When I read the comment from David I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. I know how scary it must have been to face such a rough surgery after all he had to endure up to that point but I just had a feeling that his trip to Houston would help immensely. I am overjoyed to know that he gets to hold his wife and his daughter in his arms as he travels the road to recovery. What a blessing and how wonderful it is to have a sister like you to persist and keep things moving like you did. Your rewards in life will be great.
Tell David that I am thinking of him often and glad he is doing as good as he is.
