Stu, Not sure you remember meeting each other here, at Ohlone, or when I contacted you when I received my darkest message. I spent 6 1/2 months incarcerated at UCSF 11 Long, spent some time here, and looking a pictures of my loved ones (including cars and pets), silently wept, laughed a little, and was mostly scared to heck and back after hope was shattered repeatedly. Through some miracle I am yet here working on my 13th year.
Please know the good you have done, the joy you have spread and all the love of life and others you've touched. Persistence and goodness are your testament. Hang in there and enjoy every day. Mopar Forever Brother.
Steve
