Lindsay,
This is so neat about your Dad....so proud of how far he has come. I will have Lisanne try and post it on our blog. I love the phrase, "Never give up" - the original phrase obviously by Winston Churchill, and it's Lisanne and my little family motto. That said, your father is such an inspiration to so many people. Please tell them hello from me. Hope all is well with you guys too. Tell Chuck hi.

Christensen Family said...

Hooray for our survivor dads! I will always love you for that letter you wrote me after my dad had his stroke...I am going to love that book! I have to ask...what are you doing in Alaska? Did Chuck take a job there? My husband just threw the idea out to me a couple of weeks ago and I about flipped. I guess some recruiter came to their school. Anyway, will you email me about it 'cause we might be going there next year-- elizabeth_nielson@yahoo.com
