Hey Alan,

Sorry to hear about the latest two steps forward, one step back....but still, it sounds like she's headed in the right direction.

I must say, I was impressed, moved....and not the least bit surprised by Samuel's report of your words-as-caretaker. This is the downside of "the good times and the bad", which many people seem unwilling and/or unable to forge thru these days. Whatever those qualities are that allow you to persevere, you have them in spades...and regardless of her current circumstances, you and Helen are lucky to have such a special relationship.

Hang in there, and know that we're rooting for you (as well as for the Red Sox, of course....oh my, we're up 4-1, I can't stand the pressure!!)

Take it easy, and keep us posted as best you can....

xoxo,
Beth
