Thank god!

Looks like most of us have taken you on as the brother figure. Better hurry and get well. You got alot of shoes to fill. . Glad your wife is thre to help you through it. See ya here next week in running shoes !

We've been concerned. Glad to hear he's doing well. He'll be home soon and will soon be melting away. He's got a long way to go, but this is a great start for him. Good luck Patrick!

Great job, buddy. I'm right there with you in a couple of weeks!
