Folks, I love this community. It's a wonderful community full of awesome people that came together around awesome music. It has provided me with a perfect distraction from my own life and it's current troubles. Most of you know the story of the Bee, so I won't go into that so much. The part of the story that most of you don't know is that the docs found some lesions on my larynx in mid December. I go back on the 31st of January for further testing to find out if its cancer or not and what my treatment plan will be.
I realize that I may have been leaning on the Spaffnerds Facebook page a little heavily to distract me from the anxiety of it all. I apologize for getting a little extra exuberant with it and will do better.
Yes, the Bee was created for a couple community members who went through something no parent should ever have to endure. The Bee was created with some of the yarn from my grandmother's stash who passed of Cancer back in 2001. Now I may also face the challenge of fighting it. I don't know yet if it is cancer, but.. the doc that found the lesions was pretty concerned about them. This is why it has been so important to me to see the Bee on tour.
Anyway, just wanted to explain my erratic behavior. I will go now and leave you all in peace. May you have a Beautiful Day of dancing all the way home!
became what he has. I'm glad he is something for you and Dan to look forward to, and for everyone else too. A focal point and a reminder of this fragile life that we live. The whim that created him could never have imagined the way it has shaped our Spaffnerd world, for better or for worse. I'm so looking forward to riding the rail with you both at the place where it all began, Flagstaff, 2 weeks and 4 days short of one year later. So much has changed.
