Fight of my Life

I suppose you have been wondering what I have been up to since my last blog? My last mission had an unscheduled stop in Port Charles, where I had the fight of my life, with colon cancer. I'm a lucky man to have such an incredible daughter. I wanted to ignore what was wrong and go down in a blaze of glory. Robin made me realize I had to face this and fight. I'm grateful to have her and Anna, who helped me through the rough times. Who ever thought that something like colon cancer would nearly take me out? The fight isn't over yet, but I'm ready to accept this now and do whatever I have to do to beat it. I have a grandchild on the way. My only regret is that it looks like I am going to miss my daughter's wedding. I'm so grateful we did reconnect. I would do it all again just to have my daughter back.

I'm on a flight home now. At least, I hope I have a home to go to. I managed to call Holly from the hospital a few times, but I wasn't exactly truthful with her about where I was or what was happening. She is going to be furious with me. I sent a dozen roses ahead to soften her up. I just hope she understands everything. I think the part that is really going to put me in the doghouse is Anna was there. She knows I love Anna, but nothing can ever compare or replace the love Holly and I share. I'm so glad Holly isn't the violent type. Wish me luck, I'm going to need it.
