November 30, 1995. My wife had a complicated pregnancy and was in the hospital for a baby check up. The baby had not grown since the prior week and was in distress. Seven weeks early but it was his time to come and was born shortly after I got to the hospital. He was born with developmental delays, stayed in the infant ICU for several weeks and finally came home just after Christmas.

Fast forward to yesterday - I just co-signed for his own townhouse.

I have truly been blessed in life and am thankful every day.


Thanks for your amazing generosity. We all appreciate it greatly.

Amazing karma. Been sick for a while , but i'm trying to come back. My most amazing day was at age 18 when I accepted the Lord Jesus as my
Savior.

33 years ago I met the love of my life. She put up with my multiple deployments and raised our kids and kept our home going.

Our daughter’s birth. November 16, 1986. We have a son too, but for several reasons our firstborn was special. I was just a cowboy/ranch hand. We had no insurance and our daughter was delivered by a small town GP. When we called the hospital, sometime around 11:00 pm, the receptionist asked if we thought we could wait until after midnight, it would save us a day’s hospital charge. We could.

Natural delivery with an Arizona doctor we knew pretty’s well. Everything went great. My wife was able to take our daughter immediately, and she still says it was probably the best day of her life. Total charge for doctor and hospital was about $1000.

Things had changed by the time our son was born. Our local GP had to give up delivering babies because of malpractice insurance cost.

The day my first born/daughter was born at Fort Campbell, Thanksgiving Day, 1978.

March 23, 2024. The five year mark of my wife’s successful bone marrow transplant.

My special day, came after a summer of time spent with my son pulling and rebuilding an engine on a Supra his dream car at the time.
The story starts with him turning 16. He was working at a restaurant. We told him we would contribute 2,500 for a car, He said if he contributed the rest could he pick out the car. We agreed, he found a Supra in Phoenix. We talked to the owner agreed on a price and I told my son I would fly out and drive it back.

On the drive back to MO the car began to blow oil to the point of a qt of oil every 100 miles. Got it home, I looked at my son, and asked him you want to spend your summer wrenching? He said let’s do it.
We spent the summer pulling, re-building the engine and turbo, and putting it back in.

The memorable day was when we got it all back together, it was at 9:30 pm called his mother out to the garage and he turns the key and all we get is the engine cranking…..no ignition…we sit for a few seconds and he gets a light bulb moment.. and says the ignition fuse Dad we need the fuse for the ignition….fuse put in. Car starts, runs and blows no oil. That night was the best the look on his face, that summer was some quality time spent with my son that both of us will never forget.

Here are a couple of pictures:

Q, please don’t count me in as I’ve got rid of almost all my classic P-series. Just wanted to say this is an awesome Karma.

My special day isn’t here yet. I’ve been married, had kids born, love em all. But my special day will be in 9.25 years when I retire.

A very special day for me was 9/25/2021 when my mom and I flew to Maui and spent a wonderful week seeing the island. There is a long story of why that trip was so special so it is a time I will cherish the rest of my life. Thanks for the chance.

Married my wife March 20 96. I'm so far out of my league it's ridiculous!

Oct 19, 1996. I married my third wife. We will celebrate our 29th anny this year. If I win, this will be her gun.

My kiddo was born almost 15 years ago. He came 8 weeks early, and had a long NICU stay. Now he's big and strong and funny, and I'm very proud of him.

Thanks for the Karma Doc!

Basically any day I get to spent with my grandson.
If I knew grandkids were this much fun I would have had them first.
Thank you.

One of my most favorite days occurred on March 8 of last year. My wife and I gave our oldest grandchild a kids archery set; which she very much enjoyed. The second grandchild at four years old thought that he’d give it a try.

Number two was born with only a palm for a left hand, but always seems to figure how to do a thing by having the grit to keep on trying even though he was four years old at the time.

He kept trying and trying. His mom, dad and grandpa just watched. With tears in his eyes because of failure after failure he finally figured it out. After the first successful shot his smile and laughter at succeeding is a memory that i’ll hold close for the remainder of my days.

As an aside, We took the grandkids out fishing on number two’s 5th birthday last year. He asked me to tie on a hook and I said just wait a bit. Pretty soon I hear, never mind I did it, and he had!

February 22, the wife and I have been married 39 years. Great idea.

Mine occurred many years ago when I was working with my father as a kid. I asked him why he went out of his way to do something when the customer would have never known otherwise. His reply, although simple, stuck with me the rest of my life.
It is my signature.

Great Karma.
I have two dates.
The birth of our first son (06_02_1998)
And the birth ou our twin sons (02_19_2001)

Thank you!
