Dear Machka,

Thank you for the up-date.

You don't know me from a hole in a wall and I in return only know of you and Rowan from your postings here on BF but I will acknowledge that I have been amazed by the lives you both have lived and am constantly motivated to ask more of myself than I think possible because of the outstanding achievements accomplished by you-all, both as individuals and as a uniquely loving couple.

You are a pillar of strength as is evidenced by your second post and I hope for continual improvement in Rowan's condition.

Sincerely.

John Van Note

p.s.--A short spin of the cranks could be very therapeutic in more ways than one can appreciate. Be well and will be waiting for up-date.
