you are
mankind’s energy,
a miracle often admired,
the will to live itself.

I read “Letting the Crazies Win” with breath held and fists clenched but let out a big, happy sigh of relief along with you as I read “Ahhh”. Wonderful writing, but FANTASTIC news. Sending big hugs along with more positive vibes and much admiration for you. Love, Deb’s FPU

Jen & Peter – some months ago Ruth responded to an email and indicated that she and Suzanne were heading out to help with the kids. I inquired if all was okay and never heard back. I am so sorry about all you have been through and am elated at your good news. I LOVE the picture on Peter’s blog – you may a beautiful hairless couple and I applaud your courage, Jen. Love to you both, Cari

I just sent you an email because I was having trouble finding this. The good news and the bread — sourdough, especially — have warmed my heart. I needed that. The last thing I had on my knitting needles was for your blanket. I haven’t been able to get anything started lately. Tonight I am planning a project for a 10 year old boy so we can help him kick his lymphoma into outer space. You have been an inspiration. ((( )))
