Gone Home To Be With Her Mom

Genie passed away Monday morning at 6:10. She was with her son and myself. Her battle with breast cancer is over.

For the past couple of years plus, she had filled this space with her challenges and successes. At time, they were happy and sometimes sad and angry. But that was the life she led. She was amazed by how many people followed her blog on a daily basis. Like she mentioned in her very first blog, this started because she wanted to do this for Johnny and Jordan. Little did she know what she had started. She used to get emails when she didn't blog in a while. People would ask if she were okay. Most of the time she was just too busy to take the time to write. As of now, there are 41 "followers" of her blog, but I know that number is so much higher. She was an inspiration to so many. I have heard from two teenagers about the impact she made on their lives. She talked to them like adults and about the real life concerns, even at such young ages, that breast cancer is.

She never stopped caring till the very end. I am convinced that she did not pass on Sunday for one reason. She knew it was her time, but Sunday was Jordan's 15th birthday. She knew that that was not the right way for Jordan to remember her passing. She never stopped giving, she never stopped caring. That was Genie!!!

I know there are many people that want to reach out and support us. I say thanks to all of you. We will be having a service/memorial for her and I will probably post one more time with that information. As for support, I know one of her sister-in-laws Sheryl, is setting up an account for the kids. If you would like that information, send an email to me @ sacgiantsfan1@comcast.net and I will get information for you.

Thanks to all of you for your support of my wife and soul mate!!! Genie, until we meet again, I love you with all of my heart!!!

Peace be with you all~John

Hey I'm back, For Now......

I haven't blogged in forever because I just haven't had the energy to do so, sorry everyone. I don't know if it's the chemo that I'm on, or the cancer is just starting to wear on me, but my body is definitely tired. I've been fighting this struggle for 2 1/3 years now and it's starting to really wear on me. I have a constant cough because of the nodules in my lungs, which makes life really difficult to breath. When I'm not coughing, I'm trying to catch my breath, and if you can imagine how fun that is...well, it's not. Each day I wake up and I'm surprised to still be here. I'm not trying to say that I'm giving up, but I am getting pretty tired of this fight, it's hard, very hard now. I decided to tell Dr. Rohatgi that I didn't want the bone & ct scans that he had ordered for this week, that it was just too much for me. I told him that maybe next month after my chemo we could do it. Maybe. I don't know what to do at this point but pray, hopefully God will tell me whether or not it's almost my time. Either way, I will be with those who love me. I just want to feel comfortable again and able to breath without struggling. Please pray for me to find peace.

Peace to you all ~ Love, Genie
