A friend in need...

I've learned that "...cowboys stick together and never leave anybody behind. They always look out for their horses, their cows and most importantly they look out for each other."

 

"If there's anything I can do, just let me know." Surely you've said that to someone going through a rough time -- we all have. It's the sort of well-worn, well-meaning phrase that we utter reflexively before hanging up the phone, anxious to do our friendship or family duty.

But here's the thing -- most people in the midst of a crisis can't really get it together to tell you exactly what they need. Thanks to Mark, Tom, and Chad for organizing this benefit for my nephew Theo. They saw that he was in need and sprang into action. So many other people have offered to help and have made donations to ensure the success of this event.

I continue to be so grateful for Theo's miraculous recovery. He's on the road to a full recovery.
