- We know that we can feel fear without allowing ourselves to be paralyzed by it.

- We have a found a new sort of intimacy far beyond the romance of our early years together.

- We have wonderful and loyal friends who support us.
- We love our family and our family loves us.
- We are so glad to have good health insurance.
- We are thankful to The University of Montana for allowing me this time to be here to take care of Roger. The transplant would not have been possible otherwise.
- We are thankful for our friends and co-workers at The University of Montana who have generously donated their sick leave.

We are grateful that this list can only get longer day by day!
