Joseph, you're a gifted writer. I know things aren't ideal on your end, but reading your thoughts from this 4-part series has been an immense blessing to me at this time. The Rhea family is still a topic of conversation back here in Indy (all good ones, of course), and I'll continue to pray for your health and well-being. Send my love to Allison and the kids. Love you, brother!

Jingo, thanks so much for reaching out, and for the prayers! I really appreciate both, and I'm glad these pieces have been encouraging. I'm doing better now than I was a few weeks ago, and it seems like we're on a path that's leading to recovery, which I'm incredibly thankful for.

I hope you and your family are well too! I see photos of your little one pop up on Facebook every now and then and they always make me smile ;)

Joseph, though I might wish the circumstances were different, it’s nonetheless good to “catch up” with you and to learn how to better pray for you, Allison, and your family. Hope your mildly belated Thanksgiving is indeed blessed in the things that mean most. Love you, brother. And keep writing as the Lord allows and enables.

once again your words move me to tears, and then to prayer. Marc and I have you deep in our hearts and have been reading and keeping an eye out from afar. May your emotional strength and resilience hold fast when physical strength may waver. Eating and standing and being home are huge milestones. And they are the beginning of the new path to wellness. You told me two years ago this road has bumps and i will be redirected many times, May your bumps get smoother and your directional compass stay strong. I selfishly miss you but I know you are where you should be. ♥️

Joseph, so well written to keep us current. Your explanation and use of scripture to inspire us to know Christ regardless of circumstances is very helpful. Keep writing; the world needs your insight. Pleased with prognosis for improving health from medical doctors. Eating and standing is very significant. Praying for Allison’s improvement also.
