HAPPY THANKSGIVING CANADA!!
Pirate Joel 🏴‍☠️ here (im resting my eye) to wish you health, wealth, and prosperity as we take this day to be extra thankful for what we have. Food wise, I didn’t have my mother’s amazing turkey gravy as I’m alone this year, BUT it was amazing. I cooked myself a 27lb turkey (it’ll last me the week don’t worry). I cooked pumpkin, and tomato soup, and even had pineapple. I loved it and im so thankful to be able to atleast partly taste it!! Seriously, getting sick recently has made me realize all we take for granted. Everything from taste, site, hearing, ability to walk, and talk, and sleep… My life will never be the same and I’m so thankful for everything that I have in my life, including all of you! Thank you for your continued support near and far & please be extra thankful For all you have! 😁 🙏

I NEVER share anything emotional, but today i have to. Thank you so much for the prayers, positivity and support everyone!! Seriously, it’s been truly touching. I’m Starting to get some sensation back in my face; which, if im being totally honest made me cry.. I’ll admit it. Movement isn’t back to normal, but having less of a “droop”, having some restoration of taste, and even some improvment in breathing - it just makes you realize how much we take for granted every day…
God is good, and my appreciation for LIFE and the “small things” will NEVER be the same.

Please enjoy the only emotional post you’ll ever get from Me 😂!!

Thank you all again,
Joel
