Journal entry by Stephanie Moody —
Happy Valentine Day! I thank the Lord that my valentine is still here. Gaylon is doing well.
He has chemotherapy every 5 weeks (which will continue for the rest of his life). During that 5 weeks there are two-three weeks where he should be very careful not to catch an illness or infection as the complications could be deadly. This has been hard. Gaylon is passionate about many things including people, the Food Shelf and Lion's Tap hamburgers. It has been 6 months of being very cautious. Now we are trying to decide what things he is willing to take a risk for. He went to Men's Prayer last Saturday morning and was so happy. He has plans to go back to the Food Shelf a few days a month. He loves helping people.
We talk often about life and what's important. Is life worth living if you can't do the things you love? I would keep him home and safe forever, but I don't think that would be fair. Gaylon will decide what's really important to him and if he's willing to take a risk. He loves all of you!
He has to stay home tomorrow! It's Valentine's day. We try and make Holidays memorable.
Thanks for everything!
Stephanie
