1984

This weekend was a great one... I got to spend it with family and a flash back to 1984 by going to a Bon Jovi Concert.

Saturday was a nice we just spent the day relaxing and veging out (it’s nice to have a day like that).

Then on Sunday we went to the Fifth Annual Greg Wohrle Feel The Love Fest. It was a great time nearly the entire family came out. Greg also had a brain tumor but surcame to it several years ago, but his family keeps his memory alive by having this event to raise money for brain tumors.

As I have said in the past this is something I want to get involved with, not only on a once a year bases but run, organize and be a major part of. With all the local celebrities in our local area we should be able to get some of them out to these events to bring in more people and in return more money for research. With the connections I have and your help if you know anyone who can help bring them in let me know.

Back to me… I am feeling great… Bon Jovi was awesome last night but they need to play some more old school music over their newer stuff. We had great seats; I don’t think I had ever seen Kim so happy since I got sick… It was a great time for the two of u

Michael's Poetry

So here it is nine months since this whole nightmare started… and as bad as I thought it would be, its going good, the tumor is gone for now… and let’s hope and pray that it never comes back. As bad as I thought this was going to be its not that bad… it sure as hell aint good but it isn’t bad either. I have come so far in the past nine months, I have learned a life time of lessons… and can only imagine what else there is for me to learn. Its amazing how you can be living your life happy and then wake up one day only to find out you have cancer.

Friends and family do me a favor take a good look at your life and enjoy what you have… you never know when it could all be gone. I’m not talking about materialistic things. It doesn’t matter who has the biggest house, the fanciest and fastest car or the biggest diamond on their finger. Enjoy your family... tell them every day that you love them… even if you are arguing stop for a second and say I love you. When you’re disciplining your kids and they are yelling back at you stop for a second and say I love you. You never know when it’s the last time you are going to see them… you never want the last memory someone has of you to be you yelling at them… you want it to be you saying I love you.

That’s it for my advice today but I do want to share a few things with you… lately I have been writing poetry. Yes I Michael Levine is writing poetry. You are probably thinking what does he know about poetry? Well the answer is nothing… I’m just putting my feelings down on paper and I’m calling it poetry. Take a look and let me know what you think.

This first one is for Cole.

Life Just Gets Better

This Last week, week and a half has been absolutely amazing. I’ll start off with the walk. Team Levine came in second place for families in raising money, as of today we have raised $5,388.00… and if you can believe it the money is still coming in… and considering my goal was just $1,000.00 WOW!!! I have to thank all of you who donated, Came out, brought friends or just prayed for me and thought of me and my family. I even had a good friend from middle school who I hadn’t seen in 8-9 years come out… seeing him was awesome… it was like those last 9 years ofnot talking never happened.

This last eight months has been hard and each month will continue to be hard but its events like this that I know I got cancer for a reason… what that reason is I don’t know yet but what I do know is it is to help people.

I had never felt more love from people than I did that day. People keep telling me I am inspiring to them. It is you that gives me that power to be inspiring. Team Levine had the most people turn out for the walk than any other team… that shows me how much I am loved and that gives me more reason to fight this disease.

After the walk Cole, Kim and I took a much needed vacation to Disney World where we had tons of fun. Cole went on Space Mountain for the first time and he loved it… he just thought that it did not go fast enough. What better way to celebrate than going to see Mickey with the family? I couldn’t be happier than I am now.
