SOMETIMES YOU JUST HAVE TO NAIL IT!


I don't know what the header made you think, But sitting around the house today, missing my wife because she is in the hospital in Boston, I was reflecting on our 25 plus years of marriage. I have known my wife for 29 years give or take a date or two. after our 5th year of marriage, 2 children just getting out of the military, her spinal cord started acting up, she has cancer in her spine when she was 12, spent most of her teen years in Children's in Boston.....Well to make a long story short (I hear the applause) She has never been out of pain, a 7 out of 10 always, she raised our children, put up with me and my antics, went from being paralyzed to walking even though she cant feel on her left side. all these years, in and out of hospitals never complaining about anything, always smiling through tremendous pain, and now she is going through it all over again. And the reason for the blog post is???? I welded up a little figure that depicts a person finishing the race of life, in victory, first place! This is how I see my wife someday, she is running the race, pushing it through, when the finish line comes we don't know that is up to GOD! BUT! she has never gave up and quit, and I know in my heart that when the time comes she will cross the finish line like my little piece of art. Enjoy! Oh by the way these are just nails a nut, washer  and a little welding
