So glad to hear Andy is starting to emerge from his tunnel. It's a wonderful moment when that happens. I remember Steve after treatment ended sitting out the back in the sun. He would be staring off into his own little world and nothing could get through what seemed like a trance. But one day I had the stereo on and Robbie Williams Rock DJ came on. I was standing at the back door, just watching Steve because I knew he loved this song. Then the moment came. He slowly turned his head and his thumb went up. He wanted me to turn it up. The trance was broken. That was the beginning of him emerging from his tunnel. A moment, memory I will never forget.

Thinking of you and Andy always. Glad he has finally given in with the calories. When are these men ever going to learn that we wives know better lol. They could save themselves so much nagging if they just did as they were told in the beginning smile
