    Sweetie, I know it's not about you and I know what you were saying. I just want you to know that I do enjoy hearing about your travels, trials and tribulations. I wish I could say I enjoy the updates on SP, but that would be far from the word I would use.

    It's kind of funny, but after following SP's posts here, and knowing you, I can just imagine the posts the 2 of you would have joking and teasing each other. Yet with all the ribbing going on, there would be useful info for others.

    I'm right here with ya in wishing for him to be able to go home.

    well things have changed, the doctors an mrs sp have chose to move sp to another area, he will have dialias for the next 2 weeks, they have agreed this is not a good quality of life for sp...if dialias dos not work in the mext two weeks, they will bring in hospis an untill sp passes, I can honestly say sp has given it a hell of a fight, mrs sp has fought all of this with all her might, but as of now , sp 's future is in his hands and gods.......... God speed ,sp God speed

    Dino, you are his legacy. In mentoring you, his life was made complete. Now it's up to you to keep his knowledge alive and one day choose your own protogé to pass that knowledge to.

    Injun said it well.

    Though miles and miles apart, together we are all holding the hands of the SP's as they go through this.

    Again Dino thanks for the update.

    Sometimes no matter what the medical profession tries to do- bodies just can not continue to fight. It is our lot in life to live and to die-we do not know our time but hopefully in our time we make some impact on those around us in a positive way and it seems that SP has made a very big impact. I hope that he knows in his heart of hearts all those that have cared for him in person or thru TTR. His life and stories will continue to live on through those of us that know or have 'known' of him.

    Thank you, very nicely put. It is reality.....:biggrin_25513: As much as I dont want to admitt any of this, Sp's wife has fought long and hard for the love of her life. Her kids have asked her "mom" is this fair to dad? He is hanging on. He has fought a hell of a battle! Mrs sp has pulled every rabbitt out of her hat to save her love!...but she to is realizeing what he is going thru it hurting him more than it is helping him. I think with the conversations I have had with her..an as much as it bothers me to hear her cry...I understand, I dont wish this on anyone! but life is life ,our bodys can only take so much....As far as a "quality of life " the terms the doctors use. the fianancil burdon, Mrs sp my hat is off to you:biggrin_25514: she is working two jobs, been trying to save her husben from obama care......but ,i think she has come to realize that mabey this is hurting him more than it is helping him......Yes i truley, hole heartedly wish things were different! you can tell by my past post....I would love to be discussing mistakes, accomplishments,and progresses with sp ..but I dont see this happening......I will be looseing a good friend an a mentor......It will be my hardest post when and if he passes.....there is still a small chance he could surprize everyone...but the doctors say it is a very small chance...but it is still a ray of hope....one i wish come true.......If god would give me one wish, it would be for sp to regain his health.....but I am handleing things as best i can...I dont like today dississon, but this is their wishes and a i respect that....sp has touched my life and helped me change it for the better. An all i can do is carry the torch an teach the way i have been taught....

    I wish sp the best, but things don't look well. He fought long and hard and like you said dino, he's tired and he's in God's hands now. I'll still pray for him and hope the tides change.

    One thing about all this, sp knows he has a loving wife by his side, a special caring friend that brings a smile to his face and a whole bunch of fellow truckers around the country rooting for him. Being rich in family and friends is worth more than any money in the world. sp has good warm thoughts in his final days dino and you played a big part in that.
