I have had a nice day. We went to church early and had friends over in the afternoon. My brother Dan and sisters Erin and Mary arrived about 5pm. My brother-in-law Mark and his wife Bonnie arrived a few minutes ago. Many thoughtful phone calls and texts all day. I have had mostly good thoughts today. I am at peace tonight with the plan, but I never thought I would be so nervous. It was very tough saying goodnight to the kids. They will be my inspiration for recovery. Kathy will post tomorrow for updates.
I heard a nice quote from an unlikely source, Jim Tressel; “On your good days be great, on your bad days be good, and on every other day try to be better”. Tomorrow, I will try and have a good day.
Mike,
You sounded calm and focused just now. I know you’re ready and will do fine. Our thoughts will be with you tomorrow. Can’t wait to try out the “tropicana” thing down the road. All the best. John
Michael, as a doctor, you’ve given new life to so many people, now it’s your time to receive the gift of good medicine. You’re on our minds & in our hearts & we know you will do well!
