Who is this strange man in the garden ?? This is the story behind the silk skirt on the man in the garden.
Since I have only known him for a couple of years, when this occurred he and his story was unknown to me.
Now he is my beloved husband and this photo has come to my attention.
The story is this....
For nine years Dennis has experienced many treatments for
'Indolent Follicular Non Hodgkins Lymphoma'
Indolent is slow growing...and he has had a total of 15 tumors, 7 of which he has at this time. The thing I understand about this type of cancer is that the tumors grow outward, and thus are easily treated most of the time. He has had both chemo and radiation. The down side of this is the concern that it is possible that they can change or morph or 'go inside to an organ', but for now that has not happened and we are trusting in the Lord to keep that from happening.
When this picture was taken he had been successfully treated with radiation for tumors in both groin areas. He's a tough guy with a wonderful outlook and value for celebrating life.
Anyway I am told that after the radiation treatments, he had nasty burns on his upper thigh areas . Did this stop this 'Mad Gardener of Pitt Meadows ?'
Not at all !!
Someone came up with this really good idea and out he went to do his thing in his garden with nothing more than his golf cap , shoes and his lovely silk skirt.
He's still smiling and is such a good sport to give me these photo's to show my friends. What a man ! I am blessed !
