Here are some photos of Lance with his family. I don't have the captions yet, so the photos will stand for themselves right now.

I am very grateful to James for starting a website where we can reminisce and share memories of Lance. He was always such a strong, caring, and courageous person. He always thought of others more than himself. I think back to what he went through and am always amazed at how well he took everything. I know that I asked "Why?" far more than he ever did. When I would ask him how he was doing, he would turn the question around and want to know how I was doing instead. I often wonder what he thought, knowing he would be leaving his children.... that they would grow up without him here. That part makes me the saddest. That they will never know what he was like. That they won't have him here to share all those "firsts".
ReplyDeleteOn a lighter note... (I think I was supposed to share some funny stories)... Lance and I took the kids to Reno one year. He had already started chemotherapy and was quite weak. Well, being the sport that he was... we took the kids bowling. When it was his turn, he picked up the ball and headed down the lane. Instead of releasing the ball, however, he threw both the ball and himself headlong down the lane. The kids and I laugh about that one often. He was quite a sight sprawled down the center of the lane. It sure was one of those memories that you never forget. We all had a great time laughing about it (including Lance).
