Tyler at Grammy's

Grammy and Marty

Josh, home from RPI, with one of his biggest fans (Capone).

The family (Tyler as photographer).

It is wonderful having both boys around, Josh is integrating into college life tremendously well. All things with a beginning, by definition, must have an end. As this blog must as well. As informative, and expository as this endeavor was, it was, for me at least, cathartic and therapeutic. Without this literary exercise, I'm not sure I would have been able to maintain any semblance of sanity throughout the most difficult times of this ordeal. The constant love , prayer and support from everyone has given my usually cynical nature a fresh blast of nourishment regarding the nature of mankind. During this ordeal (yet, not complete) We have been bolstered by the constant love and prayers of all our extended family. This all still seems like I'm watching through someone else's eyes, I can't imagine a more surreal or emotionally draining event, nor do I wish to. There are so many gifts, cards and prayers that should have been thanked individually, yet weren't, I hope you will forgive us. Tyler is on the road to recovery, that is certain. The time required and the extent of that recovery is still the question. Yet with continued faith and work, we are confident of a great outcome.

Thank You very much for all the prayers and support!

Tyler: If there are any thoughts that I will be continuing this journey without all of you, this is false. I feel all the children of the earth take this journey together and especially all who have been such a big part of my recovery with your many prayers and wishes, will continue this journey with me. A simple, yet heartfelt thanks to everyone. We'll see you on the path.
