dear dan,

i've known you for less than a week through your recent and earlier posts. i've found you to be a courageous, caring and compassionate person. as your recent news has been similar to what my sister has been experiencing over the past two weeks, i think of you often. i wish you healing and peace. as for love, there seems to be no shortage of it on this board, and you are its graceful receiver and giver.

good wishes your way.

be well.
