    Game Over

    Game Over

    Hallalulah!  Praise God, the boys made it!

    It has been a great experience, one I’m so glad I was part of, and one I will always treasure.  I realized tonight, the one thing I have not seen these past 5 weeks - STARS - we are usually in bed before dark. Of course, we are up between 5:30 and 6 am.  Who knows, according to Joe, I may not see the stars until Sept. or Oct.  (Joe says I fall asleep in my chair by 7:30).

    I am so thankful that this journey has been completed and that we will all go home with wonderful memories.  Not that it has been easy, Dennis started the journey with bronchitis - then he gave his bugs to me and I had a cold and cough for 3 weeks - then Bobby has his sciatica which has affected his hip and leg - then Raleigh has his shoulder problem (which will be fixed surgically on July 2) - then Dennis had his kidney episode.  But in spite of all the problems, the guys finished what they had started and I am SO PROUD OF THEM!

    Tomorrow we head home - I am so thankful that we are all still hale and hearty and still love and support one another.   (Not that there weren’t some minor conflicts.)  Bobby wants to repeat this feat when he turns 60 - right now his brothers are not going to go - who knows?

    It will be great to be home but I’m sure I will always treasure the 5 weeks we spent together this special summertime of 2009.  I hope we have helped raise awareness for the needs of the Leukemia-Lymphoma Society, the Kidney Foundation and Caritas of Austin.

    Love & God Bless & Keep You One & All,
    Sandy & Boys
