I first joined CaringBridge when my precious brother Terry Kelly (See Terry Kelly Juravinski) was going through cancer therapy. He was in Toronto and I was in Portland Oregon. It meant a lot to me to get updates from Terry and relatives as his journey proceeded. 

Now my friend Amanda Block is recovering from a neurological event. Amanda is making fantastically speedy progress. The updates from Caring Bridge keep me apprised without the need for constant texts, freeing up Amanda to focus solely on her recovery. 

I don't intend to die for another 50 years or so, and I don't intend to get sick. But Terry and Amanda bot surprises from life, and so could I. So in an excess of caution I set up this site so it'll already be there and my relatives won't have to fuss.

And now I'll get back to sending healing energy to Amanda.
