You have enspired people all around the world. As I read your blog daily and read your comments, I'm amazed at the support you are receiving from people in Canada, England, and even someone in Athens, Greece. It is truly phenomenal to see the amount of lives you have touched. I am so honored to have known you. Not too long ago, I did a good search on your name because I was trying to find out about the pancake breakfast, and did you know there are 83,000 hits to your name? It is amazing to think how much you have inspired people. <br /><br />Keep strong and keep cheering for those Blue Jackets! I'll be at the playoff game tomorrow cheering them on in your honor!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341826310463877735.post-37343594141580636352009-04-22T14:20:00.000-04:002009-04-22T14:20:00.000-04:00greetings from athens, greece. hang tough.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341826310463877735.post-42129371946295664202009-04-22T13:37:00.000-04:002009-04-22T13:37:00.000-04:00You are awesome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341826310463877735.post-4915944966704234882009-04-22T13:36:00.000-04:002009-04-22T13:36:00.000-04:00Bummer about the BJ going down 0-3 to the RedWings.

What's most important are the special memories created with friends and loved ones. It seems as though you are having no trouble with that! You continually amaze me with your positive attitude and courage to fight! You have been such an inspiration to everyone and I couldn't be more proud of you. <br />I know that you will continue your fight and keep reminding us all what a special guy you are! <br />Best wishes for you always!<br />Amy Cook( and the rest of the Cook family)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341826310463877735.post-73378194393255763172009-04-22T10:28:00.000-04:002009-04-22T10:28:00.000-04:00I heard George Strait&#39;s song Love Without End Amen on the radio on the way to work I thought of you Brad &amp; Ryan.....Ryan-when I see your Dad watch over you there is no denying his love for you....<br /><br />&quot;I got sent home from school one day with a shiner on my eye<br />Fighting was against the rules and it didnt matter why<br />When Dad got home I told that story just like Id rehearsed<br />Then stood there on those trembling knees and waited for the worst<br /><br />And he said, Let me tell you a secret, about a fathers love<br />A secret that my daddy said was just between us<br />He said daddies dont just love their children every now and then<br />Its a love without end, amen, its a love without end, amen<br /><br />When I became a father in the spring of 81<br />There was no doubt that stubborn boy was just like my fathers son<br />And when I thought my patience had been tested to the end<br />I took my daddys secret and I passed it on to him<br /><br />And I said, Let me tell you a secret, about a fathers love<br />A secret that my daddy said was just between us<br />I said daddies dont just love their children every now and then<br />Its a love without end, amen, its a love without end, amen<br /><br />Last night I dreamed Id died and stood outside those pearly gates<br />When suddenly I realized there must be some mistake<br />If they know half the stuff I done theyll never let me in<br />Then somewhere from the other side I heard these words again<br /><br />And they said, Let me tell you a secret, about a fathers love<br />A secret that my daddy said was just between us<br />You see daddies dont just love their children every now and then<br />Its a love without end, amen, its a love without end, amen&quot;Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
