Woo Hoo!!

Eric,

WOW!! It's so great to hear directly from you. Thank you so much for letting us all know (in your own words) how you're doing, and what the future looks like. I am sure it was not easy writing such a letter, but it is much appreciated.

Your letter was exactly as I would have expected it to be; honest, direct, and positive. I always think that is the best way to face a challenge. Like I always say, you're a fighter and one who would never give up!! Whatever happens you will continue to live your life the way you always thought you would. It might include a few changes, but that is OK. Life is full of change, and once we embrace that fact, life is good!! If we all only had a teeny bit of your strength, we'd be better off, too. :o)

I am so happy knowing that you'll be moving to Santa Clara soon. Yippie! Are you really prepared to have so many people in your face all day? HA HA!! I think you'll need to set up a video recorder and simply press "play"whenever a new visitor stops by...you know we'll all be asking the same questions. HEE! But you know it's only because we care and love you, and want to do whatever we can to help you through this difficult time.

With that being said, please let me know if you would like any reading materials or something else to help occupy your time. I know you hate TV and don't want you going bonkers in there. :o)

I'm off for now, but know that I'm thinking about you lots. I have many people praying for you and sending their positive energy your way.

Hope to see you soon,
Michele
