TOO did what TOO does today! The turn out was amazing...the place was packed from 4-10. We did manage to get a photo of the TOO crew that showed up.
I know I wasn’t the only one that got a little emotional tonight. The shit was for real. That you guys for supporting us.

I can’t thank you guys enough...I just made it home and got somewhat unpacked. Since this entire ordeal started, you guys have had my back. That hasn’t stopped or even slowed down one bit. We raised a ton of money and it all went into an account that multiple of us are on to help pay bills off and cover daily expenses. Add the go fund account and things are looking outfuckingstanding. The turnout was top of the line. I’m pretty sure we drank the town out of beer and blocked roads for parking. Lots of people standing and every chair had an ass in it. It really was moving to take it all in.
I’m sure lots of people felt like shit today though
Myself included. I have no idea how many beers I drank, but it was enough. I all but fell out of the truck. We also ended up with every auction item we wanted, go figure. Win/win

It was a sight to see! Full house of people coming together for a great cause. Someone must have been cutting onions a few times, had me all misty eyed...
This guy...this guy right here let me, my family and a couple of friends invade his home for the weekend. If that wasn’t enough, he was the one tending beers with me. While my siblings got to go out and be part of everything. It was his wife working along next to my wife selling tickets across the room from us handing out beers. A guy that I never would’ve ever met if it wasn’t for TOO.
Let that be a very special thanks and for those of you lurkers, you are missing out on how special this place can be. Just for this thread, I could probably make 50 more post calling people out for special thanks. Good karma coming to all of you. TOO good!
BTW, don’t take that as a complaint. I was right where I wanted to be. I was saying that they free’d up my family to be able to be out mingling.

Your father obviously has a mentality lost on many people. Truly inspiring video giles, best wishes from the weffler home!

Glad you had a great turnout Dave. Man that cake was awesome looking!! 
Wow Dave, great video that was very inspirational! If that doesn’t get to the core of the long journey and difficulties your dad and your family have endured during this battle I don’t know what would! Congratulations on such an awesome turnout and thanks for sharing. Thoughts and prayers continue your families way and to your dad who has fought as hard as anyone could!
You guys have really outdone yourselves here and every little bit has really made a difference. After the benefit bash my siblings and both parents had a talk with me about how lucky I was to have such a support group. My support group consist 90% of TOO members. I’m not sure I’ll ever be able to repay you guys, but k ow that I am forever thankful to have you guys to call friends. Some are more like family. In the end, it takes every one of us to make this place work.
Joe and Jesse, thanks for the campfire. I know I’ll continue to bring firewood and hope this circle around the fire continues to grow. Thanks everyone. Beyond the mental, some times physical support I’ve gotten, you dysfunctional degenerates have raised over $3,000 for my dad. I tip my hat, thank you.
By the grace of god...I’m here to thank you.

It’s been a while...we have had some ups and downs, slow times and fast times. Most of all, we still have him. There’s been a few more seizures that have left him for a few nights in the hospital. Finished another round of Chemo two weeks ago that left him pretty weak. They combated this with steroids ago to help him regain strength. Today he starts another round of Chemo at a little less dose.
The good news in all this is that he doesn’t have any new growth! It seems all this has been working. He will never be close to the same again and we all know that. Social security and everything has been worked out. Planning on doing an Easter dinner via electronics this year. Lots of things to be thankful and happy about. We got this!
His unhappy thoughts about restarting Chemo today...well, a pic says more

Dave... Sounds good that there's no new growth and treatments are working...God bless him and praying that he stays on the road to improvement. Actually I think he looks pretty good for all he's gone through...
