Turning tragedy into triumph

Jonathan - thanks for the great news, strength and vigilance
Sam - you were right, your mother is an amazing person, physically and mentally
Tim - your the greatest brother anyone could hope for and a constant steady source of comfort

When I first visited MJ in the hospital, I was trying to be the pillar of confidence, but tough to do with tears rolling down my cheek. Walking thru the door, I was greeted with this smiling happy face, saying " hey Joey, how are you doing". How was I doing????? Well a lot better now seeing my sister's attitude in the face of adversity, upbeat optimism and the ability and sincerity to project that to anyone entering her space.

I cannot believe the inspiration she provided in the face of both disappointment, pain and uncertainty. We are now thru the hardest part, and I cannot help but believe the positive attitude is what has contributed to where she is today.

She has a challenging road ahead, but we all pray for a speedy recovery. And I would expect when Jonathan visits her in the recovery room, he will be greeted with a smile. Makes me proud just to know her.
