I met another new Survivor at the hospital on Saturday, it could've been me laying in that hospital bed. Just the way he joked around with the nurses I had the opportunity to meet his wife and two of his daughters I was there for lunch as his wife was feeding him and he looked at me with a big grin on his face and said I kind of like being pampered.

One of his daughters asked me if I played chess. I said yes. It in not real good. I told my new friend next time we would play a game of chess and I said the next time I'm here we will play a game of chess and when you win it won't be because I feel sorry for you. His daughter said his not too good either. It should be a good match between you two.

I told him to keep fighting, he said I like a good fight now and then but this one..... I said strokes don't fight fair it kind of Blind Sides you doesn't it?

I'm sure with his sense of humor he's going to come through all this pretty good I can't wait till tomorrow when I go back to the hospital and play a game of chess with my new buddy life is such a blessing.
