Meery Christmas to Me and the Huddle

[pawsandclaws]

Just wanted you guys to know I have received the best Christmas gift anyone could ever get a few weeks ago. In late March I was diagnosed with a Stage 4 rare type of cancer. The doctors basically told me to get my affairs in order but they would do chemo and see what happened. They put my chances at less than 10% to see Christmas. 4 weeks ago my PET scan showed zero cancer anywhere. Docs were amazed. Miracles do happen.

What does this have to do with you guys? I was never a big forum poster on anything but was and always have been a big Pro football fan. Most years I would attend 2-3 Panther games with all my buds. I found this forum on my IPAD during Chemo and started reading it and lurking. Some of the posts made me horse laugh and took my mind off what was happening so I decided to join in the fun. There are a LOT of funny posters on here (I am a big fan of sarcasm).

Even the guys you all love to hate like TRD and PFFL have grains of truth in what they say and keep the board interesting and fresh. I keep out of it for the most part but loved to see the various comebacks.

At any rate I wanted you all to know this forum has provided entertainment and laughs to someone who sorely needed it. When my wife was by my side in Chemo she would ask....whats so funny? It was you guys.

Sorry for the length of this post but wanted to make a point that take NOTHING for granted, hug your kids and pet your dog.

PLEASE DO NOT PIE me on this post. I prefer to earn it!

Thanks guys and Merry Christmas to all of you.........
