Blog 101 - To those of you who are new to blogs and blogging, I wanted to give a brief overview of how to use this site. There are authors and followers. Authors are Val and Connie. Followers are all of our wonderful support system that continue to follow Bru's journey through this battle. Authors create posts, followers can read posts and comment on posts that have been created. As a follower you don't have to log in in with an account or sign in to comment. If there is a post that you are interested in commenting on, just click the comment icon below the post itself. Once you have typed your post, you must choose an account just below the text box, choose anonymous! If you are looking for all of the posts to the blog, scroll down the page and look to the right of the screen, every post is listed there by month and day. It's listed chronologically starting newest to oldest. If you want to add pictures, please email me at emtp1124@yahoo.com with a description of the picture and the caption you would like underneath it. Blogging is very similar to Facebook and other social sites, but it doesn't have the ability to post things to the blog like you do people's walls in facebook. If you are having problems viewing the blog, it may be because of settings that you have on your internet browser . You can type the URL into your smart phone browser as well and see the blog pretty well. If you want updates sent to you anytime things are updated, subscribe to the blog by email. This option is at the top of the page on the right hand side of your screen just above the picture of Bruce. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at emtp1124@yahoo.com.

Smiling Faces.....from the Celebration!!!

All right, finally had time to get the photos developed and now am loading them onto the blog for everyone to see.  You are ALL amazing!!!  Thank you for sharing that special night with our family.  You have all touched our lives, and we hope we have touched yours as well  :)  On another note, Bruce has another MRI scheduled for tomorrow morning.  Don't know how long it will take to get the results from that but will post on the blog what is happening in the brain as far as the spread of cancer and location of such.  Bruce is still doing well, although more lethargic.  He is still mobile but not getting around as much.  Not sure if that is lack of interest by him or the brain misfiring (probably both)!  He is still incredibly upbeat, laughing/smiling every day, and that brings such joy to all of us who are privileged to be in his presence, but it is typical Bruce Rissi style, now isn't it??  Be in touch soon!  Enjoy the love in the pix below!!  NOTE:  The first photo was taken by Karla Lenker as she was entering Above and Beyond.  Notice the single ray of light emanating towards Heaven.  A blessed sign, dontcha think??
