Can't enjoy my wine man! The stress & distress it brings to the ones I love.


We must live & love every day as fully as we are allowed. And, look forward because that's the only direction you can go.


We will make an arrangement with a local colon cancer support group.


Multiple flushes of bloody stool, spontaneous initiation & resolution, over four hours in mid-December 2004. Analyzed by a PA to probably be a manifestation of diverticulitis shown on sigmoidoscopy 2 yrs before. Six weeks later further flushings resulted in ER admission to Holy Cross Hospital January 31, 2005.


Blood transfusion immediately, multiple tests, & scheduled colonoscopy resulted in surgery Feb 5, 2005, showing the presence of a tumor just above the appendix that had to be removed. A 2 foot long section of the colon was removed & the ends reattached. Biopsy showed stage 4 disease with metastasis to the peritoneum.

Ok folks its official.

We have locked the date and times for the Daddy Lane party of the century.

Put this on your calendar now. JUNE 21st Noon to Three at the North 4 Corners Recreational Center, Silver Spring MD.

If we can make this out to be the party we hope than there will be a Daddy Lane slide show along with fun music and some yummy food.

I will be sending out a mass e-mail, so e-mail me at ogelement@aol.com to get connected.

We will formulate the pot-luck list soon so let me know what you want to bring and we should be able to tell you what is needed to see if the two shall meet….uh, does that make any sense?

Annette and Jack just left with the magic happy makers, David and Josh. We went to the zoo yesterday and had a blast. The boys took their first subway ride (Davids eyes were as big as saucers upon seeing the train for the first time as it was coming out of the tunnel) and Josh kept waving to the Pandas. CUTE boys from a cute Mom’s who had the worlds cutest Daddy…..

Later!

Hi there Daddylane family. It sounds like you are going to celebrate the life of Dear Daddylane.

It is great you are including the rest of your extented family. I will celebrate a little on June 21 here in CA. Re-reading post that were shared with us. In this way I too can be part of the celebration.

Timmy,
I have been out of town and off the blogs for awhile. I was very sad to read the news about Daddy Lane. It really effected me.

Your family seems very special. The way everyone gathered to say goodbye, wow that blew me away. I was crying so hard after reading everything. I couldn’t sleep at all that night, it all just kind of haunted me.

I guess because I know I am facing the same thing eventually with stage 4 colon cancer with mets to the liver and lung. Daddy Lane was diagnosed a few months before me in 2005 and I have been watching the blog to see how he was doing.
All my sympathy
Donna

Hi all Daddylane family.

Hi here again.

I just read a blog for Carl Seal.
I just viewed his pictures.

I was so impressed that even though, the family were going through a lot .
you took the time to talk to some one new that was going through a hard time.

God Love you all.

sherri

Yes it is me again.

I know this may not be the time, but have you thought about a book telling the story of your wonderful Dad and the family that loves him?

I think it would be wonderful to share, as you have
with all of us,to share it with others.

It was just a thought.

Hug Sherri

Welcome Daddy Lane & your Wonderful Family,
I have just read your blogs and really enjoy all of your great family pictures. Wow, what an amazing family. You are an inspiration to me. Though, I have been fighting leukemia for 14 years now. you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I will be watching for your posts. God Bless, Patty
