Happy 21st Birthday to Walker

Hey Guys.....this Tuesday 28th is Walkers 21st birthday so please help us celebrate by sending fun birthday wishes to him by text message 4079903112. 

And we want to thank David Adams of Adams Jewelry on Corrine Dr in Orlando for recreating Walkers 2017 Summit Championship ring in silver from scratch giving it to him as a gift!! He did a great thing, thank you David.

Like you, it’s Groundhog Day around here pretty much same same day in and day out. We are doing fine overall keeping very close to home, wearing mask wherever we go, wiping everything down, using hand sanitizer. You know the drill. Strange days and these.

The most exciting thing in our world has been the addition of Finn, Walkers new 10 month Corgi, who has been with us for 2 weeks now. He quickly fit with our other dogs, Willow, 3 1/2, and little Suki, 10, our Papillion. Finn and Willow are fast friends already wrestling morning, noon, and night in the back yard. Now Mimi the Cat, not so much. The fur flies when she slinks through the house in search of food. We love our new addition, he is sweet, very cute, and loving just like his owner :-).

Walker has applied to get onto the kidney transplant list but that will be a while it seems due to the pandemic issues, but hopefully when that settles down he will get on it. Things are very much the same as they have been health wise for Walker, oxygen 24/7 and dialysis 3 days a week. Yes stronger but still very oxygen dependent and many medications to keep the status quo. He is doing good.

We, like you, can’t wait for this pandemic to be over. Keep on doing our duty by staying close to home and family and things will turn around before we know it. God willing. So please help us to celebrate Walker and show him some love. 

Stay safe, pray often, love on your family, and whatever you do don’t go down the wrong isle at Publix :-)

Much love The McKnights
