After The Walk

So after two days of grueling walks, emotional drains, loving conversations and great solidarity, we are done. The team did great in getting through the walk and supporting each other through the difficult times.



Each of us has taken something away from this journey. For me, I have been able to come to terms with what has occurred and realize that we are already well into the post-cancer life. Lynn is a survivor and we are ready for the rest of our life. In many ways this experience has burned away what was left from our collective baggage and really cemented our relationship.

I look forward to our future together.

I wanted to take a moment in this, my last post, to thank all those people who have been with us through the journey. As much or as little as you have participated, you were part of our lives and/or are part of our lives and have had an impact on us that has brought us here. We are going to get back to normal--which means communicating a different way.

I also look forward to our future together whatever that may be. Be in touch, let us know how you are doing, and we'll fill you in. Call. Email. Come visit. Whatever is your mode. And be patient. We are getting our training wheels back on to communicate directly with everyone.

Thank you for sharing all of your trials and tribulations with us, your friends and family. Both of you are very strong and loving people who have carried each other through a very difficult experience. I am proud of both of you.

Love, Scott

Last post!?!?!?!?!?! Ok I accept that the cancer part of the journey should end along with the website. If you don't come to my house for a BBQ this summer I will never forgive.

I am both humbled and inspired by the both of you. Thank you SO MUCH for sharing in this public way.

all the love there is -
