This one’s obvious. Before I die from this disease I’d like to hear that someone found a cure for it.<br /><br /><strong>See AJ in His Uniform</strong> - AJ was always proud of his uniforms as a kid. He loved wearing the special goalie shirts and the Select soccer team jacket. I know he's proud now and I'd like to share it with him. <strong>DONE! - See below</strong><br /><br /><strong>Save a Life</strong> - I know, this is a tough one<br /><br /><strong>Change a Life</strong> - for the better <b>DONE! - See my 3/16/11 blog post<br /><br /></b><strong>See the Grand Canyon</strong> - My last attempt got snowed out.<br /><br /><strong>Reconcile With My Brother</strong> - completely. I miss him.<br /><br /><strong>Hike to the Top of Pyramid Mountain With Trrrrr</strong> - We tried last summer but I couldn’t make it. Trrrr thinks that was the first sign of my disease. She would be forging ahead and I’d be hanging back scouting out a place for the MedEvac Helicopter to land. I want Trrrr to see Tripod Rock. Maybe some of you will come with us. It would be fun. And besides, Trrrr may need help carrying me back down the mountain.<br /><br /><strong>Plant Marigolds With My Mother</strong> - I have a shot at this one ….. Spring is right around the corner <strong>DONE!!!! See the post below</strong><br /><br /><strong>See Heather Get the Job She Wants</strong> - She deserves it.<br /><br /><strong>Have a Group Hug</strong> - With my mother, my brother, and my sister <strong>DONE!

It was a beautiful day and a beautiful event. My mother was the first to fulfill one of my bucket list wishes. It was Mother's Day. Thanks Ma. I love you.<br /><br />On May 17, 2010 we did it a second time.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zKoStI5vWEM/S89wYYwWviI/AAAAAAAAAF8/B6wG6ds7AgU/s1600/017.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 214px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5462708437288140322" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_zKoStI5vWEM/S89wYYwWviI/AAAAAAAAAF8/B6wG6ds7AgU/s320/017.JPG" /></a><br />On April 20, 2010 my son AJ graduated from the police academy. In addition to experiencing extreme fatherly pride, I was able to see him in his uniform. I love you AJ. And I salute you.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zKoStI5vWEM/TPLrxaIWY3I/AAAAAAAAAII/U9Y7Xr1zGD4/s1600/101125Thanksgiving%2B%2528165%2529.JPG"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; FLOAT: right; HEIGHT: 214px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5544753325306962802" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_zKoStI5vWEM/TPLrxaIWY3I/AAAAAAAAAII/U9Y7Xr1zGD4/s320/101125Thanksgiving%2B%2528165%2529.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />On Thanksgiving day, 2010 I got the group hug with my mother, sister Ann and brother Tim.
