Four Year Post Updates

Hi everyone. Having just come back from visiting my son for Thanksgiving (and nudged by your annual appeal notice) I wanted to send you all a note. As always, I continue to think back fondly to all the people at GRACE and the amazing support they gave to me both before and after Sara's passing. Things are going well for me. I am dating a wonderful woman - and I am blessed to have another great relationship in my life. I visited my son for Thanksgiving (In Missouri) and my daughter the week before (in Rhode Island). My two grandkids in Rhode Island are a joy, and I have many friends here in Chicago.

I know cancer even more intimately now, as I have had my own bout with colon cancer. PSA was just a bit high, had a biopsy, and voila - there it was. But, it was caught very early and I had 6 weeks of every weekday radiation just before summer. Hopefully it's all gone now - we monitor PSA and hope it keeps going down. Rachel, the woman I am with, has been a remarkable support to me throughout. Finding love again with a woman who is so caring and gracious give me great reason for thanks. So, I hope all of you have wonderful holidays, filled with many blessings of your own- with health happiness, and lots of joy.

As always, everyone at GRACE will have my everlasting gratitude and thanks.

Happy Holidays and lots of warm winter love, Stan
