Hey everybody. So it's been along time between post. I've been real busy and just haven't been able to get online. I had a relapse and kinda went thru alot of stuff. My treatments after the relapse didn't go the way everybody was hopeing and now I waiting for a BMT. The only problem with that is that my sister is pregs again and my brother has something wrong with his liver. And so far there has been no donor matches. Oh well.
I stopped the treatments for now since they are doing nothing for me except make me sick. We went to my uncle and aunts house in Idaho for a couple of weeks. My sister, brother, nephew, brother-in-law, aunt, uncle, and cousins were here for the last part over Thanksgiving. I got to ski alittle. It wasn't a huge mountain run or anything, but it was awesome. I couldn't do it but a couple of times cause it made me tired quick. But man I like snow. We went to this hot spring and I got into the pool for awhile. It was weird with snow on the ground and I was siting in a pool. But it was great. It was just a great time.
I got an early Christmas present, something that was completely mind blowing. I didn't have a clue and wouldn't have ever dreamed of it. My dad, mom, Jake and me went to London and then got on a train to Manchester. My Doc has a friend that lives in Manchester and he met us when we got there and to kinda check on me while I was there. When we got there, I thought we were going to a hospital to get another doc to see if they had different treatments. We went to the doc (who is American and working for a year in Mancherster) and got checked out and then went to our hotel room. The next morning, the doc came to our rooms to pick us up in this super cool Mercedes sedan. Wow. We went to this like interstate and he let me drive. Man I want 1 or 2 those. Driving that thing has got to be better than sex. I think I had a boner the whole time I was driving and I wasn't embarrassed at all. I drove for about 30 miles to this closed road course. It's like a testing ground and is like a big race track. He let me drive real fast. I got it over 193 kph (120 mph). It felt like 1000 mph. After that, we went to his house for lunch. We all got to rest and just sat around the talk. He has a super nice place. Completey British. It had a library, garden, a game room, sitting room, etc. I got to take a nap and then shower. When I went into this bedroom to dress, there was some packages on this bench thing at the end of the bed for me. The note on then said that these were the clothes I should wear for the rest of the day. So I opened them and they were super nice clothes like things you would never wear in Mississippi. Dress slacks, dress shirt, tie, dress socks and shoes. I put them on and then a pullover Manchester United sweater that was like probably the most British thing except for a dress coat that I could ever thought of. Then there was a Manchester United scarf and an over coat that had this thin lining in it that made it real warm. I was like WOW. I think I even had a British accent by then. So I dressed and went down to where everybody was. My dad and Jake were dressed similar. Mom was dressed up in new stuff and looked great. Doc asked me if I was ready to go sightseeing and I said ofcourse. He asked where I wanted to go and I said that I want to go to see Barnsley (because that is were one side of my Mom's family came from), Old Trafford (ofcourse), and the Mersey. So we took off for a day of adventure. I got to see alot of stuff over the next couple of days but that day we went to Old Trafford (The Theater Of Dreams). When we got there, there were a huge amount of people everywhere. The doc parked the car and we got out. Then he pulled an envolope out of his pocket and which had tickets to that days Carling cup match with Blackburn. I could have died right then and been the happiest person on the planet. Tevez scored 4 and Nani had 1 in a win. Man what a day, what an amazing place and what a great family. After the match, on the way back to the hotel, I lost it big time. I really don't think they knew what everything they have done for me has meant to me and especially this. I rested the next day, didn't even leave the room. Then the next day we went to Barnsley, and a few other places. We left the next day for Ireland. We went to Belfast (didnt like it), Limrick (loved it), Galway (want to live there for ever), and Cork (Awesome place). And wow, WOW. I could have died in Ireland and everything would have been prefect. And I could have stayed a hundred years and still not see everything I would have wanted to see. The most beautiful place on earth. Ireland is heaven. The people are the best. But it had to end. I hated to leave but it was time. I was getting tired so easy and the food didnt sit good with me at all. Even though, fish and chips are very good. But those meat pies and things are not for me though. So I came back home. So that is what I have been up to.
Well got to go.

My name is Jake and I'm a cousin of Kierans. This is not as easy as I thought it would it would be but he passed away in January. He wrote a letter and gave it to his mom to give to me. She didn't give it to me until Monday and it's taken me this long to do it. I couldnt find his yahoo page but this one is still here. He wanted this posted on his Yahoo profile and on here. So I guess this will have to do. There were a few messages he wanted to pass along to some of his friends but I don't know how to get into touch with them. So I'm gonna list them here and hope that you will leave a comment on here with a way I can pass along his messages.

Hi Jake, my email address is:

Thanks,
Brian
Kieran was person who fascinated me immensely and who I felt I connected with possibly better than anyone I've ever known. I've missed him for a while and still do. He was one of a kind.
I'm sorry to hear about Kieran. I wish I had gotten to know him personally, especially since I think we lived pretty close.

Thanks for getting this link to me Jake. I had lost contact with Kier when Yahoo went down, and never had a chance to see this. I had no idea this was so sudden, I don't know why he never came on multiply, I would have liked to stayed in contact with him there. I don't know if you got hold of Larry, but I had his YM and sent him a message. The others I really can't help find.
This is Mark (actually C) my e mail is

Although I knew of his illness and also knew it was terminal, the news still saddens me greatly. We are made up of pieces of friends that surround us & I just lost a piece. Today is not a good day.

For others who want to connect, I am on Facebook under "Stuart Reeves". Unfortunately thrown off Multiply for being too risque. ;))
Hi Jake - I think you should post all of his stuff...competed or not. They were his words and thoughts intended to be heard - it's probably how most of us initially started chatting with him.
I'm sad that there is silence on these pages - his words give the page some life. I would for one wouldn't mind the bits and pieces - don't silence his voice please.
