Happy Birthday Dad

By Steve | Published: January 16, 2020
It’s hard to believe you would have been 97 today and even harder to believe it’s been 15 years since you left this earthly existence. To say you are thought of every day and missed terribly are gross understatements. Your presence is very strong and I’m fortunate that the love and memories only grow stronger [...]

2019 NYC Marathon

By Steve | Published: November 5, 2019

The short answer is YES. Especially when you run for all the right reasons and have all the right people with you. But [...]

By Steve | Published: November 1, 2019
A friend of our daughters submitted our story to Peloton for their Comeback promotion and as good fortune would have it, we won a Peloton bike with all the trimmings!! How very generous of Peloton and how very thoughtful of the friend who was so moved by our story that she took the time to [...]

On Surviving

By Steve | Published: October 22, 2019
When it’s chronic and incurable you don’t ever get to let your guard down and say “I survived that”. It’s never completely behind you and you live in the active state of survivorship each and every day. You have great days, you have good days, you have less than good days. Your shield is constantly [...]

By Steve | Published: October 17, 2019

Things to DO and BE

By Steve | Published: March 27, 2019
Fight the good fight, finish the race, & keep the faith. And while you’re at it… in no particular order… Be kind. Be patient. Be bold. Be humble. Be grateful. Be an example. Be early. Keep the glass ¾ full. Listen. Allow yourself to fail once in a while. Laugh at yourself. Relax. Hold the door. [...]

I’m on TOP

By Steve | Published: March 18, 2019
Last week I had a follow up with my oncolodoc. My blood work continues to behave and is responding exactly as hoped now being on the targeted therapy drug Ibrutinib for 5 months to treat my chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
