Disease

Disease

Description

August 2, 2007 at the Arctic circle, we hiked an hour and a half. Two years after Ross got out of a wheelchair from Lyme Disease, momentous.

October 17, 2007, one and a half blocks maximum, Babesia and Lyme together, the downward spiral.

October 2008, by myself after eleven years, I guess love doesn't conquer all!

Thanks very much Melissa. The picture with the rainbow was taken in the Yukon at Two Moose Lake, the picture of my wife and I was taken at the Arctic Circle rest stop.

Shahn, you know I love your work...
This shot is superb due to the content...it's not easy to capture love, partnership, devotion, commitment and unity but you did!!! Great edit on this too!
You guys hang in there. Finding someone worth committing to is harder than fighting any disease. You two have already fought and won the hardest battle!

Thanks so much Vicki, it's harder some days than others. Our love helps us through each day. Treatments are worse than the disease. There was a recent show we saw, 20 minutes, it can be seen at http://www.steelwheels4x4.com/tv-show/

A picture is worth a thousand words, keep shooting.
Thanks again.
