You are a blindingly beautiful soul. I don't know of that many people in fact or fiction who have your confident grace or the indescribable element you possess that the capitalist in me wants to bottle and sell.

I missed the painful years of your paralysis. I have the legendary "then" and the legendary "now" of you. By meeting you in person, I was able to link the two in my mind. I love your guts and humor. I'm proud to call you my friend. And I think in your present physical condition, you're a dead-ringer for Lauren Bacall.

I think that physical disfigurement can happen to any one at any time for any reason. It amazes me since you have pulled through such a bad time with more spirit than maybe you entered it. I admire and love your class and courage.
