Shot 23 Done in Dalals Mood
Monday, November 9, 2009 | A Rambling story

My shot 23 was done in a special way.........I met 3 very good friends here at DS down in dallas for a day and a half of fun and laughing, eating and lots of rambling on..........

I hadn't realized how much i needed to meet with friends who i share this disease with and to be near someone who truly understands........... It was absolutely something i would do again in a minutes notice........

After retiring to our room i did shot 23 and slept well but got up early and felt ok.......Not great but not bad...... We all had breakfast and said our goodbyes, kind of sad for me because i wanted to hang out longer........As the day went on i felt more tired than usual but got a good spurt of energy when i got home and washed vehicles........mostly thinking about my newly met friends.............

Great Memory

 

as i have said before...........I am blessed............Once again

    wow.. Marty.... I'm so glad you got to meet a few of your good friends...........that understand......... I know how much they mean to you........ I know I don't really understand it.. because I don't share the disease........ I guess I understand it thru Rob.......... because I talk to him about it....... I do know it's hard.......... and I hate that you all have to suffer with this..........
    I do.... I'm so glad you had a weekend with your friends... that you can share the memories with....... I hope one day I will meet my DS friends too..........

    Yes Marty, it makes a big difference to meet in person. Wish I had known, would've loved to go, & Twink too.
    You're doing great, my friend.

    It was kind of a spur of the moment thing. I was going to visit my sister for a weekend. Mema was going to see her son for a week. I coordinated so I'd get to see Mema, then we started talking about Bear and Marty living nearby. Sometimes the spontaneous meets are the best kind.
    You are SO special Marty. It was wonderful to meet you.
