He's No Stranger... to The Rain...

I have had a lot..... of time...

to think...

the last many weeks....

When I posted John's Homecoming... on fb.

I wanted to attach it...to a song...

I...immediately thought of the one... posted above....

John...is No Stranger... to The Rain....

I... thought about...his life....

the Trials... and Tribulation....

from long before... I was born....

'til...now....

This Man..... has always...

Danced... Through Hurricanes....

: )

Ruff Roads.... Mountains....

{I could write a Novel... on what John...has had to deal with.... from the time he was a child....but... you'll never hear him... complain.... ever. }

oh yeah....

cancer....

well....

it doesn't stand...a chance.

The only line.... I have a problem with.... in this song...

concerns.... 'Brothers'....

John's Brothers.... have been His Rock.....

through this....

{Including... Cousin Duff... {his 4th Brother... : ) and, Son...Justin.... : )

oh my.... }

You put John... Justin... Donald... Chuck.... Ken..... and Duff.... together...

all I can say to cancer.....

"RUN!!!!! RUN!!!! RUN!!!!!"

then...

you throw in a Devoted Daughter.... like Liz....

{John refers to her as his... 'Ziva'.... {from NCIS} : )

oh dear... : ) }

And The Rest.... of His...Loving Family.....

: )

and...

then...

there's me...

{I've been known to 'rumble'... a time or two.... for 'the cause'....}

yeah...

seriously... ?

Then...

There's....

You...

the ones... I... lean on... so Hard....

Our... Friends... and Neighbors....

along with...the Ones.... whom... I have never seen a face....

only... your... Heart....

You are All....

The Ones....

I call...

'My Angels'....

: )

God... Bless You....

You... Carry Us....now....

You...Send...The Power....

The Prayers....The Light...

The Positive....

That Bends... The Ear.....

of The Almighty....

: )

Thank You....

: )

I have had...many... folks asking....

'What are they saying.... what are his chances....?'

All I can say... is....

"I don't care... what they say.... or...give a moment's thought.... to their 'opinion'..."

and...

I won't...speak of it... think of it... or...

put it... into words....

{Peg was told... recently, if she had asked, two and a half years ago...

'how long'

they would have said....

"weeks.... maybe... months"....

that was at Mayo....

They are Shocked........

by her Progress......

{at Mayo!!! oh my! }

You see...

Prayers.... Light.... and Positive Thinking....

Work....

Negative...

Anything...

Fails.....

God Bless... You...

Thank You....

Love You....

Love...You...

Love...

You.
