2010 year in review….
The year could not have been better. First off Vinnie finished his treatment and battle with cancer! His September treatment was his final and was just as anticlimactic as his first dose of chemo. I remember sitting there, when he got his first treatment, with Amy staring at him waiting for his hair to fall out. It happened along with the chubby cheeks and “Buda” belly. He is a remarkable young man. He took on this challenge like a real fighter. Since Vinnie has finished he has been doing great, he his growing gaining some weight and has a lot of energy.
Erin is also doing wonderful. She has adjusted to middle school and turning into a young lady. She is still dancing learning her “Jazz hands” and what not. She really seems to enjoy it, she has a few friends in class and it is a time for her, which is good. But as she get older I know there will be a problem. BOYS! I dread the day boy’s start coming around. She is funny, smart and well rounded person, of course boys will come around. I guess I need to get the guns ready. She really is a good kid. I could not be more proud.
Amy. What can I say. The last three years have been a test that many marriages fail, but not us. My job has an increased divorce rate plus a child with cancer. I knew we would make it. I love her and I know she loves me.
I rode in the MAW again and already have started to plan next year’s fundraisers. This is one of the few things I got out of the last three years that was positive. We have a great team and we participate in an incredible event. I cannot wait for the snow to melt so I can get out riding again.
Then there is Eddie. He is our newest member of the family. The kids have been hounding (no pun intended) for a dog and they finally broke me down. He really is a cute and puts a new spark in the house.
2011 can only get better. I will have 16 years on WFD and starting to look at retirement. It is 9 years away but the last 16 flew buy so I know it will be here before I know it.
