Sorry to hear the news Emiel but hopefully they have a good solution for you,
if I was there I'd take you fishing for some fresh air and sunshine and enjoy life to keep positive,
which I know you can keep doing if you put yourself out there for it, big hugs to you buddy

today at 05.30pm (in about 2 hours from now) our former S04 player Raúl will return to the Arena in Gelsenkirchen (http://www.schalke04.de/de/) for his officiall goodbye game. I bought first row tickets for this game many months ago, to have a goal to focus on throughout radiotherapy, something to look forward to beside an eventual U2 toure.
So today is thge game. Physically I don't feel like it, and I'm scared to go. But my dad and two close friends will take me.
I so hope it will go well. I'm going for myself, and I go for you, Emiel as well. Because you are teaching me to live life every day, and not waste time. It might go wrong today and become to much, but at least I have tried. I'll take you with me in thoughts and heart, Emiel. Carpe diem. Raùùùùl...... I cannot see him but to be close to him again.... here is tgo hope

yesterday I went to the football game. I was so damn scared it would go wrong. . S04 arena staff was very helpful, let my friend drive me up to the main entrance with his car so I could be spared the too long walk from thr parking lot up to the stadium. Made it good until maybe 80th minute of the game, then I was done with my strength. But we made it to the end, I saw Raúl play and score 2 of the 9 goals. in the halftime break scottish pipes were played and it sounded very Irish and it was beautiful and I thought of Emiel and al of you here, withour band having played that very place in 2005 and 2010. I'm happy I went, with the incredible help of my dad and my friends. today I am wrecked but my heart is happy.
I also went to find my insignia at the 1000-Friends-Wall outside the main arena entrance. first time I could go and witness it myself. so whatever comes up in the future, I'll forever be there

sorry to be a bit off topic, but yesterday was important to me in this crap time, and the first time since January I actually went and did something like I did in my normal life before this all jappened lately

love to you, friends.

how are you today, Emiel?

I'm leaving for a little while.
