Lou!
Dude! Glad to hear you’re heading in the right direction. Natalie sends her best and Roger says, “gaaahhhh..uhhhhhh..whuuuuuuu.” Hey, he’s six months old, whaddaya want, eloquence?
You will kick this in the ass, buddy. No doubt about it. Just do the work, but don’t try to do it all at once.
One day, in the not too distant future, you will hold a guitar, and your hands will do things that mine have never dared dream of.
Peace.

Lou,
I just wanted to tell you how much you have been on my mind and that i am praying for you. I have just gone through some medical issues myself. On Jan, 15th i had a tumor removed from my spinal cord down at Geisenger Danville. I was in the hospital until the 20th but didnt find out about you until i got home. You are a tough kid and i know that with all of the people supporting you and your attitude that you will make it through this and come out even stronger than before! I made it through these tough time by leaning on the people who matter most and by recognizing that there are alot of people who give a shit about you!! Remember that when things arent going well and you are having a bad day! I along with so many others, give a shit buddy. get well very soon. Todd
ps. be there on the 27th!
