Merry Christmas

Christmas is only a few days away. It is a wonderful time of the year if one focuses on the important aspects of the Holidays. I recently realized that just last year, my wife entered the hospital with newly-discovered tumors in her brain. We spent Christmas, our wedding anniversary and New Years in the hospital while she fought a disease that would ultimately take her life seven months later. Yet, we were together and we made the best of a very difficult situation. To the best of our ability we were happy. We also were given the most precious gift: the realization not to ever take any of our loved ones for granted. I share this gift with all of you. Merry Christmas -- may all your dreams come true!
