Dear Phillip,

Count me among those sending thoughts and caring your way.  If I were already home in Buffalo, I could pop by Roswell Park with a BetterMost bean  casserole and arrange for a bunch of Brokies to serenade your family with rounds of "Water Walkin' Jesus."   ;) 

Seriously, I know personally how horrific the challenges that you are facing right now can be.  I have the reverse of the usual seasonal affective disorder affliction, in that it hits me HARD HARD HARD in the summer.... and in winter, I am as chipper as can be no matter how gray the skies get.  That is one of my reasons for leaving the tropical swamp of our nation's capital for home, where the humidity is not so high as to cause one's skin to rot (no hyperbole here -- that happened to one of my St. Bernards last summer!!).  I have also dealt with the stress and devastation that cancer brings up close & personal.  (I recently posted some of that experience in, of all places, the Polling Place regarding the summer solstice).  I also know what a fantastic place of grit & hope Roswell Park can be.  I'm glad your mom is with them.

Please keep us posted, and consider yourself hugged by the BetterMost minions.  -- Alec

Front-Ranger:
May I recommend the new duet album with Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris "All the Roadrunning" which reminds me of the BBM soundtrack a little with the guitar (tho a Stratocaster this time) and Emmylou's beautiful voice. Some of the songs are country-ish and others are like old Irish hymns, bluegrass, or mellow rock. A few are a little sad but most are very positive and some are downright romantic. Overall, I think it would lift your spirits! Hope your health detour is short, the summer solstice and full moon have affected me more than usual this year. I wonder if having BBM on my mind nonstop has had something to do with that? I'd invite you to come to Colorado for a constitutional, but it's hot here too and the Ponderosa pine pollen is everywhere, lending a golden sheen to the light (and to my furniture and wood floors!).

Meryl:
Dear Phillip, thanks for sharing the bad as well as the good with us.  You have a positive outlook on things as well as a great sense of humor, and that will stand you in good stead through all this, I'm sure.  God bless, and know we're pulling for you and your dear ones.  :-*
