    Some of you may remember me mentioning a neighbor down the road with a green thumb--great garden, starts hundreds of plants and then gives them away, and, all in all, is about the nicest man you ever met. Well, about 10 days ago his doctor told him he might have a brain tumor.
    Everyone who knows him was devastated. We've all been carrying this around for over a week, but yesterday he was told that he didn't have a brain tumor, he is fine!
    We are all so thankful. I just had to share our happiness here on the Stew!

    I'm so glad that your friend and neighbour has received this good news.
    I can't imagine what it must have been like for him to have such dreadful news and have to spend a week worrying about it what his prognosis was. Pure joy must have run through his system when he found out that he is not suffering from a tumour on the brian after all. I'm sure everyone that knows him will be sharing his joy and relief.

    Wow, I can see news like that putting everyone in a tailspin. Then to find out that he does not have a tumor. It must have been a rolle-rcoaster week. Glad to hear he is O.K.
