Keeping you in our thoughts here in Scotland. Your perseverance is inspiring and there's so much love there. I can only keep crossing my fingers for good news and wish you the breaks you so badly deserve....
Thank you so much man. Your positive thoughts came at the perfect time. Nights are the hardest around here. On average we're getting 3 hours sleep a night. Energy levels are low. Thank you again.
Made it back to civilization late last night....and was lying in bed thinking 'Crap, I forgot to check in to see if John & Shawna updated!' -- What a great start to the week to hear this news from your update. Stoked!
Thank you so much for your support. We have a very long road ahead still and all with challenges. You have been so kind to us. I hope one day to pay it forward. Know that you and everyone else that is a part of this can always send a PM anytime if they are needing emotional support of any kind. It's the least we can do.
Please please keep us in your thoughts life is extremely difficult. Their just seems to be challenge after challenge and all I can do is listen to PJ to make it through. The music feels so good right now. It's crazy how a song seems to change over and over with so many varied meanings and inspirations.
You and all of the other great people sticking by our side has truly been our rock and inspiration to survive the many ordeal after ordeals. Thank you....Thank you.....Thank you...
Just checking in with you...I'm so glad Shawna is feeling so much better!
May the coming days be filled with healing strength and everlasting happiness.
The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.
Just checking in with you...I'm so glad Shawna is feeling so much better!
May the coming days be filled with healing strength and everlasting happiness.
This has been a very tough evening. I'm pretty close to taking her to the E.R. So thank you for your beautiful thoughts. Believe me when I say that it goes straight to the heart and soul. It is so amazing to have such wonderful people express so much warmness and thoughtfulness.
Emotions are high and I can't express enough how much we appreciate the kindness.
Live with much love through the music and the years.

Happy Father's Day is difficult under these circumstances but you're a remarkable father and deserve recognition for that.
I am really sorry to hear about Shawna's set back after experiencing pain free days following the surgery.
I hope it's just a part of the healing process. The highs and lows your family is going though has got to be overwhelming and exhausting.

Thinking of you both this morning and an extra note on my Wishlist regarding your mother's health. It is going to be a good week guys!
I can't tell you enough how much I/we appreciate all of your support. It is pretty lonely over here with nobody stopping by to see my honey or even to offer an ear. We fortunately have been blessed with a lot of work coming continually coming in. The tricky part is taking care of her extreme pain issues until 5:30ish in the am hours almost every night and then going to work. Life has a funny way of catching up to you when you least expect it.
We have never been so tight on the fundage with so much work lined up. We are putting every ounce of positivity into this with hopes that her pain will diminish and life can get back to a more stable and heart filled road back to our long lost friend. "Happiness".
Thank you all for everything you all continue to do. Your words are saved in a very special place in our hearts. Shawna's follow up appointment is tomorrow and her 19 staples will hopefully be taken out. The incision is very red but looks to be healing. I don't understand how we've made it this far. Things are really rough right now but somehow I managed to get enough $$ together for our long trip tomorrow. We seem to be hanging on by a thread right now so please continue sending your good vibes, thoughts and prayers.
"But in the end the most important thing to accept is that no matter how alone you feel, how painful it can be, with the help of those around you, you'll get through this too."

Continue to believe...
These words came to mind when I was thinking of you guys today:
"FAITHFUL"
Plaque on the wall says that no one's slept here
It's rare to come upon a bridge that has not been around
Or been stepped on
Whatever the notion, we laced in our prayers
The man upstairs is used to all of this noise
I'm through with screaming
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
Like echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes like this
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
And echoes nobody hears, it goes, it goes, it goes
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
We're faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
Were' faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
So faithful, we all believe, we all believe it
M.Y.T.H. is
Belief in the game controls that keeps us in a box of fear
We never listen
Voice inside so drowned out
Drowned you are, you are, you are a furry thing
And everything is you
Me you, you me, it's all related
What's a boy to do?
Just be darling and I will be too
Faithful to you
I can't believe how fast everything is going right now. There's just not enough time in the day. I'll have some time tonight for another update. Shawna's staples are out and she is doing okay right now. Thank you for all of your love and inspiration. I'm looking forward to getting on here later. Have a great day.....

Sounds like everything went well today!
So happy to hear it. You guys pop into my thoughts at random times throughout the day, and it's hard not to run to check for updates right then.
I look forward to reading tonight's!
By the way, were you able to figure out your 10club renewal?
If not, I'd like to take care of it for you. Let me know.
Peace and love!

Good afternoon,
Sorry it took so long to respond. Yes the highs and lows are very difficult. Shawna's complaining about her leg for the very first time since the surgery. We can only hope that it is part of the healing process. Thank you so much for your well wishes and continued support. It means the world to us.
I sincerely hope that you will all feel better again soon. So sad to hear this after the awesome news. Sending love, strength and positive thoughts your way!
Thank you for your positive thoughts. We can really use them right now.
I know that you two will continue to find the strength you need to get through this, because you two are far stronger than you realize. Keep your heads up. Wishing you both all the best...
"But in the end the most important thing to accept is that no matter how alone you feel, how painful it can be, with the help of those around you, you'll get through this too."
Thanks for sharing this with us. There's no way we would of made it without you guy's by our side. It used to make me really sad to know that in the very beginning we did have some support from our church, neighbors and such but over time everyone quickly faded out.
It doesn't bother me as much anymore. The love, strength and support that has continued through all of you which is now well over a year is breath taking. You all will never completely understand how much you truly have helped us. With your strength and kindness there is no longer that gap, that emptiness. This life will eventually get better for us. Even on the worst of day's we still have faith that it will all work out in the end.
