**kelli** – I was going to say something smart-ass about us wasting all our good advice on a non-event but there was no way it could be funny. (Except for the fact that the odds of it actually being _good_ advice were pretty slim.) ## So instead let me add my congratulations and thanks to God for Mom’s recovery! “You have no choice but to be impressed.” Tony Rothman and George Sudarshan _Doubt and Certainty_ ---

I am now wearing a smile, because someone I’ve never met, yet have come to know, has received good news! And that makes me happy. As corny as it may sound, Kelli, this is not only my smile, it is an extension of yours! I’m very happy for you! * * * My fate keeps getting in the way of my destiny. ---

Thank you everyone, what a day! Suddenly, everything is different, better. In one moment, with one phone call, my whole life has changed. I suddenly feel like anything is possible. I feel very alive. I am truly humbled by both the support I have received, and the reaction to this news. Maybe there is hope for the world after all when virtual strangers can care so much about each other. God bless us, every one. ---
