TWO DAYS LEFT AND NERVOUS
July 8th, 2008
DEAR FAMILY AND FRIENDS
WELL, THE REALIZATION AND TIME TO LEAVE IS NEAR. I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU FOR YOUR BEST WISHES AND PRAYERS. MARILYN AND I ARE ANXIOUS TO GO AND ALSO I WOULD SAY, APPREHENSIVE. THAT’S A PRETTY GOOD WORD FOR IT. I THOUGHT THAT I WAS A PRETTY TOUGH GUY BUT AS TIME GROWS NEARER I REALIZE THAT MY WIFE IS THE “ROCK”. I KNOW WHAT I’M GOING THROUGH AND GUESS WHAT, I AM PRETTY NERVOUS. I BELIEVE IT IS THE UNKNOWN THAT IS BOTHERING ME. I ALSO SEE WHAT THIS CAN DO TO A WIFE AND LOVING CHILDREN. SO, I WILL BLOG YOU WITH ALL THAT IS GOING ON AND HOPEFULLY OUR SKYPE WILL WORK. MY NEXT BLOG WILL BE FROM CHINA AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL ALL BE ABLE SEE THAT THIS PROCEDURE WILL WORK. KIDS,HANG IN THERE, WE WILL OVERCOME THE INEVITABLE.
LOVE YOU
DAD–SHELLY

Shell & Mar,
We’ll be thinking of you a ton while you’re gone, and we can’t wait to celebrate with you (in Vegas!) when you get home. We love you both very much – so do “the handsome dog” and “the tramp”.
Love,
Luis & Shannon

Shel, you have such a inspiring attitude about everything. I admire you tremendously. Acupuncture and shock wave treatments in the same day, stay strong, everyone is thinking about you everyday and praying for the best results. We can’t wait until after your success in China to let the US know about how far behind we are in this type of treatment. GoCubs, Red Sox- Cubs World Series. Love and prayers Donna-Jim OConnell
