Hi Dan:

Welcome back. You were missed. Sure sorry to hear about your wife's ordeal but pleased to hear about the positive outcome. My father died from this terrible, many faceted disease when I was twelve. Medical advances have come so far and yet have an arduous journey ahead. Thanks for sharing this good news. Do some songwriting when you are able. It should relieve some of the tension and pressures you have endured.

All the best,

Dave

Dan, Oh man! I'm SO THRILLED to hear that she is okay. You must have been completely totally out of your mind my friend. Give her my best, the poor thing. That is a mental & emotional TORTURE you guys pulled through.. God Bless both of you, this time and always.

Mike


Thanks!

Good news is always best! Welcome back. My wife has been having health problems the last few months but she's bouncing back. Not easy to deal with but necessary. How about writing a song/songs related to your experience? Lot of material there and a good place to start. My song "100% Healing" was written out of a situation with a 12 year old girl with Cancer. It became her song. She also fought and won! It also became important to a good friend of mine who later went through the breast cancer fight and won. Point is, you could write something from your experience that could help others with their fight.

There is no greater reward!

Welcome back.....
