I am 46. I was too young to notice much other than my dad and brother watching football on TV, so it had to have been the Chiefs. I was a Cowboys fan once I was old enough to understand the game, which came when I could tell the difference between offides and a false start. Earl Campbell was my favorite player, though. I became a Chiefs fan in earnest when I saw Marty on TV suggesting people come on out to Arrowhead and I was hearing about some guy named Okoye.

My dad and I went to a game and the Chiefs beat Houston. The defense was ranked number two in the NFL. My dad bought season tickets for the rest of the year, if memory serves. We were on another side of the stadium for that first game. I was there to see Derrick get 7 sacks and almost the 8th, but the Seahawks won on that final play. We moved to the homefield side of the stadium the next season. We were in section 325, rows 15 and 16, seats... 11 maybe. The closest we could get to the field were those seats. I liked the view, though.

Some of my favorite games were the Monday Night victories over Buffalo (I actually brought buffalo burger and grilled it in the parking lot before that game) and San Diego when Vanover won it in OT with the punt return. I was at the playoff game vs. the Raiders that KC won, but was sick and had to watch the one on TV at home where Montana was QB and they beat the Steelers on the 4th down pass to Barnett.

One of my favorite parking lot memories was when I noticed smoke coming from a drain grate and a cop making some guy pour beers down into it, since the man foolishly dumped his hot coals in there. I always brought two gallon jugs of water since I'd dump my coals into a trash bag with some water and pour more on them to put them out. I had a gallon left so I ran over and poured it down the grate. The man was very grateful and offered me a beer, but it was Milwaukee's Beast Light so I declined. Life was too short for cheap beer, I told him.

Damn Ed...words escape me right now...just so sorry to hear this.

Ed I don't know what to say other than I really enjoy your posts and I'm sorry to hear about the battle you're about to fight. Stay strong, keep positive, fight a good fight and beat this thing. Prayers sent buddy.

sucks to hear man, thinking of you and your family even though I don't really know you.

You are a better man than Robin Williams.

Hang in there one day at a time & you will make it. Prayers and good vibes sent.

Keep battling, don't give up. I worked in the medical field for 10 years. Those you have "X" number of years left are an average. Some give up. That brings down that average. Those who fight can get quadruple the time. And with all the nano tech research going on, ya never know. We just may kick Cancers ass some day soon!:thumb:

I'm very sorry to hear the news, Lonewolf. Prayers your way!

Well, I've lived a strange little life compared to most I guess. I never got married and have no kids, but I would have been a good dad. Kids seem to love me. I've had kids I never saw before run up and hug my leg while their mothers looked stunned because the kid is shy around strangers, kids will smile at me and say hello in the store, stuff like that. Living my life alone often brought me down, but I fought to become positive, or at least less negative, and got there when I was 30. I began actively trying to savor whatever joys I had, small or large, and letting that feeling soak in.

I have stood on mountainsides and gazed over lush valleys and rivers. I have breathed deep of clean mountain air and drank water so pure I could feel it doing good things inside of me. I have eaten peaches so good that I was in awe. I have savored beers so finely crafted that I gave thanks for being alive. I have seen sunsets and sunrises with so many levels of color that I couldn't even describe. I've felt the soothing cool air come off the North Sea and gazed across the waves. I have felt joy savoring what was for me the perfect spring day, listening to the sounds of happy birds singing. I have savored the autumn and marvelled at the changing colors of the leaves in the trees. I have enjoyed warming up by a fireplace after a walk on a winter day. I have stood in fields bathed in the light of a full moon on a summer night. I have stood in awe before medieval castles and felt great joy exploring and learning about them. I have stood in a graveyard in the Danish village of Vrensted and read the names of my great-great-grandparents and great-grandparents and felt the connection of my family down in my very bones.

I have seen and done many things in this life that I feel blessed to have been able to do. I was hoping I'd be doing it for many more years, though.

That was awesome man.

You'll be in my thoughts and prayers and you do whatever you have to to try and kick this thing and remember doctors are not always spot on so stay strong.

Goddamit, I ****ing hate cancer. God Bless you, and make the most of your time, however long it may be. Here's to hoping against hope for a cure. Doctors don't know everything brutha.

Prayers sent to you and yours.
