And so it begins... or is it the end of this mystery, or maybe just the next chapter? On 5.01.08, jack (a.k.a. jack-a-roof-us) will finally receive his mother's kidney. Life into life itself -- AGAIN. What a miracle.
With a date finally here, we can begin to visualize the path ahead. We feel powerful, overwhelmingly supported, humbled, and oddly excited to move forward with this. This may all rapidly change to fear on 5.01 but for today, we continue to be inspired by Jack's own strength, courage, and smiley face.
Many questions are still out there for us... jack's recovery time, life after transplant, do I have to wait 6 weeks to do a handstand?!, will Sam be happy that he doesn't have to share his new golf club set? We realize that the answers aren't really something that we can unveil now. So, we continue to trust in the power of grace and life itself.

Ali and Harry-
I know you have lots of prayer supporting you as well as your own determination to 'change poison into medicine'. I have full confidence all will be well for you in no time. What an incredible journey. I will chant abundant daimoku for a full recovery. Nam Myoho Renge Kyo.

Al-
I've always admired your strength and the spirit of Jack. You're in our prayers every night and when we ask ourselves what we are grateful for...I always envision you. You have so much love and light surrounding you & your family along this journey.
We love you so much and look forward to the next time we can all be together!
Love, Kellie, Paul & Maddox
Ali and Harry, our heart is with you. We live very close and please let us know for any help. We all love you.

Ship ahoy, mates, and happy hoopsters! Renaissance men at age 2! I believe in happy endings and beginnings. Your mom so gracefully taught me (with a little help from her friends Rumi and others) that the obstacle is the road so we'll be along for the ride. Mark and I are getting used to this transplant thing and are here to support and help!
Love, Margie
Ali and Harry- and those sweet boys- so the day has been set! I am so proud of the strength that you all have and the light that shines through you all- You all are truly an inspiration! My boys pray for their little friends every night. Mason wanted me to tell Sam and Jack that he can't wait to hang out and play a little basketball- Indiana style! Lots of love from the Lou!

Ali:
Your mom has always told me that "attitude is gratitude". Your positive attitude going into this journey will serve you well. There are many people here that you don't know who are joining me daily in prayer time, that the medical personnel serving you and Jack will be guided wisely.
Dearest Al Gal-
I have now doubt in my mind that you all will get through this transition with grace and ease.
Ali darling, you are such an amazing and strong person who is filled with so much light and love. Many blessings to you and your family. You'll be in my prayers! Om shanti, Annie K. :)
Dear Ali,
My prayers are with you. I am your mom's yoga student who donated a kidney to her son last year. The most beautiful experience of my life. Be gentle with yourself as you travel this path. Experience it all.
Namaste,
