Your response touched me deeply.

Politically - I consider myself a traditional liberal. I don't like censorship and I think journalists should always report the unvarnished truth, as the fourth estate.

I truly hope for the best for you. I love that you are in a place of gratitude. I feel the same way - I cherish the people in my life and have become much more demonstrative in telling them. I used to be much more of a typical geek and didn't share.

Feel free to stay in touch with me and I will provide whatever emotional support I can, though you are in a good place, which makes me happy. And I feel a connection with you not only re. the health issues but also the MIT connection.

I will definitely consider the TR connection!!! I love Technology Review!

I am wishing you the best and will pray you find a transplant. Please feel free to stay in touch.
