Mahalo nui loa Bruddah CB💙Went to Home Depot, was gonna use pavers - they were heavy and too small. Came across the 12 x 24 tile, and I knew that would be perfect 😊

Cheers to the wish you were here, but you're not

'Cause the drinks bring back all the memories

Of everything we've been through

Toast to the ones here today

Guys I wrote to on that list. I'm crying too. Thanks for your efforts. I owe you another scoop.

dockam profile image
dockam in reply to GoBucks

So sad that so many have been taken :-(

I sent the pic of the tile to an HU caregiver/wife and she said "Too many names"

Part of my thing now is PCa screening advocacy, so that there may be fewer men on the list in the future.

Use this month to tell men your PCa Saga and have them get screened 💙

You're so very welcome and it all started with my 1st back bib at the 2015 Surf City marathon :

"Advanced Prostate Cancer. Chemo starts next week

Guys get checked"

It then became a In Memoriam back bib with names, and now it's segued onto a 12 x 24 Tile

Life is Beautiful

So Blessed to be here almost 9 years on with the Cancerversary date of 10/13/23

I've stated this before, I'm glad that I didn't follow up the 4.7 PSA in 2010 as I would never have met so many Wonderful people on HU, FB PCa groups, and ZERO Staff💙
