fall far from short of being a true man. You are someone that we all take the greatest of pride in. Your feelings that you show, I am sure, mean more to everyone, especially rebecca, than anything physical you can do for her. I know that you will never give up nad will continue to push yourself. Yes, there are moments that you will fel down and discouraged. You are, after all, human. But NEVER consider that you are any less of a man because of any physical limitations you may face.
It is a harsh reality when our bodies will not allow us to do what we used to, especially under the circumstances, but I know that through every step, that God and your friends are with you every step of the way. We all love you and are extremely proud of you!!!
You are no less a man becuase of the latest setbacks, but more of one becuse you face them head on. You are a true inspiration to us all. God knows I would never be able to handle the cancer and evrything you and Rebecca are going through as well as you both are.
I am sure the dogs will enjoy racing down the street in the new wheelchair!!
God Bless you and Rebecca and NEVER GIVE UP!!!!
Love,
Joan
