#PuppyWatch
So what’s the most amazing thing in life. I have just said it, its life itself. Judging people makes an unhappy life in my opinion, people like some church goers think that having a religion gives them a reason to judge. The hardest thing I think is to come to a point of acceptance for who someone is. To love them anyway even though you may not agree with another’s method. Well that brings me to answer the question as to why we have chosen to have puppies and not children.
WE DIDNT.
Someone else chose for us, someone with a pen and paper computer and no logic. Someone that said we should have chosen to have children sooner. That we should have considered my wife’s age and mine and not left it so long. You see, when I first got cancer I was told my sperm would stop working, that maybe I should go and store some should I wish and indeed we wish to have children in the future. I was 41 when I donated and hoped one day that we would have children of our own. So I beat cancer and by the time I had regained some kind of strength I found it had come back and would need a transplant of my stem cells to preserve my life. The worst months of my life. All written about here in this blog.
Sorry
My life has been consumed with hope that one day I would look face to face at my son or daughter. It was not to be and whilst my wife is fit, and has enough eggs we are being refused IVF unless we pay for it. Of course it’s at appeal and even though I have messaged the BBC and many other people no one seems interested that a system that has made me infertile cannot help us. In true Fonz style though. I have started a new journey, the one of new life through the puppies our Miriacle Faith has created. It’s a blessing in a different way. But still life. More people are being touched by the blessing of life because we fought the Evil of cancer. I don’t know about you, but it fills me with a sense of pride. Happiness that others will benifit because someone ticked the NO box. But I do still hope that someone somewhere hears my story who can help us. I will just keep writing and blessing people.
It’s nearly time for our 6pm #PuppyWatch where people will tune in to see their puppies. What a privalage that is, to know such gifts of life because of something that tried to take my life.
You can be anything you choose to be, but surely doing something is better than doing nothing.
Have a great day
Fonz

Oh Mark I had no idea about your story. Feel so ignorant. You and your wife were already in high estimation in my eyes but reading this has really put a lump in my throat. Over the decades, before all the technoligy and breakthroughs of today, that bitch cancer has taken generations of my family way too young leaving all us cousins to stick together. My elder and only sister Donna in Nottingham is in the medical books for being the only person to survive beyond 4 years with her type of aggressive secondary cancer (a trial drug made in France that unfortunately didn’t give enough ‘evience’ to market it, saved her life) 6 years and counting :-). Why should having a child be down to finances?! It so angers me. What angers me also is the pricetag they put on IVF. In other countries, just as advanced as us it is a fraction of the cost but I think there are some rules about being a citizen there which I get as our equivalent of tax and national insurance covers. So much money is wasted and given away in subsideries, supporting farmers and car companies etc etc. I would rather my money went to causes like IVF for people who have had that natural chooice ripped away from them!! I can honestly say Mark, hand on my heart which is a true heart, that I would give you both the money myself if I had it. I know you couldn’t love Faith any more than you both do and the love and care for those puppies has been beyond anything I could have witnessed . . . but a child . . .if I could give you both that I bloody well would.
