A New Year

With an excellent prognosis from the doctor on his condition for 2010, Rich has a new lease on life. He expresses his sincere gratitude for everything this cancer journey has brought him. Freedom from problems that used to weigh on his mind. The gift of new relationships. Closer relationships. The way in which everyone came out to show full support. His ability to accept love, generosity, compassion.And of course, I couldn't help reflecting on what his journey has brought me. I was, and continue to be, deeply moved by all of you who came out and supported Rich 100% with his battle. People came together and made amazing things happen. You are all an inspiration and an example of the good that can come when people work together. I cannot thank you enough. I am humbled, inspired, moved.

Thank you to Elizabeth and everyone at Martini Design who hosted Rich and organized meal drop-offs, visits, rides.
Thank you to Angie and Yuji at Kona Kitchen who have always been so gracious
