Debbie McGowan and Rose at the Rothko Chapel in Houston today.  The chapel walls are adorned by massive Mark Rothko paintings and lit by indirect natural light. It is a place of sanctuary and peace - a good place to give thanks for Rose's much improved health.

Something has kicked in and the pace of Rose's healing has accelerated - I have finally begun to believe that we are on our way here, after many twists and turns and disappointments.  We are enormously grateful - to our doctor, our friends, colleagues and neighbors, to the extraordinary medical science that is making this possible.
