I am checking flows to see if Chamberlain is runnable in the morning and Laura is pushing me to open one gift after another. Looks like the rain will give me enough water for tomorrow and I read your blog among all these presents Laura is opening. My best gift ever, to know that you and your family are going to be fine. Hard work ahead but it is so nice to know things will just keep getting better. I won't need another present for a few years. Merry Christmas. <BR/>wigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769752025782368695.post-26884919678222517762008-12-24T14:56:00.000-08:002008-12-24T14:56:00.000-08:00spencer...another Marine saying "Yeah, though I wa...spencer...another Marine saying "Yeah, though I walk through the valley in the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil, because I am the toughest mother in the valley"<BR/>guess whoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769752025782368695.post-64599797990664557122008-12-24T13:11:00.000-08:002008-12-24T13:11:00.000-08:00...spencer...w/ a little rachmaninoff in the backg......spencer...w/ a little rachmaninoff in the background, i wanna send a warm season's greeting to you, sarah, your girls & not just your immediate family but every person who's extended a kind thought or helping hand in your direction...<BR/><BR/>...you have plenty of good miles to go, bud but you've been on a remarkable journey literally through the valley of the shadow of death & despite whatever fears you've had, you've carried yourself w/ such grace & composure...know that you do inspire others...<BR/><BR/>...time now for me to go out & appreciate the mud & the drizzle on the cross bike...life ain't just about sitting in the sunshine w/ a cool drink in yer hand...gotta go give thanks in my own little way...<BR/><BR/>...love to all...bikesgonewildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01489983012589939600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769752025782368695.post-85224210945580095532008-12-24T12:41:00.000-08:002008-12-24T12:41:00.000-08:00Spencer,Great news!!!!

Con...My buddy Spence... there is a Santa after all! Congrats my friend. I am not a very religious person, but I've prayed for you and Kelly and Lars a lot. I know that there is a River God. I am sure there is a Velo God, and I hope that all the Gods reward you with something a litle extra for all that you and your family has gone through and how hard you have fought this with your head held high. And Sarah too, your true life buddy. To see our kids grow older, to see your girls grow older, what a present. Wish I was there to see the smile on your face and give you a great big hug.
