This is so not moving in the same direction as your post, Cori, but when I see the headline, "Be Careful What You Wish For" my head goes back to the last cross country ride Joe participated in. Some of the spouses were sitting around a breakfast table waiting to see our guys arrive at their destination and one of the wives stated, "I don't want him to do this again." I nodded in agreement. That was the last ride Joe took, for the next year he was hit with CLL taking over his body and creating the devastating strokes from which no one thought he'd recover. He's riding again this year. I refuse to let my head go to that place where I hope he doesn't participate.

It's impossible to predict the future and all the ways what we say can be interpreted. I'm so glad he is participating again.
