Good evening. It was a gorgeous day today. Cold in the morning, and sunny and nice in the afternoon; 66 degrees today!! We had to run to Reno because I forgot to mail Bryon's car payment. So we just went to the Credit Union and paid it. It was a nice day for a drive to Reno. We have to go to Reno on Monday for David's oncology appointment, and it is supposed to be warmer then. So Spring has sprung!!! The flowers are blooming, the trees are flowering, and it is absolutely gorgeous. I do like Spring.

David did really good in PT today. Linda found another activity that David likes!! She said she is trying to find different things to keep him busy and working; and try to make it fun! He just hates the work he has to do. I can't say that I blame him. It is hard, it is painful, and it is not fun! But, again, the trooper that he is, he just does everything he is asked to do. Or tries at least. There are some things that he still has difficulty doing; but that is because of the lack of muscle in his leg. Basically, Linda wants to make sure he is safe when he walks. We have had to revise our goals for him. There are just some things he may never be able to do. *sigh* So, with God's help, we will get him the best he can be.

Tomorrow we are going to work in the yard. It is supposed to be another beautiful Spring day, so we are going to work out in the yard. I have the usual housework to do, but I just might rather be outside on such a nice day. Maybe I will be able to get all the inside AND outside work done!!

Vicki; you may repeat what I wrote about these kids. I wrote it as kind of a 'tribute' to all Osteosarcoma children, Mattie included. You are more than welcome to post it on Mattie's blog. The more we get the word out, the better. People who are not in our shoes have NO idea what these children go through. They think they do, but they don't. I was once told, "I know what David is going through, I don't have to see it. I am not stupid." With all due respect, they don't have a clue what David is going through. Sorry, I get quite emotional when people try to trivialize what David is going through.

Well, that is about it for tonight. Thank you for visiting. Thank you for your prayers. God bless you all. We love you.

There comes a point in your life when you realize

who matters,

who never did,

who won't anymore...

and who always will.

So, don't worry about people from your past,

there's a reason why they didn't make it to your future.
