time in my life โ€“ watching my best friend go through this torture and hellish nightmare since March 19th when she entered the hospital when a blood test turned up dirty with a dangerous white cell count after she was bitten by a spider in Australia and struggled through pain in Fiji.

If you want to know what the first 60 days were like, I wrote about the horrors of chemotherapy and cancer. Like I said, itโ€™s a book, really. It was excruciating.

Since she came home on April 29th, weโ€™ve tried to follow doctors orders and live our lives and happily and safely as possible. And every time we walk out the door people approach us and give us the kindest expressions. Every time we take fun pictures of our journey, people send love and support our way.

We went to the Orioles game on Monday and were approached by a myriad of well wishers โ€“ despite her wearing that hideous Boston Red Sox jersey!

Weโ€™ve randomly bumped into leukemia patients, survivors and chatted with families of victims of cancer. Itโ€™s been a lot of heavy lifting but weโ€™re also gaining the gifts of this treacherous adventure.

Sheโ€™s been pretty healthy for about three weeks and itโ€™s felt like a lifetime.

We have a lot of plans and things we want to do with our lives โ€“ a complete bucket list of journeys that lie ahead and places weโ€™ll visit once sheโ€™s healthy. Weโ€™ve been inspired by people like Erik Sauer and Michelle Bresnick Walsh from There Goes My Hero. Next week, Big Al from Alโ€™s Seafood in Essex (another survivor) will sit in on The Happy Hours at WNST.net & AM 1570.

Iโ€™m enjoying being back on the radio and talking about life, baseball and sports. Iโ€™m inspired by my wifeโ€™s tenacity, toughness, amazing spirit and will to live. Iโ€™m honored to be given a gift and a platform to help save lives in the future and itโ€™s in our DNA to pay it forward for the generosity of this perfect stranger who is stepping forward to save my wifeโ€™s life next week.

She walks into the hospital today as strong as she was when that spider bit her in Brisbane, Australia on Feb. 26. Sheโ€™s ready to fight. Weโ€™re ready to live and to inspire and to pay it forward.

Thanks for following along and being kind to us.

And please think good thoughtsโ€ฆbecause we are ๐Ÿ˜‰
