As you will see below we have officially changed our allegiance back to the football Cardinals. Sunday was a perfect way to culminate the weekend, no fights, no heart attacks, no chemo, no cancer just a great time. Through the kindness of the Kirk family and the Bidwell family, we took Big Don to the game. We got a parking spot closer than Larry Fitzgerald, and Big Don was allowed on the field before the game, met the president of the team and even some cheerleaders. He caught up with an old friend (Bob's old soccer coach is an NFL official) and had the biggest smile you could imagine. It was a great day, unless you root for the raiders.
Over the last couple months we have learned that you must embrace everyday and enjoy every moment. Thanks to a wonderful group of friends and family Big Don has been able to do that and hopefully some of the smiles you see reflect how thankful and happy he is for all of the love and support No need for a thousand words with these pictures just two Thank You.
Sounds like this weekend went much better than the last one! While I've been getting updates and thinking of and praying for all the Dulle "patients" in Arizona, I have to send a special hug to Kay today. You are in my thoughts just as much as those Dulle men!! Keep fighting to get better Donnie and Uncle Don and enjoy your extra time to visit. And to Kay...try to keep a little piece of care taker sanity. Love you all.

ReplyDeleteHi Dulles -- You guys are quite a bunch. Quick witted, tough, sassy, loving, and tough as hell. If love and prayers are the cure, you are good as gold. We miss all of you here in the Fish, and can't wait to get you back home where you belong! Cody is here with us this week hunting -- just got his antelope this morning and happy as can be. Don't know if you heard, but he and Karie are getting married July 9, 2011 (in Fargo). I know it's a tourist mecca in the summer (mosquitos and all), but hope you are in the mood for a good ole North Dakota party! Much love from all the Martinsons!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Big Don -- love the Kojak look. It works for you!! Son Don, you are doing a fantastic job on the blog; thank you. Mary and Bobbie, hang in there. And finally Kay, we are all here for you (24/7) if you need us. You are a rock.
