An update on my brother
It took six months, but the diagnosis for my brother Mark is in (see a few posts prior to this one). Stage three multiple myeloma. One of my boys has a shirt that reads “Cancer Sucks”, which pretty much sums it up for any who experience it.
Those of you who know him will not be surprised to learn that he just received over 300 cards for his 49th birthday. One of the memories noted was from someone married to a woman Mark proposed to. Another from a woman who says he is the only other man beside her husband whom she can kiss (without objections). He is consistent.
The other update is in regards to the socks- they were not rejected.

Hi, Lorilee –
Please give your brother a hug for me, and I am very sorry to hear about his illness. I will keep you both in my heart. The instruction about who to propose to, that you mentioned in your first post, is great — my son Allan, who looked just like your brother, had the same enthusiasm for what he called “pretty ladies,” but I never could figure out a good rule of thumb to guide him.
Best wishes to both of you –
Dorrie
