Wow--that was speedy! I trust that all of the wonderful serendipity you described will continue as you move forward, and that you are supported by thousands of caring hands and hearts! Much love, Pam

Michael, you and Jenny and your kids have been in and through our thoughts and hearts all weekend after reading your life-shaking news. Your notes are full of grace and gentleness and invitation to love you on this journey... God be close to you today, every moment. With much love, Debbie and Rudy

Michael,

I am so so sorry about this news. Thanks for including us in the journey. Sending love and prayers and hopeful thoughts.

Dear Michael,
We just want you to know that we are thinking and praying for you, Jenny, Isaiah and Grace on your healing journey.
Much love, Tim and Indi (Christy and Harry's friends)

Michael,
I'll be holding that image with you--of the tumor shrinking and melting in beams of love. You and your family are in my prayers, and I am sending you love and light today and every day.

Thank you for sharing your experience, your faith, and your love.

I will be reading religiously and internalizing your words so that they can come back to you in the form of good energy. When I was diagnosed with Lyme Disease, my doctor (like you) encouraged me to see it as a message. She asked me to contemplate the question "Why are you here?" And it's been a part of my journey ever since. Good luck on YOUR journey - I will be thinking about you and your family and sending peace your way.

Michael (which feels strange - when I last saw you we were at the age where we used last names for each other), I'm sorry to hear this, but based on my recollection of you and the testimony of your more recent friends I have no doubt that this is a temporary setback in an otherwise spectacular life. May your surgery be a smashing success and may your recovery be quick and painless. If there is anything that I can do, let me know.

Michael, please know I am holding you and your family in my prayers, and count me among those who are visualizing that surprise visitor shrinking and moving along.

I'm so sorry to hear this Michael. When I first met John Ackerman, in his early 60's, he had surgery removing a brain tumor as well. It all went well for him. I will call on him to be with you in an intentional, healing way.

Michael, I'm so sorry to hear this news. Makes me quit sad, prayers are coming for you & everyone in the family.
