Another milestone has passed.  Dan turned 78 years old on Saturday and we celebrated at Lake Griffin State park with about 35 friends and grandchildren. He has thrown his own birthday picnic for seven years! It has been traditionally held on the last week-end of October. Sunday, the shelter house protected us all from a brief, pop-up thunder storm. It could have been much worse.

Dan is a walking miracle. He endured esophageal cancer surgery almost 24 years ago after being informed that he had a slim chance of surviving five years. We met that year and married early the next Spring. We are blessed. We do not take a day for granted. We know God has a plan for our lives and we will run the race until He takes us home.

If you have read this post, I would appreciate a response. Tell me your survival story! I would love to hear it. And don't forget to add the path you have chosen to take and the outcome, to date.

Yaya
