Everyone gone home,Ahh I miss them already!

Thanks to all my friends and family for the extended time to visit with everyone, Donna even took a couple days off work to spend the time with the Uncles from out of state. It began Friday after Chemo when family started arriving at the house, 2 uncles from Texas (Austin and San Antonio areas) and an Aunt and Uncle from Preston Idaho came with their 5th wheel to set up camp in the driveway which was welcomed and convenient. Friday evening was a great time for all as I already blogged and Saturday was just as grand but full with the preparation for the Wedding itself and the Bride and Groom running on high emotion. I myself took Spencer to his flag football game which was one of his best performances this season with 3 touchdowns scored Way to go Spencer! We went to the Wedding ceremony that evening at the Builders Exchange and what a nice fall layout it was, beautiful in every aspect. I did have problems though myself, I made it through the ceremony but had to have my part of the family photos done so I could leave before pain set in to bad. I fought battles of pain several times as the weekend progressed and getting enough sleep is another current enemy that is keeping my focus. Just getting this blog written is a struggle as I doze off between sentences. We had some great times visiting having meals together and the kids even enjoyed playing new card games with everyone. Fun times by all, but as the Uncles from Texas left we got word they were laid over in LA and would have to take a route through Chicago to get home in time for special events back home, They probably wish they stayed in Redding an extra day. The last of the relatives left this morning now I'm lonely again, So keep the phone ringing comments on the blog going and email as much as you can so my sanity will keep intact and I won't need a doctor for that to. Scheduled events coming up include Chemo on Friday. Thanks and Love to all, Dave and Family
