At first I was thinking how great it was that you received the Yak for Fathers Day. Then I read your post describing the journey your family has taken, absolutely incredible and inspiring. Thank you for sharing!

+1 - what a great kid/family! :smt001

Inspiring on multiple levels.  You've got a lot to be proud of, and I'm not just talking about the Revo.  :beer3

Thanks everyone for the kind words, still can't believe he bought that kayak for me! Now to figure out where I am going to install the FF and additional rod holder.

Thought I would share one more thing, this article was written in 2010. One note, the tumor was softball sized not soccer ball sized.

Through all of this my wife and I have learned not to be surprised by anything and you never know what is going on in peoples lives, try to treat everyone with respect and give back. No matter what the issue/situation can't be any bigger.
