A Prayer Request For GM Roper

I first became acquainted with GM Roper when he ordered a new design for his blog last year. Since then, he has asked for help a couple of times, usually when DIV tags were not doing what he wanted them to do.

His post today knocked me on my ass.

This is not a post I ever wanted to write. In fact, I don’t think it is a post that anyone, ever, anywhere, would want to write. But I have a number of faithful readers and a number of irregular, but delightful readers and I think I owe them something. Thursday, January 26th, I was diagnosed with lung cancer. Talk about a kick in the teeth.

The diagnosis is obviously freightening, but at the same time, it has given me a new resolve. And that resolve is to fight this son-of-bitch right down to the wire and I have every intention of winning.

So, my catch phrase for the future is FIGHT ON!

He didn’t ask for help this time, but he’s gunna get it. I would give my eyeteeth for GM (okay, so no one really wants eyeteeth, but you know what I mean). He’s one of the best and he is not done yet, that’s for sure.

Take a moment every day and say a prayer for GM.

I hope everyone steals it and I hope everyone steals it and uses it.

Michael, your ribbon is being Michael, your ribbon is being stolen and passed around. Good, and thanks brother, you can have my eye-teeth anytime you need an extra pair since you are so willing to give yours up.

Love ya!
