The one thing that seemed confirmed to me. No one stands on that middle riser and has that gold medal hung around their neck without a great deal of hurt and hard work. As their national anthems salute their courage and their blessings, few stand without a sense of the miracle of the Olympics and their unworthiness to be so recognized. My dear friends I have run the race and despite the fact I will die sometime in the future, today I stand before you with my cancer having been beaten into submission. My cancer can never be cured but it is presently in total remission. God has allowed me three years that no one would have ever thought to be in my future. - I'm alive and no longer being eaten up and having my bones destroyed. Multiple myeloma Phase II will not kill me today. The pain and side-effects will still be there to keep me focused on the more important things of life. I thank my doctors and nurses, Our God and you for beseeching Him on my behalf. If God has blessed me with a continuation of my life here, please continue your prayers that I might live up to that awesome responsibility of appreciating life. The Olympian is being recognized for their potential. Thanks so much. Write me and keep the prayers coming.
