All along there have been very special people that have been there with me since the beginning and in my own special way I want to mention them. When I came to North Carolina I meet a very special lady and her husband my very, very dear friends Anna and Bob. Anna and I hit it off immediately both of us being transplants we had lots and lots of things in common. As with most of us that work, have families, we tend to sometimes spend time without seeing each other....yes we both sometimes do that, but somehow we pick-up exactly were we left when we are together.

We have shared many fun times, sometimes as couples, and sometimes as girls spending girly time together, and God knows we have some great stories.

But when I called my Anna and told her of my situation, she responded exactly how I had expected and much, much more. Anna and Bob have been going through their own difficult times as their oldest dog (Taxi) is also experiencing Cancer and he has been going through some very difficult treatements to survive this unpredictable disease. Taxi is not an ordinary dog, he is part of our family and we pray for him and love him with the same comittment as we would any human being.

Through all this Anna has been there for me every single day, at all hours of the day and night, looking after me and making sure that I am doing well. I want to thank you for your continous love and devotion to our friendship and to Bob for sharing you with me. To you Taxi my nephew I dedicate this portion of my blog and hope to celebrate many more birthday parties together!
