At this hour, I have debated if I was going to post this ...

I have spent the day with my lovely wife, Brandy, at the hospital .... as she was admitted ...

For those, in the know, Brandy has battled (survived) with brain cancer [grade 4] for the past 3 years ...

But since I returned from the Convention, which she wanted to attend but her health would not allow, we have noticed that her body was not responding fully ...

And finally (this being the 2nd trip in the past week), the hospital admitted her.

But before I left, her doctor stated to me, that he fears that her brain that controls those components which we all easily take for granted may be shutting down ...

I asked her before I left tonight, what she wanted and she replied so simply, "all I wish is to take that trip to Seattle to meet your friends" (which was those chippers whom we planned to see in August) ...

Even in her troubles, she thought of me ... and my hobby ... and those I spoke so highly of ....

Brandy is 38 ...

So keep her in your prayers
