8 months ago when we found out that we had been invited to the Premiere Show and that i
t was in Orlando, we started saving our change so that we could purchase tickets to the Magic Kingdom for a day while we were there. Yesterday was that day. What a reward after saving for all that time and arriving at the most magical place on earth. We had a great day and short waits on many of the attractions. One of Mike's favorite is a moving theatre called The Carousel of Progress. As most of you know Mike is a liver patient for 15 years and has his challenges with his health and has come very close to loosing his life a few times. If you ask Mike if he is having a good day he will say to you "everyday is a good day!"

One of Mike's favorite is a moving theatre called The Carousel of Progress. As most of you know Mike is a liver patient for 15 years and has his challenges with his health and has come very close to loosing his life a few times. If you ask Mike if he is having a good day he will say to you "everyday is a good day!" While on this attraction, there was a young boy that arrived after us. I would venture to say that he was 9 or 10 in an electric wheelchair and had a machine that was helping him breathe. The young man was with his parents and a person that I assumed was his caregiver. The little boy was not in good shape. Mike leaned over to me and said "See I am the luckiest guy walking!"
Mike wears a red "Live with Passion" bracelet on his left hand and a watch and a yellow "Livestrong" bracelet on his right hand. After the show Mike removed his
"Livestrong" bracelet and walked over and talked to this young boys father then I watched as the young boy make his hand into a fist and Mike placed his "Livestrong" bracelet on his wrist. Mike explained to this young boy that he is a 15 year liver patient and that he needs to keep fighting! The young man smiled and nodded.
I always say that my husband is the most amazing man and he proves it everyday. He is a man of integrity and passion and I love him more today than yesterday!
Mike IS great! Kim you're amazing too! And even though you guys were taking a much deserved day for yourselves you still found it important to help someone who was struggling!! Stephanie and I are so fortunate to have met you and to be near your lives!
