This is a very short very easy to write update.   As the year ends, Rich and Jeannette are together, both out of the hospital, and enjoying the beauty of this season with friends and family; in short, LIVING life and enjoying the wonderful season that defines the Christmas experience.   It has been a long journey, a roller coaster thrill ride at times, and perhaps there are more paths ahead to be traveled still, but as of now with each day the healing process continues and I think we can all relish in the miracles we have witnessed and the wonder of hope for a great and joyous 2014!  - John
