today marks the one year anniversary of gayle’s amputation. every day we have shared has been a blessing. challenges – we’ve had more than a few…but all in all, gayle has made this year the best i can remember.
to recognize the life we share, i’ve made a photo video for gayle. the music is an everly brothers cover by a friend and fellow cancer survivor, dede wyland. her cd ‘keep the light on’ should be in everyone’s collection. enjoy.
devoted to you

gayle developed a small lump in her right front wrist. biopsy determined it was a soft tissue sarcoma, with amputation feb 17, 2010. she's recovering nicely, taking naps when needed, and enjoying every moment of every wonderful day. in december 2010 we discovered oral melanoma cancer. gayle had two surgeries to remove tumors, but the ugly disease took her from us december 12, 2011. love never ends.

Awesome. My how time flies! The music is beautiful, everyone should check out Dede Wyland’s Keep The Light On. Thanks!
Oooh Gayle, congratulations!!! We love love love the pics, they sure do tell the story about your stoic nature, your beauty and your courage. Your eyes really say it all girlfriend. Many hugs, wags and woofs headed east to you.
Love that music too, your friend is incredibly talented.
Congratulations. The photos are beautiful.
Well, we are going to have big hoop-di-la over here to celebrate! 1 -year Ampuversaries are what we look forward to! It’s a red hat day in Monkeybuttville!
But we know that you’ve been through so much Gayle and a quiet celebration is just fine, too! You’ve had to watch over your Charon during her cancer and you always keep a close eye for sweet Jane in her twilight years. So, we’ll keep our celebrations down to a low roar to where only our neighboring states can hear us!!!! But just know, we are celebrating!
We are so proud of you Gayle!

Charon, this is just the most wonderful news. One year is definitely a milestone and one worth celebrating. I know Gayle and you have both had your challenges during this past year but your love and devotion for one another has overcome it all. There’s little that could make me happier today than my East Tennessee Friends celebrating the big one year. Congrats to you both 🙂
The video and song choice were super! It certainly shows the love that you two share.
Spirit Fortis and I hope to see you guys in April 🙂
