To the TC Ohana,

Tina and I want to express our deepest thanks for your love and support. When I read these messages yesterday, I was completely blown away by your thoughts, prayers, comments and hopes for us. I am overwhelmed by your kindness from those whom I have come to know well to those I never met. It just speaks to the wonderful vibe this website has always had that keeps us coming back.

As I read your comments, it was really strange to follow my own progression in terms of my health situation. Of course, I had no idea how serious my condition was, but I can tell you that I could feel the power of a lot of people supporting me. It was incredible to follow the updates as I continued (and still continue) to grow stronger. In doing so, I could not help but have a mini breakdown as I cried, laughed, felt an incredible sense of pride that I belong with such an amazing group of people. I would also, like to send a special mahalo to TikiGreg and Kathleen for posting and keeping you all up to date. I'm still amazed at all the support they were able to coordinate from all of you. We love you guys!

Anyhoo, Tina is telling me that it is time for lunch and more meds, so I must go for now, but I wanted to at least acknowledge all of you for your thoughtfulness.
I'll fill you in on the full story sometime as it was quite the ordeal coming up from Baja. But for now, please know that I truly appreciate your Mana and that the power of positive thinking works!

Many Mahalos!

Aloha,

Arty
