On June 1, 1949, a baby boy was born. Twenty-four years later, on September 15, 1973, that same young man became a dad to a baby girl who would grow to become one of his best friends. On June 1, 1996, he celebrated his 47th birthday with his beautiful wife and daughter by his side. Later that same month, he was diagnosed with prostate cancer. On June 1, 2017, as he celebrates his 68th birthday, that little girl’s hero will also start chemo again and begin the journey of kicking cancer’s ass for the sixth time!
It’s been 21 years since my dad’s initial prostate cancer diagnosis. Each time this wretched disease recurred, my dad has fought it with a vengeance. The fifth recurrence proved to be the toughest one yet when the cancer spread to the bone and effects of chemo ravaged his body. However, he has proved that anything is possible with the strength of a warrior, the support of so many friends and most of all, his undying faith in our almighty God.
It is now with his sixth recurrence, that I am calling on all of you - Denny’s Shotgun Riders - to help us fight this bastard of a disease once again!
You’ve got this, Dad, and as always, WE have got you!
We Won’t be Shaken - Building 429
This world has nothing for me. This life is not my own. I know you go before me and I am not alone. The mountain rises higher. The way seems so unclear. But I know that you go with me so I will never fear. I will trust in you.
Whatever will come our way, through fire or pouring rain. No, we won’t be shaken. Whatever tomorrow brings, together we’ll rise and sing that we won’t be shaken. No, we won’t be shaken.
You know my every longing. You’ve heard my every prayer. You’ve held me in my weakness ‘cause you are always there. So, I’ll stand in full surrender. It’s your way and not my own. My mind is set on nothing less than you and you alone. I will not be moved.
Whatever will come our way, through fire or pouring rain. No, we won’t be shaken. Whatever tomorrow brings, together we’ll rise and sing that we won’t be shaken.
No, we won’t be shaken.
WE WON’T BE SHAKEN!
