Mark's Eighth Birthday Since Given Three Months to Live
To celebrate Mark's birthday this year we joined our friends and co-workers from Austin Family News magazine at the Dell Diamond to party on the private patio and watch baseball. The owners of Austin Family provided a chocolate birthday cake for Mark as well as hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, cookies and adult and children's beverages.. We did a second celebration after volunteering at MEDICO (Medical, Eye, Dental International Care Organization a day or two later. We packaged pills for upcoming MEDICO trips to Honduras and Nicaragua. We swapped stories with other volunteers telling about drinking river water purified with a few drops of chlorine solution and traveling into the Moskito Coast in WWII army planes and going scuba diving on Roatan after MEDICO trips. After volunteering we headed to Steiner Ranch Steakhouse which sits up on a hill overlooking Lake Travis. We celebrated Mark's birthday again outside on the patio. Mark only lets us celebrate his birthday for about a week. I celebrate mine for a month.

I wanted to drop in to see how Mark is doing. It was Jerry Wyman who first brought my attention to Mark, and ever since, Mark has been in my nightly prayers. I am so pleased to see his continuing story. Yesterday marked one year since Jerry died. His family mourns him, but it is good that there are some brave warriors who can beat this terrible cancer. Happy belated birthday, Mark!!
Keep on keepng on!
