Dear Family and Friends,
It is great to be home with Mike. I still can't believe the speed in which we were able to return home. "Mike is really incredible, isn't he?" I'm so proud of him for handling this ordeal with such a positive attitude. We are settling into a routine that includes alot of rest and a little work. At times I am reminded of the days when we waited for Jason and Marni to wake from their naps. It makes me feel young again. Mike blogged about appreciating the "little things" in life, and I couldn't agree more. I am filled with gratitude for the blessings that we've been given. Having Mike home and getting stronger is an answered prayer. In her last comment, Mari wrote about having her life saved by someone. I am so happy that Mari's fate was changed. She has been a positive influence in the lives of so many others (including us). I started thinking about how certain actions can change a life. All of you have been a lifeline for us. Our lives are forever changed by your kindness and generosity. It is our connections to one another that make us feel fulfilled. This blog has helped us to be connected to one another, and to form a circle of love around Mike. It has been a powerful tool in his recovery. It's an example of the positive effect of nuturing. The road is less rocky with your encouragement and support. Thank you for your part in bringing "MY BOYFRIEND" back home. I am so grateful to all of you.
Love, Cookie

Hi Cookie and Mike-
You both have included everyone in your journey - and along the way, it helped us!!! A friend is someone who makes you feel better about yourself. This has been very personal to us and we are so happy knowing Mike gets stronger everyday.
Now, I think you need to include, 'My Boyfriend's Back' in the Centermusic's Playlist 1st annual CD. Don't forget 'My Love' and 'Cherish.' Doesn't music just make it all better?

Hey Cookie and Mike,
I really missed you guys. Everyday, I would log on to see what you had to say and you haven't been there. It's such in inspiration to read all the wonderful news about Mikes recovery and all the love that has been expressed.
I thought maybe now that you have "gone home" we would just email you. I so agree about about stopping and enjoying all that life has to offer and finding the "present" that is given to us all each day. The smallest things can make you thankful. We are soooo thankful for your love and friendship for many years to come. We looking forward to putting our arms around you both.
So glad the blogg is up and running again. As the Krasney's wrote, I can think of some fun songs too.
With much love to you both,
Denise
Mikey,
Thanks for yesterday. It was great spending the day with you. I'm happy to chauffer you around any time. I especially enjoyed the tour of the hospital. Although, it sure will be nice when those visits are no longer necessary. You look great and continue to have a terrific outlook. You really are an inspiration! Remember, I'm on call.
Luv ya,
Marc

Hi Mike and Cookie, great to hear you are both doing well. I am happy to hear that. Another patient of ours just recently told me about their blog and I told them about how helpful your blog was to your road to recovery. Stay positive and healthy, Mr. Mike!

My Love,
We truly miss you. You are one of the best parts of the stem cell experience...the ultimate BEST is, of course, having Mike home. I know that we are on the road to recovery, but we have a few miles to travel before we are sure of our way. You have given us a map. Thank you for being our compass. and for guiding us home. We are so grateful to you.
Love, Cookie and Mike
