Hi Howie,
I finally got back to write one of the hardest things I ever tried to pen.
Nearly as hard as what I try to write in one of those cards I send my wife.
The real point I guess is women folk been tellin us menn forever that we don't get our heart felt words out very good, so it just ain't me. lol
But, I want to thank you for bringing this to cvoharley on my behalf.
I also wanted to send along a copy of what I fially sent as a message of thanks to HDF where you reside also.
As I have written before, I am a blessed man to have so many friends such as you and so many here.
Thank You my friends.
sincerely
Sam, chappy, friend
Hello:
JohnTN and Terry1955 and all the kind Folks here on HDForum,
I’ve chewed some and now want to attempt a few words concerning the act of kindness toward me by our very own, JohnTN and Terry1955 here at HDForum. I also want to add the nameless and selfless acts of all the those that have been so kind as to follow the lead there of.
What I would like to say is, and what really blows my mind the most is, I’m just not used to having such kindness coming my way. Not to say that I haven’t seen kindness in my life, because I have. It’s more like the direction and deliberate kindness by me and Sue and others toward “other” folks and not necessarily toward me is what's so different. Now that’s about as clear as mud. LOL I guess what I’m saying is simply the good old saying, “It’s easier to give than receive!” In fact, it’s hard to receive, but what’s harder is how to say Thank you in a way that’s not just so many words. Well, as it turns out, there’s really only one way anyone can really say thank you, and that’s from the heart. So, from the bottom of my heart, “Thank You All.”
I have received so many well wishes from my family members at HDForum, I couldn’t even begin to name all of you. I have also received by snail mail a couple of checks. I don’t know if I should name names, but I have decided not to do so on the forum. I will inform John of your name and amount so he can keep record of it all together on his end. I hope this will not offend anyone. If any want to remain completely anonymous please let me know and I will honor your request. If not, John will know as I receive or at least once a week. I plan to call him tomorrow.
I also received several skull rags and have worn and had my head warmed up already. It was in the 20s today and my unhairy head has sported some pretty cool headgear that was not only warm but cool, or would that be cool but warm? But anyway, Thank You for that as well. I will do my best to send personal thanks to each of you that have sent to my home. Far as what has gone to John’s end, well, I’m hoping that he keeps good records because I plan to reply to each and every one involved.
For a bit of wisdom, Never ever go from a thick hairy face and scalp to a nearly hairless head in New Hampshire in Feb. I’m telling you it’s just to chilly for that. I saw 2 of my grand boys yesterday, the 13 year old did a double take a few times, the 4 year old stopped in his tracks until I spoke, then he too gave me a big hug. I plan to see the other 2 soon as well, it will be the first time for them to see me without a full beard and head of hair also. Funny, my daughter is 33 and she said she couldn’t ever remember me without a beard and thick hair. I’m just glad that my hair isn’t falling into my food any more. LOL
Now it's past 2:30 pm and I'm headed for bed. I’m hoping for a good night sleep tonight now that the chemo sickness is in rest mode till next treatment on the 22, 23 & 24 of Feb. I didn’t know that the sickness lasted half of the 3 weeks from treatment to treatment.
Sincerely
Sam Legasse your friend in Sunapee, NH
