    Thinking of you both this AM and after re-reading your last post I just listened to Love Boat Captain.

    I know what the song is about but I think that you can feel the lyrics in your own life -- as you stated so clearly my friend -- love is clearly what holds things together.
    "Once you hold the hand of love,.. it's all surmountable."

    I know it is month end and all of the challenges that can bring - please reach out if you need anything.

    Thanks for your sweetness and encouragement I am definitely ready to take on this day. I woke up this morning thinking about all you people. You are all so amazing and caring. I would of never thought back in 1991-92 that the music of Pearl Jam would introduce me to such and incredible fan base/site/group of people. Nor would I have known that these individuals would be my life line and strength to survive the roughest waves imaginable. I am in awe and continually inspired by the love and compassion of you all.

    Hugs to everyone.



    Right back at you John & Shawna!
    My answer used to be very simple when people asked me 'Why do you love Pearl Jam so much?' ---- It is now so much more than the soundtrack of my adult life -- Pearl Jam and the community is a daily bright spot. I feel fortunate to have made friends with you and your family and draw much strength and inspiration from you.

    Good evening, One thing we have to straighten out here buddy. We are the lucky one's. We've been so fortunate to meet you and thank you for that and letting us in. It's meant more to us than you could possibly ever imagine.

    Your friends,
    John and Shawna

    Thank you so much for your continued support. We are very lucky to have you on our side. Each day remains full of stress and full of challenges. Even right now Shawna is in extreme pain and all I can do is Ice her back 20 min. on and 20 min. off and spray her back down with a all natural icy/hot substance. The emotions can be very high at times but after coming here we feel a sense of security. I hope the band realizes how lucky they are to have such an incredible and inspirational fan base. Thank you for everything and may life shower you with all of the love and joys that are upon this earth and help you whenever you are in your time of need. I'm always here for you and anyone else. shiz when it comes to any major health issues I think we're about ready to receive our doctorite anytime now. :lol:

    All of our love,
    John and Shawna[/quote]

    I really enjoyed the story about you guys. So wonderful that such a kind soul was there to help that poor man. I still think about you guys every day and hope that the path gets clearer as you make your way. I wish there was something more i could do to help make this easier for you and your wife. . At very least i need to get you guys some more watchables! I'm so thankful for this community. So thankful for everyone's kind words. I wish all of the people we came in contact with could be as kind and supportive as the pj folks.[/quote]

    Everyday I wake up I think about how many people out there care for us. The emotional roller coaster that we're on always seems so much smoother with you good people right by our side. I've said this before and I truly mean it. You all have been our lifeline. There's nothing more special than what you have already done for us. Thank you for your continued encouragement. It's been needed more than you know. Thanks M. and all of our good friends

    Hi John and Shawna,

    Just a note to hope that today is a better day and that you get some rest and relaxation. You continue to inspire me....so many lyrics of the PJ songs I am listening to apply to how I feel about what you do and who you are. How is Shawna today? And yourself. Are the kids holding up through all of this? Sending some "more" love your way. Be Sound.

    Thanks for asking J.,

    Shawna's leg healed up really well. She wanted to get out of the house. She is so tired of being here so we went on a drive and got out for a walk. Well, her leg gave out and she fell right on a barbed wire fence :oops: . It looked pretty serious. I took off my shoe and took my sock off to clean off the blood so it wouldn't get her socks messy. Instead of her complaining about her leg pain the only thing I heard was how mad she was that I ruined my sock. :lol:

    She has been through way to much this year to be bothered by a cut ;) Those are her exact words. She is a very strong woman. Our littlest Dorian had some trouble going back to school. He's been Mamma's little helper through the summer but for the first time in well over a year. I think he is realizing that the worst is over and he is finally starting to enjoy school and not worry so much. :D Our eldest Kolbi is quite the trooper. He is doing much better and seeing his smile again is breath taking. Well me?, That's a tough one. The plate is still overfilled and I'm struggling a bit with those issues I had a while back. Once I get us caught up and can figure out the new path all will be okay.

    Your friends,
    John,Shawna and the boy's

    JUST SAW THIS!!! Incredible & as I wipe tears from my cheeks I am humbled.
    John, you my friend, set the finest example of humanity, loyalty, perseverance & LOVE.
    Shawna is beautiful & your smiles brightened my day. As Dimi says in his wonderful Greeklish way,
    ....all gonna be ok!!

    Hi K.,

    I finally found some time to get back on here. You my friend are as sweet as they come. Thanks for the compliments :oops: . You made me cry and laugh at the same time. Those were some very special day's that was right after we got married "August 7th 2010". That was on our honeymoon and right before Shawna went downhill. We're working so hard to get back our lives. One day it will happen. :D Thanks for the love...

    John and Shawna Hugs...

    John, I just read the article!!! You never cease to amaze me. Such a great story and I'm sure a special experience for you. And like someone else said, it's very nice to put a face with a name as it does make it seem that much more personal. SEnding my love to you and Shawna.

    Hi J.,

    We should of put our pics on a long time ago. I guess we just weren't in a good place to do that though..
    Pj fans are good looking all alike. Have you seen the N.K.O.T.B. fan club lately.. :lol::lol: End of an era?

    I check here everyday for an update, John. Thinking you and your family, always <3

    Good evening M.

    Thank you for your support. I've been re-reading all of the posts everyday :D. I just haven't been able to get on due to all that's been going on. My mother has been really sick and she's been staying in a hospital on the other side of the United States from us. She has a disease called Addisons' disease. Her adrenaline glands quit working about 7 years ago.So basically whenever stress or emotions are to high her body can go into shut down temporarily. The episode before last was a very serious one which had everybody worried. I guess this one was much worse so they are keeping her in at least through tomorrow night for observation. Hopefully they can find out what may have caused things to get worse. It's hard living so far away from family. We miss her :(
