It was awesome, in the weeks leading up to Christmas, talking with her and watching the whole progression, and then seeing the Christmas video, and the good news after.

I pray he is in good health, still!

That was me with the awesome wife that got me the corvette for Christmas! Happy to report everything turned out ok and my health is still good. It was a scary time for all of us to say the least! The car is incredible, and the entire family loves it as much as I do. The forum was a huge help in her pulling this off and I appreciate that. Thanks for checking in!

Watching the video is still great.

But, hearing about your health is even better.

Best wishes for many more miles for you, your family, and your Corvette.

As a cancer survivor, I can attest to the "scary" part. Glad you're OK and are enjoying your Vette. God bless!
