kudos

We're home.  

Time to breathe deep and remember, starting with much kudos to those listed below, and many others who we will never know.

• To the friends and neighbors who provided loving Thunder (he's our cat) care, and filled our refrigerator with grains and vegetables and jars of organic kosher chicken soup (if that doesn't cure cancer...);
• To those who took shovel and snowblower to our driveway; 
  
• To new and old friends in New York who shared time, meals, and laughter with us during Rich's hospital stay;
• To the amazing people at Miracle House;
• To the staff at Memorial Sloan Kettering, whose care, compassion, and competence exceed just about every institution I've known;
• To Rich's colleagues who sent him a box filled with CDs and DVDs of "Fawlty Towers" and "I Love Lucy" and other comedic greats;
• To all who called, wrote, visited, and kept us in their lives.

And the list could go on and on, gratitude without end.  None of these efforts may be enough to "cure" Rich (except for the chicken soup...) but they're more than enough to make this life beautiful.
