Conversation in the car last week while Von and I drove to the hardware store to buy sandpaper and guy things:
Me: Terry at Make-a-Wish called and said they are working on your hot-tub. How does it feel to soon be the owner of a hot tub?
Von: Good.
(long pause)
Von: Dad, if I take my medicine and they wash the cancer away and it is all gone, do I still get to keep the hot tub?
Me: Yes, yes, yes!!!
It makes me happy to tears to think that Von is through the roughest part of his treatments and that the generous people at Make-a-Wish granted him a hot tub. It's perfect! Our whole family will get to enjoy this with Von over and over.
It is his hot tub and he is making up the rules. When asked what the first rule of the hot tub is, he says, "You have to wear a swimsuit."
That's a great start.
Thanks Make-a-Wish!

that is one sharp boy you have Jason!
tell him there needs to be rules about breaking bubbles....under the water...the ozone needs to be spared.
Yay for the hot tub! Sounds like the perfect wish for Von and your family!! I hope he still wants to keep the swimsuit rule in place once he hits those tumultuous teenage years! :)
Dear Roverhous family, I have just enjoyed your blog, compliments of my friend Mary, and am so impressed by your entire family and their ability to maintain perspective, humor, and faith in the face of adversity. Congratulations on the well-deserved hot tub acquisition. I'm waiting to see the photo of you all in it!
Ha Ha! How cute is he? I think he's managed to point out a very important rule!! Tim's is pretty critical, too!
That's funny pan, My Best Hot Tub has an ozonator. Hopefully theirs has one too.
That's a very inspiring post. Hope he will get better each day. I really love soaking in a hot tub especially when the weather is cold. I remember when I and my friends spent one night soaking in my hot tub and just having fun. We talked about everything and getting to know each other more. I'd like to do it again with them. My hot tub is durable and I had it 3 years ago. It's still working perfectly. If you're interested where did I buy it, just visit this link hot tub
