Hello Robert and family:
SEVEN YEARS! How wonderful. That is something all of us would like to be able to write about. Congratulations. I know the side effects are disappointing, but heck, they're a lot better than the alternative, right? I hate my side effects and they never go away or get better, but am thankful to be alive, and I know you are from your letter. You enjoy your family and celebrate those 7 years - that is marvelous!
