Let me first start out by saying that I never expected for Traci's condition to do what it did. When we first met, we had dinner at a restaurant and then went bowling. We'd been to Lakers games at the Staples Center, went dancing, and all kinds of things that healthy couples do without a worry in the world. It was a shock to me when Traci's condition regressed at the rate that it did.
When I had to take my leave of absence to focus on the medical care that Traci requires, it was heartbreaking. I loved serving the Real Estate industry and all of my clients. It's been a true joy to do what I do for the last 10 years. But when Sergio Siderman, not just my boss, but my dear friend for the last 10 years called me and said that NDA was starting a fund for my family, I was in complete and utter awe. I was truly thankful for the gesture, and honestly had no real expectation as I was simply too caught up in other things.
When the e-mails started coming through, to say that I was surprised is not saying it strong enough. I was astonished at the sheer number of people that poured out their gratitude by simply reaching out to me and my family, offering their condolences, and offering their charitable contributions to my family. It truly restored my faith in people.
I am deeply thankful for each of you that has poured out time and effort and money. I am thankful for every email wishing good things, and I am eternally grateful for your thoughts and your prayers as Traci's healing process continues.
I'll faithfully update this site that I've created as it seems to be the best way to let people know what is going on with our lives, and the great impact that you've all had. Hopefully, as this blog evolves, it will tell a story of eventual health and healing.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
