Dear Supporters of Gabe ~ Like you, I’m following Gabe’s progress from a distance, as I’m at Rasa Ayurveda in India for about 10 more days. On Friday, I opened my email a to find a note and photos from our good-hearted helper, Suzy, who accompanied Gabe for another visit to prosthetist Jon Batzdorf on [...]

As Gabe and I were unpacking in California, our devoted NJ people carried on without us, coming thru once again with fantastic support for Gabe! We’re so grateful to Celeste, Ralph, Pat & Chris and the yoga community for holding a very successful Garage Sale for Gabe! As the above photo shows, just a few [...]

It’s very encouraging to notice people moved to engage in life more directly, after encountering Gabe and his situation. It certainly helps Gabe and I both feel that all he’s been thru can have value for others. Life is clearly NOT a dress rehearsal… And what’s life all about–anyway–if not allowing ourselves to be reborn, [...]

So David is here, and I’m takin’ off in a little bit. Gabe was ready to escape today, so he popped into his wheelchair for the first time in days and we went outside into the fresh, rainy air. Under his own steam, he rolled all over the place, swung by the café and snagged a [...]

It’s 7 pm, and Gabe hasn’t needed to nap all day. He’s getting sleepy now. The epidural came out this morning. So far so good, and it meant that Gabe got to put on a t-shirt and shorts, the first clothing he’s worn since he’s been here. Aaaahhh. Gabe says he is feeling pretty ready [...]

I had a sleepover with Gabe last night – cool. We stayed up late and ate pizza, while Gabe watched a couple of his million movies. He likes the ones with the “Jersey Boy” producers, set in Jersey, his hood. The language is a little wild for his old Aunt Jessica, but I can hang. [...]

I arrived this evening from CA to find Gabe joking with two of his buds, and a basketball game, baseball game, and video game playing on three of the many screens in the room. I’ll be here for four days to help where I can and give our Niika a break; more troops are incoming [...]
