Thank you all so much for your kind and heartfelt messages regarding my health issues. I’m profoundly touched and grateful for everyone of you.  

I must admit that I hesitated before sharing about my condition, as I have never been comfortable with the idea of being a source of concern for the people I love, especially knowing just how distressing life can be at times for everyone.  

That being said, I believe that no matter what we may have to deal with individually, there’s not only a healing solace in the blessing of going through our different challenges with caring companions, but also, if not more importantly, in knowing that we can peacefully lay down in a moment of deepest need, having the utmost assurance that someone else’s loving benevolence will look after us… And now, after I had the beautiful privilege to be that “someone” in several people’s life over the years, it’s time for me to be mended by your affection, you gentleness and your generosity. Being in such a position is new for me and I’m out of words to express how immensely thankful I presently am for you all.

I’m not quite sure what lies ahead of me to be honest, if only that I’m utterly happy that I’ll have the joyful benediction of seeing some of you pretty soon. It brings me a lot of comfort, even though I will have to considerably slow down my usual upbeat self in order to do so… I really don’t know how I’ll manage to do it, but it is absolutely worth it to do so.    

And until I know a little more about what’s next, it was just too important for me to express my gratitude. Even if my condition is a reflection of some forgotten issues and newly-arisen ones, some sort of contemplation about life in general and my existence in particular, it’s been a good day today and I wish us all a forthcoming multitude, so we can commune their unique bright lights all together.  

Much love,
Alex
