So glad to read about good news Andy.

Kay and planned a trip with our son to Japan catch a Viking ship to cruise the Alaskan Aleutian islands and down the inside passage to Vancouver in 2019. 
Our only son Tommy was diagnosed with  stage 4 renal  and passed away 5 days after his 37 bday on 22 Jan 2020. 
Kay has suffered greatly loosing our son affecting her health. 6 months ago see was diagnosed with Waldenstrom Macrohlobilinrmia (WM) blood cancer.

We kept the trip scheduled and she has been stable but weakened. Friday her heart went into atri flutter with high pulse rate, she has atrial fibrillation for several years.
Today she spent 4 hours getting treatment and wants to go on this trip, so we are going on a hope prayer.

Life is precious enjoy it🙏🏻

Two years in the making and Lynn has been able to build herself back up sufficiently to safely be back out on the water.  Didn't really know if that was ever going to be possible.

Should have never doubted her.  

She asked me to post this here  -

Thank you again

Great news.. that should bring a smile and a tear to everyone’s eyes. Thanks for sharing Andy.

Thats awesome. Really happy for both of you, huge step if it's been 2 years. Looks like a beautiful place to take her as well. I'm sure the whole trip was healing in its own way.

 


PS. for being off the water for 2 years that first hookset was impressive 😄

This is so wonderful, @A-Jay! I'm so so happy for both of you. Thanks for sharing. Outstanding!

The Crazy Good News continues ~

Lynn's been back out running the trails with Kya for a week now.

I am in total disbelief, ecstatic, but still disbelief.

From where she started when she was on a couple of rough roads,

to where she is now, is just hard to describe. 

If you're ever wondered what drives me to stay in shape

and get into the home gym every other day,

she's pictured below.

I'm 15 years older than my wife.

It's hard keeping up with Superwoman !

btw- Kya's pretty pumped too.
