I have been setting back reflecting some lately. Kind of inspired by the song line "Life's been good to me so far". My wife Joan and I have been married for 48 years, we have two grown son's who have never been in any serious trouble just the normal hijinks most teenagers have pulled me included! Our oldest son and his wife have given us three wonderful grandsons. I must not forget my niece and Goddaughter who has also been a constant source of love for me also. My Wife has stood by me through thick and thin over these past 48 years, we've had good times and bad times financially. Not to mention I have made a few bone head mistakes over the years, I have regretted. When I was diagnosed with cancer in my right lung she took my hand and said we'll get through this together like we always have! She was by my side at every doctors visit helping me to explore the best option for me to pursue. The best option we decided on was to remove the a third of my right lung from which I am still trying to come back from, I may never fully recover the stamina I once had Our son's and grandsons have been willing to step up and help when they know I'm struggling some with the chore at hand.
I should add the group of photographers and models I work with. Several of the studios I've been privileged to work in are up quite a few flights of stairs. Many of them have watched for me to arrive and have come down to offer their help in bringing up my gear. So as the line from the song says Life's been good to me so far!
