Michael, I was thinking of you recently, and then saw a FaceBook post from our (apparently!) mutual friend Dick Hanson quoting you. It's a small world, and it's amazing how often mutual connections are made among good and caring people. Thanks for continuing to keep us posted on your journey. You are forging a distinctive, inspirational journey, my friend. All best to you.

I have nothing but humility and awe for the mystery of life. Deeply grateful to be on the journey with you and your family as our lives weave, pause, interweave, pause again. It's time to bring some food again! How does Craig's fresh tomato sauce with pasta sound?

Thank you and love to you.

Thank you, Michael...for the unknowable measure of the grace that you are, for I receive a piece of it with every post you share.
I know I’m not the only friend who walks the river each day with a prayer for you, and for Jenny, Isaiah and Grace. ❤️

Is that sideways tree your favorite tree? I'd like to see pictures of you experiencing some of your favorite things. Some suggestions for these photos could be your favorite tree, bench, river spot, food, cuddle......whatever you're inspired to share. A sweet cuddle picture of you and Jenny would be especially profound and cherished. I know that is a big ask for a vulnerable share. Please understand that it comes from a place of love and desire to be close to you. Of course, I would always invite you to look inside and find your authentic answer and thank you for honoring your "no" as well.

Dear Ones.. Many waves of gratitude for allowing us so deeply into your lives. Michael, do you ever wish a walking partner along the river. If so, let me know.

Thank you to you both for this post. Thank you to the river. Thank you for the stories, grace and healing compassion toward others.

Michael,
I'm deeply nourished to be riding your river with you.
This most recent selfie shows me a different you.
And you look good. Matured.
Love,
Richard

Thought of you while I was at the river this weekend. Sending love from heart to yours.
