DOSE OF REALITY

HI EVERYONE HAVEN'T BEEN ON FOR A LONG TIME . IT'S BEEN A TOUGH YEAR FOR MY FAMILY . MY WIFE GOT SHINGLES BACK IN JANUARY THAT WENT TO HER EYES AND BLINDED HER. A YEAR LATER AND THIRTY VISITS TO ST. JOSEPH'S HOSPITAL IN LONDON SHE HAS REGAINED ENOUGH VISION TO RETURN TO A MOSTLY NORMAL LIFE . I REALIZE THAT AFTER ALL MY STRUGGLES WITH MY WEIGHT OVER THE YEARS THAT THERE ARE THINGS IN LIFE THAT CAN ALWAYS BE WORSE . I THANK GOD FOR ALL MY GOOD FORTUNE . I THOUGHT MY WEIGHT LOSS WAS THE GREATEST THING TO EVER HAPPEN TO ME , BUT WHEN MY WIFE GOT HER LIFE BACK FROM REGAINING SOME OF HER VISION I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW TRULY GRATEFUL AND RELIEVED I AM .I REALIZE NOW IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE IT BAD IT CAN ALWAYS BE WORSE . LIFES A MARATHON KEEP YOUR CHIN UP ...........................ROGER COTE

Hi Roger,

Good to see you!!

Wow - that's very scary about what happened to your wife. Glad to hear that her vision is mostly restored and

that you are doing well!

Take care,

Dawn

A very Happy New Year to you and your wife, Roger.  I'm so glad to hear that she is recovering and doing well and that you're doing well too.  Take care, both of you.

Happy New Year Roger!

Your right we truly have so much to be "Thankful" for, thanks for sharing your story to keep us

in touch with reality!  Blessings to you and your wife in 2013! 

Wow that must have been really scary for her. I hope 2013 brings good fortune to both of you.

Happy New  Year . I hope 2013 will be  better for you and your wife than 2012. And indeed... Life is a marathon.. Best wishes.

Happy New Year!

Glad to hear that your wife has recovered, it must have been a scary time for you both.

I agree, life is a marathon, not a sprint.  In that marathon we run into hurdles.  It's not the number of hurdles we run into, it's how we deal with each one that matters.  It sounds like you've both done really well over this past one.

May 2013 be better than 2012, with smaller hurdles to face.

Thank you so much for kicking me in the butt. We never appreciate what we have until something happens.

I'm glad your wife is doing better.

I will try and appreciate things more and stop complaining about the little things.

Thanks for keeping it real.  Your story is a good reminder to all of us to live each day feeling grateful for what we have.  

So glad your wife is on the mend, Roger.  Happy New Year to both of you, and all the best for 2013.
