Thank you for this soulful letter and reminder to live fully. I am a friend of your parents, and can see their love and wisdom in you. I know they also draw it from you. With deepest respect, Ruth Wolever

Maya darling,
I've just returned from South Africa after an absence of 10 years. Your Dad helped me make arrangements with wonderful Sena to spend the afternoon with Margie. I took our old school photos (we were best friends from childhood) to try to jog her memory. Although I was shocked by her frail appearance, she was surprisingly responsive and we spent a wonderful afternoon together. She even remembered teacher's names from High School!
I've just read your incredible piece about "going to the dentist". I would like to share this with my family.
You are an amazing human being -how much you contribute to our lives as you live through your own life-threatening experience!
My prayers are with you. You area very special young woman indeed.

Hi Maya! Wow, what beautifully written and wise words. I was always so impressed with your talent, strength and kindness. I think about you often, sending love and good thoughts your way. Always, Allegra (aka Your APMM Mom :-)

I am so sorry for your tragic news and at the same time so happy to hear your positive beautiful words. l am on your team too :) and send all my love and healing energy your way. Thank you for sharing your amazing story. You make me appreciate life even more, as I do try to live life to the fullest, especially since my accident earlier this year, my head injury was quite a shock, dealing with the symptoms. Though your words have given me such a emotional powerful feeling and will choose to make the utmost of this precious amazing life we have been given. Thank you
