That was a great time. Dennis felt so strong and proud when he took that victory lap around the track with the girls and me. We were so proud of him too and all our family and friends that were there that day were also.When I look at the picture of him looking down on the track it makes me sad. He looks like he is wondering if the cancer was going to return. The worrying he must of felt must have been unbearable. We all know that it did return 3 months later. At least Dennis got to feel some victory for a little while. Then the picture of Dennis with family and friends dancing brings a smile to my face. They didn't practice a routine for the talent part called midnight madness. So of course if all else fails. Dennis must have said why not just dance. Well, how ironic because they won the best dance of the talent show! I'm starting to realize more and more how much Dennis really did like to dance. I Love You, Jodi oxox
This is one event that I didn't make it to. I remember Rex was very little so that deterred me from going.
I know you shouldn't live with regrets, but this is one of mine. I am so sorry I wasn't there to support my brother. It was never because I didn't care.
I know Dennis would never fault me for it, but I want to tell him that I'm sorry. It was an important event and there is no excuse that is good enough. It looks like you guys had a great time.
I love you Den. I miss you and I know that you forgive me.

Those white bags pictured above are called luminary bags and were dedicated to Dennis by his friends and family.
Katie,
I missed this too. Whenever I see pictures of this day I feel regret. I can't even remember why I didn't make it. It looks like a great day and I will forever wish I had gone.
I remember really thinking he beat it and when it came back it floored me. I think I knew it was always a possibility but, that if anyone could beat it it would be Dennis. It is funny, I kind of forgot about the Cancer because I have been so focused on his death. Maybe in the spring we will be up for some fundraisers for a cure. Jimmy spoke about that at the funeral. Maybe that will bring us some peace.

Mary and Katie you should never feel any regret or guilt. Dennis knew how much you loved him. He was so proud. He said to me he didn't want to be the guy with cancer or that was sick that everyone worried about. I think he hid how bad he really felt sometimes even to me and everyone else. Being his caregiver for so long. I feel so much guilt that why couldn't I have made him better. You think when you take care of someone your going to make them better and when you don't it's so defeating. I feel guilt for that and I know I shouldn't but I have to realize it was out of my hands. Bottomline ,Dennis wouldn't want any of us to feel bad for anything. Dennis loved unconditionly. I'm going to try to do the same. I love you guys and Dennis so much , Jodi oxox
