When we have energy, can think straight, speak articulately and write thoughtful essays we rarely stop to marvel at the incredible machine that is the human body. It is only when something thwarts our intentions that we can actually notice two significant facts about our mortality: - we are fragile, even vulnerable, creatures - we have an amazing capacity to heal even from the deadliest injury. Bob, I thank God you're alive! Some day when you can look back on this, you will remember the healing process (and occasional setbacks). But they will become incidental to the overall story. I know what a great storyteller and writer you are. Maybe part of your purpose in being here with us today - instead of on the other side - is to help make change occur ... whether it is gun control, deliquency (and the dire need for adult mentors for today's youth!), healthcare reform, judicial reform, self-actualization or something greater than all these. I am grateful you are still with us. Keep on keeping on and we'll stay tuned in. Love ya! G We take so much for granted.
